Without Embarrassment: The Social Coward's Totally Fearless Seduction System
Harness the perfect High Status Male Attitude to create instant attraction in any woman that you please, by projecting the powerful Dominant Male Persona that she finds so irresistibly attractive.
A Good Rap is Crucial
The most important skill any man can possess is the ability to know when and how to approach a woman with romantic intent -- and to do so in a very classy way. Humans court with conversation -- both verbal and non-verbal -- so you must have an effective rap in order to capture the romantic interest of women, or you are dead, dead... dead!
But you can't develop any real skill in this area if your fear of being rejected blocks your ability to interact with women socially... to make mistakes, learn from them, and thus improve your game. So it's a good thing that...
You Can Become Fearless
A deep-seated fear of being rejected by a woman is a tough phobia to crack, but it can be overcome with specific knowledge and training. My 'Social Coward's Method' is a process that you can easily master which will allow you to act free of the choking fear that you often feel when trying to meet women.
Develop Your Seductive Intelligence
Without Embarrassment is not some "pick-up chicks" book that expects you to play a bull-in-a-china-store type of numbers game by hitting on every female in sight -- blow your ego to smithereens -- and leave the pieces lying all over the floor. Instead, it will teach you how to develop a kind of gentle, seductive intelligence that an amazing number of women (some that you wouldn't ever expect) will find absolutely charming.
Automatic Female Submission is the Ultimate Goal
A man who knows how it's done can set off mating triggers buried deep within a woman's subconscious mind. Powerful instinctual forces will then compel her to submit to what she perceives to be a dominant male. Seduction becomes an enjoyable pastime that you can play at your leisure once you understand these principles.
Using Without Embarrassment's unique socializing methods you will learn how to...
Overcome the mental 'shame & shyness' blocks that are holding you back from saying something clever and useful when you see a pretty girl... blocks that lie at the root of your rejection sensitivity.
Avoid sending out those deadly "I've been defeated by other men..." signals that low status males broadcast all over the place.
Become skilled at advanced psychological techniques that will compel any woman to respond to your advances favorably -- so that you don't get rejected again and again and have to keep crawling back into your hermit shell!
Remove the shame-fueled rage that prevents you from developing long term intimate connections with women.
Make fantastic first impressions in less than 3 minutes.
Break the destructive cycle of rejection / self-castigation, over-thinking and other self-defeating behaviors that are holding you down socially... forever!
Stop being friends with women and start getting laid!
The key to everything when it comes to being romantically successful with women is learning how to project the image of the High Status Male. Without Embarrassment: The Social Coward's Totally Fearless Seduction System will show you how easy it is to begin using your brainpower to serve your needs for a change, instead of short-circuiting them.

Simply.. one of THE BEST!.......2007-06-05
I found this book gave me a deep understanding of all the steps that he describes. He prefers to describe a few technics and ideas, but they are of a profound value and he elaborates a lot about it so you have a very deep understanding of it. I would say it is definitely for BEGINNER to INTERMEDIATE level of expertise... , but it is the BEST to have!
Definitely for total beginners.......2007-03-26
I think a lot of the bad reviews here are from dudes who are already good with girls. When I got this book, I was painfully shy, and I credit this book for helping me break out of that.
A WELL-WRITTEN BOOK FOR THE PAINFULLY SHY & UNDER-CONFIDENT..........2007-02-13
... but wouldn't be of much benefit to your average, everyday bloke who's sense of self-esteem and confidence doesn't require psychotherapy... this book is more or less geared to the 40-year-old-virgin type.
Disappointed.......2007-02-01
I almost stopped reading this book twice, very disappointed not a good read what so ever. He kept going over the same things numerous times, the book was way way to long, for what i feel he had to share. He went into psychological issues and got wat to technical and drawn out. Wish i could get my money back.
From shy to sly........2006-11-05
This is one of the better books on dating. Michael Pilinski speaks directly to the social coward. Never have I read a dating book that speaks squarely to its intended audience. He only mentions problems the social coward is likely to experience (nervousness, anxiety, self consciousness), defines it, and destroys that belief system. The beauty of the book comes from Michael Pilinski's empathy for the social coward, as he claims to have been one himself. This book deals with the issues preventing shy men from dating, so you won't find too much on the opposite sex.

Penzler Pick, June 2001: Those of us who have been waiting for Walter Mosley to return to mystery writing--and there are many of us--have cause to rejoice. Not only has Mosley written a mystery, he is introducing a new character who could turn out to be as popular as Easy Rawlins.
Fearless Jones has a lot in common with Easy, but he also has some characteristics reminiscent of Socrates Fortlow, the "hero" of Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned. When the story begins, the reader is transported to the Los Angeles of the 1950s, a dangerous place and time for a black man. But Paris Minton seems to have beaten the odds. He owns a moderately successful and very satisfying business--a used book store. He spends the time he's not in the store scouring libraries for discarded books and selling them in just enough quantity to be independent and happy. Yes, he is visited on a regular basis by members of the LAPD who want him to prove to them that he did not steal the books, but that is a small price to pay for independence.
Minton's peaceful life is interrupted one day when a beautiful woman walks into his store and asks for the Reverend William Grove. In no time flat, Paris has been beaten into unconsciousness by a man following her and has been rewarded by the woman with sex. The lovely Elana Love is obviously trouble, but Paris jumps in feet first and, as a consequence, his store is burned to the ground. It is obviously time to call in Fearless Jones, a man well named. Jones is afraid of nothing, but there is a little matter to be taken care of before he can help. He's in jail and Paris must raise bail to get him out. Once he does that, the pair embark on a wild ride through Los Angeles on behalf of Elana Love. As always, Mosley depicts the hard-boiled L.A. in a powerful and distinctive way, and we can only hope that this is the first of a series. --Otto Penzler

Download Description
Paris Minton is minding his own business--a small used bookstore of which he is the proud proprietor--when a beautiful woman named Elana Love walks in and asks a few questions. Within the next twenty-four hours, Paris has been beaten up, made love to, shot at, and robbed, and his bookstore has been burned to the ground. He's in so much trouble he has no choice but to get his friend Fearless Jones out of jail to help. Fearless Jones is an army veteran, a man who is proud of his accomplishments during World War II, and refuses to step into the background now that the war is over. Violence dogs Fearless's every step, and Paris has tried to keep his distance. But there's no friend like the one you need. The two set out to find the elusive Elana Love, and every step leads them deeper into a bewildering vortex of money and betrayal. Their questions bring out a ruthless and racist cop, a gang of vicious ex-cons, and an elderly Jewish woman who is as determined to help the two friends as others are to harm them. These two Black men in 1950s Los Angeles have few rights, little money, and no recourse under attack. But they have their friends, their wits, and their knowledge of the way the world really works to help them prevail.
Written with the blazing pace of noir classics like The Maltese Falcon, Fearless Jones also possesses the humor and original insights into American places and characters that have made Walter Mosley one of the most admired writers of our time.

Great set-up, lackluster intrigue.......2006-06-28
The premise for Walter Mosley's "Fearless Jones" is certainly a doozy. After reading the back cover I was sucked right in and eagerly began to read. You see, Paris Minton is minding his own business reading in his used book store when the beautiful and mysterious Elana Love (a classic femme fatale) walks in and changes everything. Within minutes of her arrival Paris has been brutally beaten by a thug who shows up looking for her, and in the ensuing chaos he is chased, shot at, seduced by Ms. Love, and loses his beloved store to arson. When Elana makes off with his money and his car, Paris becomes determined to find out what she was mixed up in and to exact revenge. To do this he must first bail his best buddy, Fearless Jones, out of jail to make use of his talents in such matters.
Great set-up, right? Unfortunately the execution is quite lacking, and ironically I thought that the plot took its big dive the moment Fearless himself showed up. So much importance is placed on Fearless' charisma and nobility to further the plot, but he just isn't as magnetic as Mosley seems to think he is. His partnership with Paris doesn't help matters much because the two of them stall the novel's action completely at alternating points, going about their investigation with all of the urgency of two men running errands. The two of them keep taking time outs to do ... not much, actually. Fearless hooks up with an old girlfriend, Paris seemingly falls for a damaged waitress (although ultimately it is hard to believe that he really feels anything for her at all), Fearless takes on a new pet in a dog that the two encounter, and more, but none of it has anything to do with the plot. One wishes that Mosley had streamlined these elements and kept better control of the plot -- which gets way out of hand by the end. By the time Nazi war criminals and the Israeli government get involved you'll have a headache and wish that Mosley had simply stuck to the extortion, corrupt police, and creepy church thugs that he had started the book out with. I had never read a book by Mosley before, and perhaps I should have stuck with one of the Easy Rawlins series for a first experience. I think that I still will give one a try someday -- but not until I've had enough time to get rid of the bad taste in my mouth that "Fearless Jones" has left me with.
Is Murder and Mayhem Supposed to be this Funny.......2006-06-17
This is my introduction to Walter Mosley, (whose Easy Rawlins is a favorite of my daughter) and I am very impressed by his manner of writing people who seem real, but are in totally bizarre situations. Mosley does a great job in evoking 1950s LA at a time when the place of anyone who wasn't a WASP, was in their place. (As an aside, Mosley only makes two mistakes in his timeline...the proper name for African-Americans at this time was colored, I don't think even blacks calls themselves Blacks; and the use of the word pig to designate a cop didn't appear until the late sixties, at this time blacks called cops Ofays.)
Now this is really not a story about Fearless (who real name is Tristan), but about his friend Paris. Paris wants nothing more than to run his used book store. But like most people in a noir book, what he wants and what he gets are two totally different things. The story begins when he gets involved with a good looking woman who acts like a damsel-in-distress, but she's more like a black widow (no pun intended). Gee, and she has a big bad boyfriend named Leon, who likes to beat up people, especially those that mess with his girlfriend.
Summary of the story is that he and his friend Milo (an ex-lawyer) get Fearless out of jail, they then run into arson for hire, murder for hire, murder for money, ex-Nazi war criminals, Israeli spies, illegal war bootie, crooked religious confidence men, and some other stuff. In the end, everything comes out alright (except of course for the dead people) and Paris gets another store.
You know Paris, I think this is the beginning of a wonderful series. Can't wait for the next installment.
dreadful.......2005-02-06
Something about this book just didn't click for me. I love mysteries, but I just never appreciated what was going on between Leon, Elana, the Reverend Grove, Sol, the nazis, and the Israeli spies. Too many characters had odd parts that complicated the action. This was just a very disjointed, rambling story.
Twice the Price.......2004-02-19
I'm reviewing the price not the book!
I have not read this book but it looks very good. I was hoping to get it on CD for those long drives to work but Whoa! Have you seen the price? $56 for an unabridged CD of a book that's only 300+ pages? In contrast, its' sequel is 400+ pages and the unabridged CD only costs $18! Is this a typo Amazon? or has the publisher gone mad?
A Little Piece Of Black Justice.......2003-08-19
this novel closely parallels "devil in a blue dress," switching the roles a bit. instead of easy rollins out finding justice with his tough little pal mouse, it's little pal paris minton with his tough buddy fearless jones out trying to find the same. poor paris gets roped into some bad luck when a misunderstanding gets his bookstore burned down in 1950's california. basically, paris feels cheated, no livlihood and no home as he lived in his store, and refuses to go out like a sucker. he gets his tough best friend fearless jones to help him find the villians that are trying to keep him down and they fully expect to get what they have coming to them.
this is no ordinary day in a black man's life, but it is written as such. the layman reading this piece might even feel like black men had to deal with garbage like this every day. though that was not the case, it wasn't far from it let me tell you. reading this gives a lot of insight to those not in the know and moseley is one of those rare writers who chooses to educate us while entertaining us. the lingo is indicative of the era and the characters are nicely fleshed out. ironically enough, fearless jones was my least favorite, probably because it wasn't really about him to begin with. he plays out like this hardcase with a heart of gold, brandishing his own private view of right and wrong.
paris is the real deal here. a mealy-mouthed sort with no real manly confidence, but he's not about to take his new misgiving lying down. he's no tough guy so he gets his tough guy friend to help. but by the end of the story, he changes nicely for the better and it was nice to see the little guy get some guts. there is also a lot in there about a strange relationship the guys strike up with an older jewish couple, which i found pretty charming in the face of the rampant bigotry of the time.
just like mosely to put together an intriguing whodunnit filled with pitfalls and plot switches at every turn. nice read here for when there's just nothing on the tube.

A really good read. Entertaining and fun........2007-08-10
I love to read books, just not fiction. But when I read Fearless I was surprised at how into it I got.
Normally, I like biographical, historical, books of the Bible, Bible commentary, books on theology, and the like. Fiction usually bores me, except for graphic novels (especially Batman!) But in trying to write my own novel, Stephen King suggests that you actually read other people's work in order to learn how to write. I tried a few books by different authors, but had a hard time finding a genre that peaked my interest.
When I heard about the "Fearless" series though, it sounded like exactly the kind of genre I am writing about, and it is. Perhaps that is why I enjoyed this book so much.
Pascal is great at keeping the story going and holding the reader's attention. I look forward to reading book two in the series.
Fearless #1.......2007-07-16
I actually liked this book more than I thought I would. It was kind of mysterious, but it wasn't a full-out mystery. It was just a really good teen novel. I thought that Gaia was interesting and believeable, even if she is fearless. I wouldn't say that this was a great book, but it was definitely interesting and worth my time.
Gaia teenage superhero.......2006-07-22
Gaia Moore has come to New York to stay with George Niven and his new wife Ella. To Gaia it is just another home in a string of foster homes. Gaia works on her existential veiws of life as she makes new friends and enemies.
Gaia is no ordinary teenaged girl though, she is literally fearless. Born with out a fearless gene Gaia tends to make life harder than it is. By day she attends school when she's not busy cutting classes to play chess. By night she strolls around in Washington Square Park looking for drug dealers and rapists. Gaia takes it on as her own personal duty to clear the park of the late night trash and keep it safe for the people who consider it home.
At school Gaia meets Ed the kid in the wheel chair who ends up getting the wrong idea about her. When he sees her in the park participating in her late night activities he boldly comes to her rescue. Instead she almost gets killed from his distraction and works to save them both. Oddly enough they become quick friends. Unlike the evil Heather Gannis whose sole purpose seems to be making Gaia's life miserable. Along with Heather's boyfriend Sam Moon who Gaia is intensly attracted to.
How much more complicated could Gaia's life get? A lot it turns out.
good start for a wonderful series.......2006-07-05
This is the first book in a long running and wonderful series, about a girl with no fear gene, you must read this if you into drama, action, love, suspense, or romance. this is a must read.
Fearless.......2006-04-02
I came across this book and thought it was interesting, so I ordered #1~#5 in one breath. Turns out this isn't a book for me.
Interesting enough, gorgeous seventeen-year-old Gaia is a girl born without the fear gene, and also happens to be a genius who is an expert at karate, boxing, etc. Just knowing that makes you realize this book will be coping with a lot of violence. Through the story, we learn about her past: she is abandoned by her father, her mother is dead, now she is under the roof of a murderous Ella and a clueless George.
At a new school, she meets Ed (who is in a wheelchair) who admires her beauty, and bitchy Heather who happens to go out with the man Gaia loves, Sam. Gaia has everything, something that continues to get on my nerves. Gaia deals with dating and drugs and [...] at high school just like everyone else, but at the same time has to cope with the danger and that awaits her outside.
She spends an amount of time in the park, exposing her to gangs and finally takes the blame for Heather being attacked and almost killed. Sam can't decided if he loves the popular and beautiful Heather or the mysterious girl he met at the park, who also happens to be partly responsible for her girlfriend's attack. Heather can't seem to get over her first love, Ed during the passionate relationship with college cutie, Sam.
For the Fearless lovers, this is only a start. A book of violence about a perfect girl with a very messed up, dark life. It sounds fanscinating, but I must repeat, this book copes with violence and sex, A LOT. It is not a book for everyone.
Book Description
This new retelling of a favorite yarn from ancient Irish folklore features Finn MacCoul, a lovable but cowardly giant whose clever wife, Oonagh, uses a wee bit of fairy magic and a great helping of brains to help her husband outsmart the nasty Scottish bully who's after him. Her plan entails Finn masquerading as his own baby--a hilarious spoof that's sure to leave young readers giggling in their chairs while Finn wiggles in his cradle, nervously awaiting the showdown. Robert Byrd's shimmering, meticulously researched artwork stuns the eye with details even as it stretches perspective to bring readers into the giant's world. Each element of the breathtaking landscapes and interiors--costumes, customs, buildings, flora, and fauna--harks back authentically to the days of ancient Ireland. Generous notes at the back explain sources, pronunciations, and more. Humor abounds on every page, in word and picture, and the lilting read-aloud text makes this a lucky pick for story hour near St. Patrick's Day or anytime.

What a great book!Retold Irish Folklore accompanied by beautiful illustrations.Small glossary to help with the pronunciation of some Gaelic names.The story kept my 4 1/2 yr.old's attention (re-read many times), and made me laugh out loud. We loved it! My favorite line..."Finn overcame with wit and wisdom that which might never have been done by force." Words we should all live by!
Excellent way to teach children Irish Folklore!!!.......1999-08-04

Beautifully illustrated, outstanding story.......2007-06-23
My son is four and not yet a reader, but he loves being read to--and in the first 24 hours of having this book we've probably read it at least a dozen times. A better choice than some other early reader books--with word choices that are neither too simple nor too repetitive. The story is told in such an engaging manner that it opens avenues for discussion--my son offers how he would help or serves up editorial comments ("That's not good...."). The illustrations are clean, warm and so evocative that my son has joined in offering voices to accompany the illustrations. He will certainly choose this book when he begins to read himself. A wholesome, believable and true story--quite a combination.
a interesting story for learning readers........2004-03-11
For my son who is a learning reader, this was a fascinating story. This is another good one in the Pets to the Rescue series. It seems to be hard to find books to interest boys learning to read and this was another one that served as an enticement to get to sit down and read. Again the "true story" aspect was particularly interesting to him.

Worlds Apart: Fernie and Me
ASIN: 0399236155 |
Book Description
For Fernie and his best friend, the fun begins when they are babies who crawl across the lawn towards each other, away from their parents' watchful eyes. And once they find each other, they are inseparable.
Together, they grow to be the self-proclaimed artistic geniuses and master athletes of their school. But they do admit to being losers at spelling bees and camping out. And when it comes to romance, well, if waltzing with a broom in the kitchen or sporting glowing orange socks to a school dance counts, these guys are cool.
Gary Soto's original poems and Regan Dunnick's clever illustrations will spark recognition in all middle-schoolers who've gone through the humiliation of sports try-outs and first dances; who've had to deal with body images and swinging moods. Each of the poems in this book shows a scene from their sometimes difficult, sometimes comical lives growing up together as best friends. Even though they don't have everything in common, they both know that at least they're in it together.

good read, missing original characters though........2006-08-17
I've been a huge fan of the Fearless series every since I got the first book free with an Alloy order. I was really sad when I finished Gone. I don't really like how this new series starts when Gaia graduates college, because it doesn't really fill you in on what she did during her college time. And I really miss the original characters. I really hope Ed somehow comes back. There is a new romance, but Gaia and Ed are just right. But, it was a good read, just as fun and as has much wit as the original Fearless series. Fans will miss the original characters, though.
great!.......2006-07-22
such a great book series! i love everything she writes! definately give it a try and read it!
Just as good as the Fearless series.......2006-06-09
After reading and loving all the books in the original Fearless series I was worried that the Fearless FBI books would be a dissapointment. And although I wish a couple of the characters from the old series would make an appearance in this one, I still found it to be just as entertaining and fun as the original Fearless books. Looking forward to reading the rest....
Out to prove herself.......2005-11-26
In this series sequel to the orignial Fearless series, Gaia is now a college graduate. She is training to be an FBI agent.Gaia thinks the training will be easy, but is she wrong. She does well in the timed course, but not so well in the real life simulation. And to make training even harder, there's a cute boy intrested in her. And believe it or not he's a farm boy who is forcing her to give it her all. Instead of helping other people, she has to help herself. After messing up one too many times, Gaia gets kicked out. Using her own smarts, she gets back in on probation. She can only become a trainee again if she and her group can solve the murder in the reaistic simulation.
I liked this novel, but was disappointed that none of her friends from the oringinal series was in it. I reccomend it to preteen and teens.
An Agent Without Fear.......2005-11-23
A girl trained in 10 different martial arts joins the F.B.I... Gaia was recruited because she saved her Collage class from a guy that wanted to blow up the party. All in all Gaia should have no problems completing the courses they throw . After all she ditched class to beat up drug dealers, rapists, and gangsters in High School. The thing is Gaia has a problem. She has found out that the people she gets close to ends up missing or dead. When she finds out that she is put on a team with Will Taylor, Catherine Sanders, and Kim Lau can she help find the killer and become their friends?
I liked this book a lot because it is about a girl that is trying to get over the fact that she was born without fear. Gaia is also trying to find out what is missing in her live. It is fun to read how is trying to over come those things and still stay in the F.B.I.
I would recommend this book to a girl that likes action, adventures, and a main character that can beat up just about anyone. Also she is trying to over come things that girls our age are trying to over come too.
