Όλοι μεγαλώσαμε με την προτροπή να είμαστε ευγενείς, αλλά υπάρχουν φορές που πρέπει να ξεχάσετε τι σας έλεγε η μητέρα σας και να υψώσετε τη φωνή σας. Η διαρκής υπαναχώρηση στις επιθυμίες των άλλων οδηγεί στη δυσφορία· κι όταν αποφασίζετε να διεκδικήσετε τα δικαιώματά σας, νιώθετε ενοχές.
Στο βιβλίο "Στήριξε τον εαυτό σου", ο δρ Χοκ εξαλείφει αυτά τα αρνητικά συναισθήματα και σας δείχνει πώς να αισθάνεσθε καλά με τον εαυτό σας. Οι πρακτικές του συμβουλές και η αδιάσειστη λογική του θα σας βοηθήσουν να πετυχαίνετε αυτό που θέλετε χωρίς να εκμεταλλεύεστε τους ανθρώπους. (Από την παρουσίαση στο οπισθόφυλλο του βιβλίου)

A very good study about relationships overall, about the guilt culture and the today's society thinking. Stand for yourself. Be yourself and don't think that is bad if you are egoistic, if that means you are taking care for yourself by not getting harm to others.

"Verige duševnega suženjstva ne oklepajo nog, temveč možgane. Kdor jih razklene, tvega še hujšo bolečino, vendar pa se tveganje ponavadi kasneje izplača."

Spolno življenje po merah žensk:
"Bilo bo mnogo dotikanja, objemanja, piljubljanja, občutenja in drugih telesnih in ne le gwnitalnih stikov. Pri mnogih ženskah naj bi to trajalo nekaj časa medtem pa bi tekel ljubezenski pomen s smehom."

Very unapologetic approach to self assertion and confidence. Many harsh truths that one needs to hear, and also act out.
