Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IF YOU KISS A FROG, HE JUST MIGHT TURN INTO A PRINCE. IF YOU KISS A TOAD, HE'LL JUST PEE ON YOUR HAND. This is the book emotionally abusive partners do NOT want you to read. It sounds so simple -- get out of a harsh relationship, remove the shrapnel, and move on. But some guys don't make that possible. Sometimes you get out of the relationship, like with a narcissist, but you can't recover because he doesn't give you a chance. He won't leave you alone long enough. Alexandra Nouri knows that personality-disordered people, psychopaths, sociopaths, and their ilk, in fact make leaving as difficult as possible. Getting out of a relationship with a narcissist is excruciating, but staying out of one takes the resolve of an Army. A narcissist is constantly pushing and pulling, devaluing you and everything about you, sucking you back in and making you believe the two of you have a chance, and basically pushing some very tender buttons, all in a big fat confusing and chaotic mess. When a relationship is ending, feeling hurt and angry is normal, but if you feel like you're losing your mind, like your very survival is being threatened, then this book is written with you in mind. Those feelings mean he's messing with your head. And that's not cool. "Life," Aunt Alex says, "is uncertain, and mysterious. However, when it comes to life, you can count on three things. The sun will always rise in the East. If you hold up a cast iron frying pan and then let it go, it will not hover in the air and make a tweety sound. And if you go back to a guy with a personality disorder, he WILL hurt you again." Their breakups are all the same. Idealize, devalue, annihilate, string along, devalue, string along, annihilate, string along. The toad modus operandi gets very old and very boring, very fast. When he manipulates, deceives, and encroaches on your boundaries, that's not a power struggle. Or an argument. That's abuse. Aunt Alex's Army is the answer. The Army will brief you, train you, and give you your marching orders to a toad-free life. This is Aunt Alex's Army Manual, and here she musters the troops to lift up and empower the reader. You'll learn: * Who Toads Are * Who Kisses Them * Why Moving Forward Takes An Army * The Three Toad Truths * The Five Toad Motivators for Getting Into Relationships * What Toadspeak is, and Why It Drives People Crazy * What To Do About It * Your Psyche's Information Highway, and How to Pave New Roads to Health * The Five Army Maneuvers In Reality * Why It's Mandatory to Be All You Can Be There's nothing wrong with believing in epic love. There's just something wrong with expecting to get it from a narcissist. "You lost him because you're not good enough" is the #1 most toxic, worthless lie an ex sometimes hears from the toad, from other people, and even the gremlins inside her head. These are lies a toad wants you to believe -- that the reason you two aren't together right now in utter bliss is because you're not good enough. Not attractive enough, not interesting enough, not smart, happy, compatible, sexy, open, fun enough, doesn't matter: He wants you to believe the reason you two aren't working out is because of a serious shortcoming in YOU. Usually this is very vague, with hints and shrugging dissatisfaction. And he's really hoping this vagueness takes the focus off of the real causes of all the destruction: His absence of empathy. In the book Toads, and the Women Who Kiss Them Aunt Alex's Army Manual, Alexandra Nouri gives legions of examples of their confusing, bizarre ways, and straightens them out for you. She supports you in your new quiet disregard for BS, and helps you rise above the chaos and neurosis of his weird behavior. She translates the Toadspeak. She teaches you how to remove the shrapnel of his abuse so your broken heart can heal. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Futures Without Violence Fund.

The book's question-and-answer format makes it easy to pick up, turn to any page, and immediately become drawn into the intricacies of anatomy and physiology while gaining a better understanding of the human need to know more about ourselves.

A BEST BOOK PICK BY * HARPER’​S BAZAAR * ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY “The Charm Offensive will sweep you off your feet.” —PopSugar ​​​​In this witty and heartwarming romantic comedy—reminiscent of Red, White & Royal Blue and One to Watch—an awkward tech wunderkind on a reality dating show goes off-script when sparks fly with his producer. Dev Deshpande has always believed in fairy tales. So it’s no wonder then that he’s spent his career crafting them on the long-running reality dating show Ever After. As the most successful producer in the franchise’s history, Dev always scripts the perfect love story for his contestants, even as his own love life crashes and burns. But then the show casts disgraced tech wunderkind Charlie Winshaw as its star. Charlie is far from the romantic Prince Charming Ever After expects. He doesn’t believe in true love, and only agreed to the show as a last-ditch effort to rehabilitate his image. In front of the cameras, he’s a stiff, anxious mess with no idea how to date twenty women on national television. Behind the scenes, he’s cold, awkward, and emotionally closed-off. As Dev fights to get Charlie to connect with the contestants on a whirlwind, worldwide tour, they begin to open up to each other, and Charlie realizes he has better chemistry with Dev than with any of his female co-stars. But even reality TV has a script, and in order to find to happily ever after, they’ll have to reconsider whose love story gets told.

Download or read book The Annotated Hans Christian Andersen The Annotated Books written by Hans Christian Andersen and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2007-11-17 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A richly entertaining and informative collection of Hans Christian Andersen's stories, annotated by one of America's leading folklore scholars. In her most ambitious annotated work to date, Maria Tatar celebrates the stories told by Denmark's "perfect wizard" and re-envisions Hans Christian Andersen as a writer who casts his spell on both children and adults. Andersen's most beloved tales, such as "The Emperor's New Clothes," "The Ugly Duckling," and "The Little Mermaid," are now joined by "The Shadow" and "Story of a Mother," mature stories that reveal his literary range and depth. Tatar captures the tales' unrivaled dramatic and visual power, showing exactly how Andersen became one of the world's ten most translated authors, along with Shakespeare, Dickens, and Marx. Lushly illustrated with more than one hundred fifty rare images, many in full color, by artists such as Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac, The Annotated Hans Christian Andersen will captivate readers with annotations that explore the rich social and cultural dimensions of the nineteenth century and construct a compelling portrait of a writer whose stories still fascinate us today.
