Download or read book Irresistible written by Adam Alter and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Irresistible is a fascinating and much needed exploration of one of the most troubling phenomena of modern times.” —Malcolm Gladwell, author of New York Times bestsellers David and Goliath and Outliers “One of the most mesmerizing and important books I’ve read in quite some time. Alter brilliantly illuminates the new obsessions that are controlling our lives and offers the tools we need to rescue our businesses, our families, and our sanity.” —Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take Welcome to the age of behavioral addiction—an age in which half of the American population is addicted to at least one behavior. We obsess over our emails, Instagram likes, and Facebook feeds; we binge on TV episodes and YouTube videos; we work longer hours each year; and we spend an average of three hours each day using our smartphones. Half of us would rather suffer a broken bone than a broken phone, and Millennial kids spend so much time in front of screens that they struggle to interact with real, live humans. In this revolutionary book, Adam Alter, a professor of psychology and marketing at NYU, tracks the rise of behavioral addiction, and explains why so many of today's products are irresistible. Though these miraculous products melt the miles that separate people across the globe, their extraordinary and sometimes damaging magnetism is no accident. The companies that design these products tweak them over time until they become almost impossible to resist. By reverse engineering behavioral addiction, Alter explains how we can harness addictive products for the good—to improve how we communicate with each other, spend and save our money, and set boundaries between work and play—and how we can mitigate their most damaging effects on our well-being, and the health and happiness of our children. Adam Alter's previous book, Drunk Tank Pink: And Other Unexpected Forces that Shape How We Think, Feel, and Behave is available in paperback from Penguin.

Download or read book Training Your Girlfriend to Submit and Obey written by Ryan Hale and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making a girlfriend obey has several benefits. Training her can be a long road when your desired outcome is the perfect girl who does as she's told, who worships you with all of her love, and who would never cheat on you or think of doing anything that displeases you. Please don't think this book is a book for misogynistic male archetypes who seek only to control their universe and who have mommy issues. This book is for the 'real' man who knows his place, his girlfriend's place, and who wants the world to be playground. A true man showers his girlfriend with love when she obeys and submits to him and punishes her when she disobeys and gets out of line. There has to be law and order in every relationship. There has to be someone who is in control, who has the upper-hand, and, let me suggest, if it's not you (the man in the relationship), then it is probably her. You must learn to dominate and this means teaching her to submit. If you don't, you'll never have a truly satisfying relationship that is tighter than glue. This book is going to teach you techniques for making her obey and submit to you. It is going to provide you with a lot of sound practical advice and help you along this wonderful journey of training her to obey and submit. I want you to get excited, because a girl who obeys and does as she's told is a happy girl, one who loves you, one who truly cares about you and your happiness. This is what makes her happiest. If you have gone through a lot of relationships, had little luck with girls, then this book will be eye-opening and refreshing for you because you'll finally learn what you've been doing wrong and how to correct it. You will be correcting yourself by learning how to correct her. A girl who obeys you and who is submissive is the perfect girlfriend, isn't she (?), since a girl who doesn't is bitchy and controlling and constantly a problem for you. I welcome you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most dating books are written for women -- what a mistake that is. Women know how to date . . . It's men who need the help! At last: a blithe, bold, and bawdy guide to building a better boyfriend At some point, every guy -- player, geek, mama's boy, "regular Joe" -- meets a woman who makes him want to be a boyfriend. A good boyfriend. Problem is, unless he's had some first-rate training (by a previous girlfriend, a sister, a mom), he probably doesn't even know what that means. Felicity Huffman and Patricia Wolff come to the rescue with a rollicking -- and whip-smart -- handbook to navigating the minefield of male-female relationships. Directed at men (though of course it's women who'll buy it, then leave it at their boyfriend's place -- accidentally on purpose), A Practical Handbook for the Boyfriend lays out the many steps involved in becoming a good boyfriend, while still maintaining guy-dignity. It covers issues like: Who decides when you become a boyfriend (answer: She does.) How to look like you're listening, even when you're not (If you're busted, just say "You're so pretty, I'm distracted.") Ten things never to say on the first date (#4: "I just did that to freak you out.") Finding the middle ground between too cool (think third grade) and too eager (think surprise visits) Why becoming a good boyfriend is a lot like training for the A team Filled with humor, ribaldry, common sense, and assorted outdoor skills, A Practical Handbook for the Boyfriend is the next dating guide to dominate the bestseller lists.
