The Hoffman Process
A must-read for those serious about engaging in long-term transition! This is the work on which much of Marni’s philosophy is based.
For more than 35 years, the Hoffman Process has been recognized as one of the most potent transformational processes; however, the 8-day residential program is out of reach for most people. Now, Tim Laurence reveals this powerful methodology with warmth and clarity. Using practical exercises, personal stories, case histories, and insightful commentary, Laurence skillfully teaches how to identify and resolve the inherited patterns of behavior that cause emotional and spiritual pain. In this book readers will learn powerful ways to:
Break the compulsive patterns that run your life, exercise your own free will, and regain control of your thoughts and behavior
Free up energy by releasing your pent-up resentments and directly experience your own spirituality
Identify what you really want in life, and finally make the changes you have been putting off for years
The Hoffman Process is endorsed by an extraordinary array of experts and leaders from all walks of life, and it includes the results of a grant research study proving the long-term effectiveness of the Process.
Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man
As a popular comedian, radio host and red-blooded male, Harvey doesn’t have the bona fides typical to most women’s relationship self-help, but he still manages a thorough, witty guide to the modern man. Harvey undertakes the tast because “Women are clueless about men,” because “Men get away with a whole lot of stuff” and because he has “some valuable information to change all of that.” Harvey makes a game effort, taking a bold but familiar men-are-dogs approach: if you’re “cutting back” on sex, “he will have another woman lined up and waiting to give him what he needs and wants–the cookie.” Several chapters later, however, he introduces the “ninety-day rule,” asserting that, actually, he won’t always have another woman lined up–and the only way to makes sure is a three-month vetting period. Harvey also tackles mama’s boys, “independent–and lonely–women,” and the matter of children in the dating world (“If he’s meeting the kids after you decide he’s the one, it’s too late”). Feminists and the easily offended probably won’t take to Harvey’s blanket statements and blunt advice, but Harvey’s fans and those in need of tough (but ticklish) love advice should check it out (especially the hysterical last-chapter Q&A).

Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man
For women who seem to make the same romance mistakes again and again, psychologist Callahan, a media presence and resident psychologist on reality TV show Queen Bees, offers a way of diagnosing and defusing dating self-sabotage. When it comes to men, most women know their type, but Callahan believes it’s more useful to know your own type-or, more specifically, your mistype, as the ten personality profiles that follow all identify habits that keep you from expressing your true identity. These include Ms. Second Place, who tends to settle for less; Ms. Anaconda, the smothering type; and Ms. Bag Lady, still smarting over past relationships. A quiz helps readers find their match, and anecdotal evidence gleaned from patients demonstrate how these types work in the real world, where they fail, how they hold you back, and what may have caused the condition. Helpful tips for a “Ms. Typed Makeover” are encouraging and wise, though Callahan’s concept can get in the way of clarity; “type” and “mistype” seem to be used interchangeably, and often.
