Men are Easy is being honored with the winning finalist award in the Self Help/Relationship category of the National Best Book 2007 Awards. Author Lynn Rasmussen is thrilled that the new concepts in Men are Easy promoting more satisfying and easier relationships are being heard.
Men Are Easy is a groundbreaking relationship handbook for intelligent, creative people with rapidly-changing, modern lives. The book offers a new framework for love and life based on simple ideas from new science. The book says that when women get the basics of everyday life straight, then they think straight, feel better, and love flows.
"Love is simpler and relationships are more fun than you've been led to believe," says Rasmussen, "Too many beautiful, smart, and funny women have been taught that relationships take hard work and change is difficult, but it just isn't true is today's world."
Author Lynn Rasmussen, whose advice has been featured in Cosmopolitan, match.com, and over 50 radio and television shows across the country, shows women how to leave the behind the psycho-babble of the past and make their relationships effortless.
While most experts tell women that they have to work at relationships, Men Are Easy explains how love is not work and that it's not something that can be earned. Rasmussen says we live in a world with antiquated thinking about relationships. By offering simple solutions to complex problems, her revolutionary approach to love and relationships reduces stress and simplifies life.
Most advice from relationship experts is based on psychology, not the practicalities of everyday life, Rasmussen says. "Psychology fails to look at our lives as wholes," she says. "It focuses on a piece of life, not our whole self and how it all relates together."
"Too many of us are in over our heads because traditional roles and rules have evaporated and there's nothing to take their place," says Rasmussen, "Now we have to figure out everything from who's going to do the dishes to who's going to make the money."
Rasmussen says our parents can't show us how. We're learning it the hard, painful way--by feel and by trial and error. Even the most loving couples fall apart in the mess.
Rasmussen says:
Often the problem is not you or your relationship. The problem is a poorly designed life. Life requires continual revision. Give yourself, and everyone else, a break. In only a few steps you can shift from being a victim of circumstances to becoming a designer of your life-and men can relate to it.
Instead:
- Take care of yourself first
- Get curious instead of angry
- Recognize and get your basic needs met
- Tune into and align with your values.
- Think and respond more clearly
- Open up to and play with possibility
- Design a life that works
Whether a woman's thinking about committing to that special guy or someone who's been married for decades, this book shows how love with a man can be spontaneous, strong, sexy, -- and easy.
