Story
While literacy is taken for granted in modern society, there’s another essential aspect of communication that is often overlooked: social intelligence. Without it, our personal and professional relationships suffer shallowness and often fizzle out. Networking, romance, and friendships are all incredibly challenging without a healthy level of social awareness. Unlike learning to read, however, many of us don’t become socially “literate” until far later in life; and even then, the journey towards true social intelligence is usually characterized by trial and error.

Ditch your teen anxieties to become the best version of yourself and face the future with confidence and excitement! It’s hard to be a teenager.

So many other things make your teen years painful–falling in love and not being loved back, feeling you’re not good enough, being awkward when what you really want is to be the coolest kid in the room….

What keeps most people from success is not their lack of skills or ability, but other factors that can create obstacles that prevent you from reaching your fullest potential: Procrastination, low self-esteem, toxic thinking, and negative situations among many other factors can have a major impact on how well we progress and achieve in life. Perfectionism is another obstacle that can stand in the way of moving forward, while failure and imperfections can help us lead a path to a lot more success than imagined.

Why have history's greatest minds - from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson along with today's top performers, from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities - embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers a daily devotional of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations.

Models is the first book ever written on seduction as an emotional process rather than a logical one, a process of connecting with women rather than impressing them. It's the most mature and honest guide on how a man can attract women without faking behavior, without lying and without emulating others. A game-changer.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

A necessary book for people with bad intentions!
his book deals a lot with how we allow people to take advantage of us and our time. I like the way the book reminds us that we can say NO to people which in terms my help us with our free time, choices in life and even our health. People will continue to take advantage of us, if we let them. Great core message and compilation. The expectations that other put on us can be debilitating.. So this books helps us take charge NOW.

Great Help
This book helped me become aware of how people were taking advantage of my kindness. After listening, I feel confident in my ability to no longer be a people pleaser. I am not worried about what people think of me and although I may lose some relationships to this new mindset, I know that I will strengthen valuable relationships and no longer have people take advantage of me.

I wish I read this when I was 16!
If you're someone who always aims to please or struggles to say no, you've gotta read/listen to this book. Most people pleasers know they're in that category and can't stop. There's nothing inherently wrong with people pleasing until it starts to dictate your life and others stop respecting your boundaries. This book is like a roadmap to help people pleasers reset people's expectations and become more effective, assertive, and help them live a life on their terms.
One cool thing about this book is that it doesn't just talk the talk; it walks the walk. It's all about taking action to improve your emotional well-being. The part about emotional boundaries was so applicable to my life. I seriously wish a teenage version of me had been able to read this one chapter.
Even if you aren't ready to dive into the contents and fully embrace what the author is saying, this book is packed with awesome tips on how to stand up for yourself and reset expectations so you'll come away with lots of tools even if you just skim it.

Great for people-pleaser
I'm a people pleaser, always worried about what others think. I'm really grateful I got this book - it helped me see that I can set boundaries and still be kind. It shows how to be confident without being rude. I always thought you have to only be one or the other but that's a limiting belief this book has helped me overcome. I loved the tips about work and not letting others treat you badly. that's what troubles me the most. It's super helpful – now I know how to say no without feeling bad. And the best part is it's not just about work; it works in life too! This book is perfect in helping me become my own boss. If you want to feel strong and in control, you should totally check this out. Highly recommended!

Here's to taking back control of your Life
Through this book, I have realized the areas where I have disowned my happiness in order to make others happy or please them so they find favor in me.
It's all good to be that way, however, people tend to take it for granted that you would always be there for them in every nitty-gritty thing at the expense of your happiness and time. You tend to lose focus on living your own life, as I did too.
This book has helped me in so many areas of my life. I've been journaling more than I've journaled in the past few weeks since finishing this gem of a book. Thank you S.K. Johnson for your knowledge & wisdom!!!
