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!
