Make Everyone Want You
This book is not about dating or your relationship with your significant other — actually, that's just the fun & sexy title to get you to read the book. Really, Marie Forleo's book, "Make Every Man Want You (or Make Yours Want You More): How to Be So Damn Irresistible You'll Barely Keep From Dating Yourself!" is a self-improvement book about how to clean up your junk & enjoy your life, regardless of who else is living it with you. The idea is that once you love your life & are enjoying yourself, everyone (including potential mates, clients, friends) will find you irresistible.
I would have never picked this book up (since I'm married) except that Marie and I are in a mastermind group together. But I am SO GLAD that I bought and read her book, because I immediately put into practice & changed some little but major things in my life that have already improved my happiness and my relationship with my husband.
The #1 lesson I put into practice: "Life Is Now, This Is It." My husband and I have been planning to sell our house and move for ages. So I let it go — clutter filled out house, stuff was broken, because it was like, what's the point? We are going to sell anyway. So we lived in a house we hated. For years.
Right after I finished the book I spent an hour or two cleaning up the front yard & porch — got rid of a dead bush & junky college-like plastic furniture, and bought 3 new plants & pots for the porch. Wow. What a transformation. Then I de-cluttered the living room & kitchen, got a handyman service to spend 2 hours fixing broken stuff, took 2 loads to charity, and started spending 15 minutes a day just tidying the house.
Having a nice place to hang out w/ my husband has improved my marriage & de-stressed my life — and reduced my level of frustration because I live in a peaceful environment.
If you just want a few "rules" to follow to trick a man to love you, don't read this book. But if you want to learn how to have an amazing life (with or without a sig other), check out Marie's book!
