Download or read book Love Sex and Romance written by Sergio Garcia and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We spend so much time worrying about the little things in life, money, objects, bills, insignificant things really. We give these things much more importance than they deserve because these things are so truly trivial when compared to the significant things in life like love, health, family, and friends. We allow these trivial things to constantly overwhelm us and worry us sick. We always wish for the future, as opposed to rejoicing in the present and appreciating life for what it truly is, a gift, an opportunity to love and to be loved and by doing so opening our eyes to a truly beautiful reality, a reality we fail to see without love. We fail to see the true beauty of life, the beauty of a brand new morning, the beauty of a butterfly resting in a rose, or the sweet melodies the bird sing. Instead, we focus on the petty things, and by so doing we keep ourselves from achieving the true happiness we seek. Time and time again I have encountered unhappiness in life and particularily in relationships. People do not understand why their relationships are not going in the right direction. People wonder why they are not as happy as they wish they could be, and usually the reason for this is not an insurmountable one. This unhappiness is mostly caused by a lack of communication, lack of trust, lack of honesty, lack of attention or understanding. Sometimes a combination of these prevents us from achieving true happiness, but they can be overcome, and with my help and your willingness to change, you will achieve just that. These problems, unfortunately, are very common, but there is a solution, a simple solution I want to share with you. I want to change the status quo by providing you with the tools you will need to overcome these problems. I want to provide you with the tools you need to more successfully approach your love interest, to better deal with your significant other, and to even improve your marriage and everyday life. I will show you how to communicate, appreciate, and better understand your partner; above all, I will help you love again. The reason behind this book being written is the beautiful feeling one feels as soon as one falls in love, a feeling that should never disappear. It should evolve and become more objective, but no less beautiful; the flame of love should never vanish. The honeymoon period, whether you are married or have just entered into your first relationship, should not fade and pass; it should just transform and it can! It will require a little effort and awareness of each other's preferences, but remember all worthwhile endeavors do. The origin of this book then rests in the predominant lack of understanding between the sexes, in the predominant complaint, "My boyfriend pays more attention to his car than to me," as well as "My wife is always nagging; no matter what I do, she's never happy." The origin of this book is due to the strong belief that I can change that, that I can provide you, the reader, with a happy medium. I strongly believe that I can show you how to meet halfway, and become a happier person and a happier couple in the process. I believe that I can help change those statements to something more positive. I believe I can change those statements to something like: "my boyfriend enjoys spending time working on his car, but he loves me; I'm the most important thing in his life" or "my wife is the greatest - she knows how much I love her, and she knows any opportunity I get I want to be with her because I'm the most important person in her life." Myabe you noticed the use of "thing" and "person" and that is a purposeful mistake, as you will soon learn.

Book excerpt: The Instant New York Times Bestseller and TikTok Sensation! As seen on THE VIEW! A BuzzFeed Best Summer Read of 2021 When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos. As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships--but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees. That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor--and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs. Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.
