What do you do when your marriage is so unhappy that you begin to fantasize about your husband's funeral? That's how bad it got for Alisa Bowman. . . So she launched a last-ditch effort to save her marriage. Project: Happily Ever After is her fearlessly honest and humorous account of how she went from being a "divorce daydreamer" to renewing her wedding vows -- and all of the steps in between.

Equal parts funny, poignant, and most importantly, useful, Bowman's story will give other miserably-married folks courage and hope. And in addition to telling her own story, she packs straightforward prescriptive guidance, including a "10-Step Marital Improvement Guide." Readers will laugh. They'll cry. And they can start on the road toward their own happy ending!

Hi I am Carlos Bernard... I have worked within the High Tech Industry as a Quality and Operations expert for the majority of my life. I specialize in fostering and developing customer relationships. I have worked with Fortune 500 companies whose revenues are in the billions. I have come to find a simple truth about relationships. Whether it's for customers that are building multi-billion dollar communications infrastructure or simply selling tomatoes. People like doing business with people they like. Customers develop strong relationships with companies that respect them and most importantly have a concern for their success. Successful companies don't sell products; they sell solutions. The sweet spot is to become a consultant and advisor rather than becoming a supplier. Take a look at the major malls across the world. There is a dominant high tech player that showcases their products where you can interact with them. It also has tons of employees who are on site to assist you with any questions that you may have about their products. They are eager to help you and don't disrespect you should you not be tech savvy. I have always walked away with a very positive experience when working with their employees. I feel like they really care about me and want me to succeed. I in turn reward them with money, by purchasing their products. You can probably guess who they are. So how does success in the business world lead to success in your interpersonal relationships? They both share a common characteristic; they both deal with people. If you want to be successful in business you have be good with people. If you want to have a successful relationship you need to be in the people business with your man I have gone through the multiple books out there that provide you with simple easy steps on how to fix or flip something in someone else. I find these types of strategies interesting. We all know that true change comes from within, and that you have the power to influence your environment on how you perceive the world around you. And I'm here to tell you that there's no easy way or magical recipe to fix or strengthen your relationship. Relationships are hard and complex. They take time to build up and they have a life of their own. And most importantly they need maintenance. So what are we to do if there is no simple fix? We can look for a tool that will assist us and strengthen us in our journey to build and maintain your relationship. There is tool that you can harness that is time tested and centuries old. It has helped build empires and toppled governments. There is power in your words. The bible speaks of the power of your words; words can choose life or death. Recall the old saying sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Words have the power to scar people for life or have the power to uplift someone's soul. What you'll discover in this remarkable book is the ability to build up your man by using respect, love and gentleness. He will come to realize that you are just more than someone he shares things with, but as powerful ally that will help him become a better person. The change that is needed is not from him but from you. You will come to understand the struggles that men face and come to appreciate their deep desire to provide and please you. The secret on changing your perspective and how he reacts to your words of encouragement and praise can all be summed up with learning how to treat your man better than your own dog. Getting the best out of your man is not that far removed from getting the best out of your dog. You want Love, Romance, and your Soul Mate. Your man wants to be Respected and Successful. My desire is that this book will strengthen an already strong relationship and help those who want more from their man. I pray that you become the instrument of change for your man. All of this for less than a good cup of coffee.

Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Through a Dog’s Eyes—the inspiration for the PBS documentary—a paradigm-shifting approach to living with and loving our dogs There are few people who understand dogs better than Jennifer Arnold. Twenty-five years after she founded Canine Assistants, a nationally recognized nonprofit that raises and provides service dogs for people with disabilities, Arnold had an epiphany. She’d always approached the education of dogs with kindness and compassion—eschewing the faux science of fear and domination-based training methods. And she’d always understood dogs to be uniquely, uncannily attuned to their human companions; in fact she depended on it—she knew that the bond that developed between a person and their service dog was the single greatest predictor of that partnership’s success and, conversely, failure to bond brought about anxiety and distress in dogs. But it wasn’t until recent scientific findings confirmed her hands-on experience with dogs’ intuitive social skills that she was willing to put this bold idea to the test: Dogs who bond with us completely and unconditionally will seek to please us and, with minimal cues, can learn to make remarkably sophisticated decisions about their own behavior. Sure, dogs can be taught commands such as “sit,” “stay,” and “heel,” but even the kindest reward and punishment models were merely manipulating dogs’ behavior, rather than unleashing their unique social genius and innate ability to navigate the world. In this groundbreaking, persuasive, and heartfelt book, Arnold shows us how every dog—no matter their age—can thrive through Bond-Based Choice Teaching. Her proprietary method has been hailed by leading canine behavioral scientists and is being adopted by notable dog trainers, advocates, humane societies, and puppies behind bars programs across the country. For this liberating, revolutionary method to succeed, Arnold says, love really is all you need. Advance praise for Love Is All You Need “Jennifer Arnold, who has trained service dogs for the past twenty years for people with physical disabilities, offers a window into the world of ‘man’s best friend.’ Arnold, who believes that dogs are attuned to their owner’s needs and emotions, shares tips she thinks every dog owner should know.”—ABC News “[Arnold] takes pride in facilitating the powerful relationship between every service dog and its owner—a bond that is as much about companionship and comfort as it is about health and safety.”—Everyday Health “Within the world of dogs and canine behavior there are only a handful of people who truly ‘move the needle’ when it comes to innovation, novel approaches, and intuitive thinking—Jennifer Arnold is one of those rare few. Constantly pushing boundaries of traditional thought, she not only provides fresh perspectives about how we interact with and learn from man’s best friend, she fearlessly forges new paths that stimulate and engage dog lovers as well as behavior experts and explores possibilities which previously may have seemed out of reach.”—Victoria Stilwell, star of Animal Planet’s It’s Me or the Dog and CEO of Victoria Stilwell Positively Dog Training

Yes, humans and canines are different species, but current research provides fascinating, irrefutable evidence that what we share with our dogs is greater than how we vary. As behaviorist and zoologist Dr. Patricia McConnell tells us in this remarkable new book about emotions in dogs and in people, more and more scientists accept the premise that dogs have rich emotional lives, exhibiting a wide range of feelings including fear, anger, surprise, sadness, and love. In For the Love of a Dog, McConnell suggests that one of the reasons we love dogs so much is that they express emotions in ways similar to humans. After all, who can communicate joy better than a puppy? But not all emotional expressions are obvious, and McConnell teaches both beginning dog owners and experienced dog lovers how to read the more subtle expressions hidden behind fuzzy faces and floppy ears. For those of us who deeply cherish our dogs but are sometimes baffled by their behavior, For the Love of a Dog will come as a revelation–a treasure trove of useful facts, informed speculation, and intriguing accounts of man’s best friend at his worst and at his very best. Readers will discover how fear, anger, and happiness underlie the lives of both people and dogs and, most important, how understanding emotion in both species can improve the relationship between them. Thus McConnell introduces us to the possibility of a richer, more rewarding relationship with our dogs. While we may never be absolutely certain what our dogs are feeling, with the help of this riveting book we can understand more than we ever thought possible. Those who consider their dogs part of the family will find For the Love of a Dog engaging, enlightening, and utterly engrossing.
