"How to be an Attractive Man" is a book for men of any age who are searching for effective ways to look and feel better. 101 tips have been divided into seven sections, applying respectively to face, body, personality, mind, clothing, hygiene & grooming and living habits.Some time ago, being a perfectly ordinary-looking guy, I was searching for methods to improve my appearance and found an ocean of ideas, tricks, tips and advice, some obstreperous, some easy, some ridiculous, some brilliant. And some even depended on quasi-psychological ways to influence other people's minds, which is complete nonsense. That search gave me food for thought, which in turn persuaded me to write this guide, because I wanted to select the methods that are the simplest, most effective, and depend entirely on you.When you want someone to become interested in you, you usually think how to make her (or him) find you attractive. That is, you start thinking how to deal with the way they see you, and that approach is - and will always be - wrong. That's why this is not a handbook on how to deal with people, but a guide on how to deal with yourself. The only way for others to find you attractive is to become so. This is a book which aims to show you how to achieve that.

The life of being a teenager is already challenging but when at a young age you lose your brother to Leukemia it truly shifts your world. For this teenager losing her brother was the domino that fell and changed her life. A story that deals with the concept of perfectionism and how her parents shifted their thought pattern when her little brother died to her being everything that she can be and more. Sitting in her health class as her teacher talks about mental health and everyone is ignoring her, she begins to flip through the health book realizing that the changes she has been going through were breaking her mental health. Her parents seemed to be judging her on everything from her clothes being the best to her looks, grades, not allowing her to play sports because they didn't want her to get hurt. So many things in her life changed when her brother died, and she felt herself breaking under this pressure that until this day she couldn't quite put into words. Now her weight loss, inability to sleep, wanting to disappear, working to smile in public while privately hating herself all made sense. Like in any situation she had to find the words to ask for help. With the assistance of her teacher, she is directed to the school counselor who brings her parents in and as a family they begin to address her mental health, saving her life. This is a story of a mental health struggle that she didn't know she had until someone randomly presented her situation in a health book. Sometimes we need help and don't know it, don't ask for it and don't know how to climb out of the dark whole alone. But the lesson is always a simple one, there is always someone ready to help you, just find the courage to ask. *Story may be adjusted to fit any gender performer. Authors permission is given.

The Mom Test is a quick, practical guide that will save you time, money, and heartbreak. They say you shouldn't ask your mom whether your business is a good idea, because she loves you and will lie to you. This is technically true, but it misses the point. You shouldn't ask anyone if your business is a good idea. It's a bad question and everyone will lie to you at least a little . As a matter of fact, it's not their responsibility to tell you the truth. It's your responsibility to find it and it's worth doing right . Talking to customers is one of the foundational skills of both Customer Development and Lean Startup. We all know we're supposed to do it, but nobody seems willing to admit that it's easy to screw up and hard to do right. This book is going to show you how customer conversations go wrong and how you can do better.
