Product Description

The new expanded edition of "HOW TO SUCCEED WITH WOMEN" adds another 5 years of research and feedback from readers to the decades of research behind the first edition. The success principles are now developed at greater length, dialogue from singles' coaching has been added, the exercises are done in sample format and special success issues (the shy man, the intellectual man and more) are treated. The author devoted more than 15 years to the single lifestyle industry and over 20 to psychiatric research in search of how men succeed. His findings are new insights and highly effective skills for men who wish to succeed -- now presented in greater detail in the new, expanded edition.

HOW TO SUCCEED WITH WOMEN tells men what it is in their makeup that women are looking for. It shows men how to make it obvious to the women they wish to connect with. This is a major advance past what is already known about female psychology. The book uses exercises -- at the end of most chapters -- to work the material into the reader and make him ready to live the material that creates success. The exercises are an enjoyable mix of neurolinguistic programming and visualization, crafted to awaken the reader to his winning ways.

This book is rich in fresh material on both the male and the female. Its chapter by chapter rehearsals of the things that work return the reader to life ready to succeed. It is written to bring effective new knowledge and skill to the reader in a way that feels easy and natural.

HOW TO SUCCEED WITH WOMEN has earned Playboy's Critic's Choice rating and has been in the most prominent catalogs, bookstores and websites (331 pages, laminated cover).

From the Author

What a surprise it was to learn that readers want to hear about real life work with single men! At first I thought readers wanted to hear more about the basic material and then I got their message: give more examples of how men use the material to create success with women. I worked hard to expand "How To Succeed With Women" by adding dialogue from work with singles and other clients. I think the idea of doing the exercises in a sample format for the reader is a good one. Now readers can spend more time benefiting from the exercises without having to pause and think about how to do them.

The big surprise for most readers is that the genders are more alike than different. The real differences between male and female are important for success -- this is a point I emphasize more in the second edition than the first. The other large surprise for most men is that they already are what women want. The distance from just wishing to actually succeeding is in learning how to offer women what they already see in men.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book didn't provide much insight., July 8, 2003

By A Customer

I do not reccomend this book by Baldalamenti. I have read and been collecting self-help books on dating/sex for a couple of years now and I have a number of good ones (and dozens of bad ones!) Instead of this book, get "How to Succeed with Women" by Copeland and Louis. They offer practical advice in their book that this one lacks. Beware that you might confuse the two books because of the similar titles.

3.0 out of 5 stars Males and Females: Celebrating the Differences, August 5, 2007

By	Jan Peczkis "Scholar and Thinker" (Chicago IL, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Some of the content of this book is quite abstract, but some is practical. Badalamenti points out that men and women have more in common than they have different between them. Yet it is the differences that attract men and women to each other.

Women want to be discovered gradually, and for this reason a male should be persistent as he gets to know a woman. A woman wants to sense that she is valued, and that the man is her champion.

Dancing is a very effective way for a man to reach into the heart of a woman (pp. 49-51, 226, 278, 297-301, etc.). And women love playfulness in men.

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest insight, February 12, 2002

By	mark bednarski (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

I bought this book back in November of 2001 and have applied the concepts and methodologies with great success. I have found that the author possesses insight that not only accounts for what is on the surface of what women say and do but also what is underneath and the deeper meaning, which is really what, matters most. I have been in touch with the author and have consulted him personally on various issues and I am amazed with the high level of insight and accuracy that he has offered me, even based on limited information. With his consulting and attention to specific situations and insight, I succeeded in areas with women where I otherwise would not have.
