I bought this book yesterday and I've been reading and found it really insightful. It has been an eye-opening read for me.

It is available at Amazon.com for about $19.00.

I have to say from the title it sounds like an awful book so hopefully there is more to it then the title. Getting what we want at all costs, i.e. breaking the rules, hurting other people along the way, doesn't sound like a good life plan to me.

I would rather spend 5 minutes in Heaven than 5,000,000 centuries doing what I thought I wanted to do and where I thought I wanted to go.

Break the rules and get what you want...sounds like the anthem for adulterers..

I am very leary of these type books. It's often just a lost soul with a feminist agenda. These books seem from their title to fit that mold.

I wouldn't waste the time or money.

Kloe,

It is my fault not describing what this book is all about, so here is a synopsis:


This book is a guide to shattering the learned behavior of women everywhere outlines what keeps women from asserting themselves, describes the submissive body language that signals passivity, and shares effective strategies for women to pursue their desires.

I found this book very valuable in describing my own passive/fearful behaviour when dealing with my WH's EA. It does not condone selfish and destructive behaviour, even though the title may lead you to believe so.

I took the title as thinking outside the box. Not doing what everyone expects you to do. Be quiet, pull the covers up and turn a blind eye to things. Maybe breaking the rules means...sticking up for yourself. Making things, good things happen.
Don't walk all over me!
