HOW TO MAKE SOMEONE LOVE YOU FOREVER! IN 90 MINUTES OR LESS

Ignore the goofy title. The author is an expert on neuro-linguistic programming, or NLP, the science of how words, actions, attention, and emotions can alter one's mental focus and behavior. With an extraordinary understanding of how people influence each other, Boothman says couples become closer in four stages—attraction, connection, intimacy, and commitment. He offers astute suggestions about how to move from one stage to the next at exactly the right time. Narrating his own advice with a resonant British accent and natural pacing, Boothman has a casual way of drawing listeners in, awakening their interest, and rewarding them with sophisticated ideas. One of the best lessons ever on forming genuine romantic connections with others. T.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2008]
