Frank,
Robert H. “Passions
Within Reason: The Strategic Role of the Emotions.”, an economist at the
Johnson School at Cornell University.
Frank asks: why do people help
others, and retaliate against others who harm them, even when they can
expect no future personal, material gain from so doing? His answer is that
there are emotional rewards to helping those who deserve our aid and
hurting others who deserve our ire. Our behavior towards others is
regulated by the passions: empathy, spite, shame, remorse, guilt,
compassion, and the other social emotions.

Authors Article:
Economic Scene When It Comes to a
Search for a Spouse, Supply and Demand Is Only the Start
...A friend of his had complained about the inherent perversity of the
relationship scene. “Why is it,” she wondered, “that the men I fall in
love with are never interested in me, whereas I never feel attracted to
the ones who fall for me?” Because my colleague knew this woman
well, he felt free to respond candidly. “It’s simple,” he explained.
“You’re an 8 constantly chasing after 10s and constantly being chased by
6s.” His friend later confessed that this one-sentence analysis had proved
more useful than several years of expensive psychotherapy.

Katz, Elliott Being
the Strong Man A Woman Wants
This is a beautiful story of a man in a rocky marriage who seeks advice
from his
grandfather, a wedded man of 50 years. It may appear to subscribe to old
notions of manhood and chivalry, with chapters like "Leadership," "Being
manly" and "Making decisions." But, really, what man - sensitive New Age
guy or not - doesn't want to be a hero to his partner?
This book offers timeless wisdom about what it means to be a real man: One
who has a backbone, knows what he wants, can make decisions and take
charge (without controlling), has high moral standards, is a model for his
children, and someone his mate can look up to. I think it applies equally
to women.
"When you believe
you're entitled to being treated well, you won't accept anything less. If
you wait until things are very bad, it means you've set the limit too
low."
And that's true strength, the kind
that leads love into the light, into a
soul-affirming dance of life.

Beattie, Melody
Codependent No More:
How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring For Yourself
Beattie says your partner may be a substance abuser, gambler, sex addict,
or any
other kind of troubled or needy person, it doesn't matter. There's no
question their behavior is highly destructive - but so is yours. Your habits and
reactions to your
situation are allowing it to persist while sabotaging the most important
person in
your life, the only person you can change - you.
She offers thoughtful, much-needed insight and a path to healing, to help
restore
faith in the power of love - which begins with self-love.
