Say No. Set Limits. Stop Bratty Behavior in Its Tracks. It's easy to fall into the 'entitlement trap.' You may find yourself so involved with your child's happiness that you lose sight of what your child really needs to make him or her a self-sufficient, well-balanced human being. Parenting expert and bestselling author Donna Corwin knows what that feels like—because she's been there herself. After years of struggling to give her daughter whatever she wanted, Corwin realized that instead of boosting her child's self-confidence and making her happy, her daughter was actually less equipped to handle adversity, exercise patience, or develop healthy life skills. Corwin soon realized that this needed to change and set about reversing the negative behaviors, and she did so with great success! Now in Give Me, Get Me, Buy Me, she gives you the means to do the same, with: • Self-evaluation tools to organize parenting priorities, set limits, and reward good behavior in a healthy way • Insightful case studies of parenting styles that create 'entitled' behavior, as well as ways to break the cycle • Compassionate guidance that allows you to evaluate your relationships with your parents and understand how they influence your parenting style • Ways to filter the negative messages that bombard your children from TV, the web, and peer pressure • Methods for creating a balanced family dialogue and for promoting core values regarding finances, chores, and manners It's never too late to begin creating the positive habits and behaviors that will give you back parental control. With Corwin's help, you'll soon be able to set consistent limits, build honest communication, and share the kind of love that will build your child's character and create a peaceful and stable home life.

Book Description
Today's brands face an apparent choice between two evils: continue betting on their increasingly ineffective advertising or put blind faith in the supposedly mystical power of social media, where "likes" stand in for transactions and a mass audience is maddeningly elusive. There has to be a better way . . . As Lennon and McCartney wrote a half century ago, money can't buy you love. But in today's world, where people have become desensitized-even disillusioned-by ad campaigns and marketing slogans, that maxim needs an update: Money can't even buy you like.

Book Description
That the Beatles were an unprecedented phenomenon is a given. In Can’t Buy Me Love, Jonathan Gould explains why, placing the Fab Four in the broad and tumultuous panorama of their time and place, rooting their story in the social context that girded both their rise and their demise. Nearly twenty years in the making, Can’t Buy Me Love is a masterful work of group biography, cultural history, and musical criticism. Beginning with their adolescence in Liverpool, Gould describes the seminal influences––from Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry to The Goon Show and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland––that shaped the Beatles both as individuals and as a group. In addition to chronicling their growth as singers, songwriters, and instrumentalists, he highlights the advances in recording technology that made their sound both possible and unique, as well as the developments in television and radio that lent an explosive force to their popular success. With a musician’s ear, Gould sensitively evokes the timeless appeal of the Lennon-McCartney collaboration and their emergence as one of the most creative and significant songwriting teams in history. Behind the scenes Gould explores the pivotal roles played by manager Brian Epstein and producer George Martin, credits the influence on the Beatles’ music of contemporaries like Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, and Ravi Shankar, and traces the gradual escalation of the fractious internal rivalries that led to the group’s breakup after their final masterpiece, Abbey Road. Most significantly, by chronicling their revolutionary impact on popular culture during the 1960s, Can’t Buy Me Love illuminates the Beatles as a charismatic phenomenon of international proportions, whose anarchic energy and unexpected import was derived from the historic shifts in fortune that transformed the relationship between Britain and America in the decades after World War II. From the Beats in America and the Angry Young Men in England to the shadow of the Profumo Affair and JFK’s assassination, Gould captures the pulse of a time that made the Beatles possible—and even necessary. As seen through the prism of the Beatles and their music, an entire generation’s experience comes astonishingly to life. Beautifully written, consistently insightful, and utterly original, Can’ t Buy Me Love is a landmark work about the Beatles, Britain, and America.

Book Description
In his bawdy and uproarious debut novel, Chris Kenry takes readers on a rollicking ride with an irreverent, resilient jack of all trades--and master of the naughtiest one. . . Buffed, Bereaved. . .And Broke Thanks to his wealthy, doting lover, Jack Thompson's biggest daily challenges are the Stairmaster® and deciding whether to read this week's issue of People before or after Entertainment Weekly. That changes with his smitten benefactor's sudden demise--and a decade-old will that naturally doesn't include Jack. Unceremoniously tossed out of their shared home with little more than his rollerblades, Jack wonders who will support him in the style to which he's become accustomed. He certainly can't. . .or can he? To Jack's dismay, his half-hearted stints as a terminally bored office temp and disastrously clumsy waiter barely cover the minimum payments on his maxed out credit cards, let alone sprees at Neiman Marcus and Sunday brunches with the boys. What's a homeless and unemployed shopaholic to do? Perhaps nothing more than what comes naturally. After all, with his perfect pecs and sculpted abs, he's one of the most sought-after guys in town. . . Though he stumbles into his newfound career running Harden Up, a male escort service, purely by accident, it doesn't take long for Jack to reap the financial rewards of all those workouts. Soon business is booming, especially after he teams up with dark and decadent fellow hustler Ray, who shares his resourceful spirit--among other things. Now they're making more money than they ever imagined--and falling for each other in the process. With everything going his way at last, Jack can't help wondering. . .can a pair of entrepreneurial escorts really live happily ever after in suburban Denver? "A rollicking debut. . .the author's talent for catchy, catty dialogue and innovative (and often quite humorous) sexual interplay buoys his storyline. . .Kenry shows promise with this first effort and his moxie shines through. . .a satisfying confection." --Publishers Weekly Former milkman, UPS driver, and teacher of English conversation to throngs of adoring Japanese housewives, Chris Kenry currently lives and paints houses in Denver.
