Story
When you let go, you live intuitively. Everything flows, because you are no longer attached to things being a certain way, to being a certain person or always being right. What a relief. The irony is that when you feel stuck in any area of your life - career, relationships, purpose, health or money - letting go can seem very hard. You cling on for dear life just at the moment you need to take the leap. In The Power of Letting Go, John Purkiss explains why we should let go and how we can do it, using proven techniques to make things happen.

The sad truth is that when it comes to modern dating, there are a whole host of challenges and hurdles to overcome. This is not a dating book that promises to find you a person to love; it will help you spot the troublesome ones before it is too late. It will help you to recognise that you possess spectacular buff ting energy and that it's perfectly possible to be contentedly single. It will empower you to use your voice and walk away if you spot warning signs in relationships, by highlighting the red flags, as well as the green flags, and signs that indicate a healthy partnership.

Although clinical research has been conducted on narcissism as a disorder, less is known about its effects on victims who are in toxic relationships with partners with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Individuals with this disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as "narcissistic abuse". Unfortunately, the full extent of what narcissistic abuse entails is not taught in any psychology class or diagnostic manual.

Summary
In How to Spot a Dangerous Man Before You Get Involved, Sandra L. Brown, MA, describes eight types of dangerous men, their specific traits, and characteristics. She explores victim's stories that tell how they came in contact with each type of dangerous man and their outcome. Brown then presents how to develop a defense strategy - how to spot, avoid, or rid themselves of this type of dangerous man. Brown explains women's innate "red flag" systems - how they work to signal impending danger, and why many women learn to ignore them. With red flags in hand, Brown then guides the listeners through their own personal experiences to develop a personalized "Do Not Date" list. With these tools, Brown shows women how they can spot and avoid patterns of engagement with dangerous men.

Be Equipped
This is a book that I believe every woman and man should read before entering into the dating game. It will save a lot of headache. As dangerous men exists so those dangerous women. Ignorance and naïveté is not a virtue but a handicap. Sandra Brown did a brilliant job here in this book outlining some of the red flags to look out for. As much as we prefer for the world to be a perfect place with perfect people, it is not and knowledge will help us navigate some otherwise tricky terrain. Some of us grew up green and wet around the ears and while it is good to be protected, it is also necessary to be equipped. This book serves as one of the arsenals in the emotional equipment storage.

A must for all, not just DA survivors!
If you're looking for a book to about not making the same mistakes after surviving an abusive or toxic relationship, I cannot recommend this one enough!
Incredibly powerful and compelling audiobook that details the patterns and behaviours of both dangerous men (don't assume that physical abusers are the only type!!!) and the women at risk of fall for them.
This audiobook has empowered me to recognise red flags before they snowball and also given a lot of food for thought about recognising my own behaviours and core beliefs that put me at risk.
Gonna recommend this book to woman in my life.Thank you!!

A Must Read for ALL women
the reader's voice is monotone throughout with no real inflrcionbut I think she had to be due to the series divussionn. I thought I detected a victim mentality promotion at the beginning but she straightened out the misconception at the end. The information is absolutely necessary and should be mandatory for all women before we make/ or fall for these mistakes. This is one of the best Self-Help books I've listened to Ever. I will b gifting it to a few family members and friend that I think need the message and are open to receiving it. I'm going in again...its more than a one time listen. Oh, I feel so empowered just listen to this book. now I have to act on the lessons learned. I am in a relationship trying 2 get OUT and Now that I've identified hi I will act accordingly. God Blessin

I read the reviews about the monotone, robotic narrator, and was worried about it, but I disagree with them. The narration sounds just fine. Read this book!
