Dont Bet On It

When we dream of princes, we wake up with toads. What's a woman to do when one Prince Charming after another turns out to be a frog? According to Dr. Gilda Carle, women should never bestow "princely" expectations on men because it leaves men in control of-- and women in denial about-- the fundamental nature of the relationship. Often in their desire to be swept away and protected, women fail to cultivate their own internal strength. In order to succeed in love, women need to establish their own personal power, project it, and attract partners who respect it and reflect it. A woman's primary love should be the love she gives herself-- because, ultimately, how she treats herself sends a message about how she expects others to treat her. Dr. Gilda shows you how you can find a worthy mate by using her five key tenets: * Ask for what you need and believe you deserve to get * Project a Power Image * Give from the overflow, not from the core * Know how to receive * Enjoy being alone With a colorful assortment of case histories, insightful Self-Assessments, memorable Gilda-Grams, and plenty of humor to illustrate her practical and proven advice, Dr. Gilda reveals how to achieve a self-made version of happily-ever-after.
