I'm fully turned on!

"Never Sleep Alone" is exciting. It wakes you UP. (married or single)

Its impossible to read this book and not take ACTION -- (if not, 'something' is just plain wrong with you):
THINGS YOU MIGHT FEEL INSPIRED TO DO:
You might want to jump somebody,
masturbate, (yes, I did that before writing this review)
clean your house,
dress seductively,
Buy new sheets or towels,
Buy some fresh flowers for your house
Keep a lovely fruit bowl out (makes people think of oral sex)
Buy some new teas and coffee
Clean up your surroundings,
Push your exercise to new limits,
Plan an exotic vacation
Buy a new pair of dark sensual sunglasses
Make love in a secret garden letting the sun warm your naked back -- while gazing dreamily into a lovers eyes.
Make your own list!

A few more things to take away from this wonderful 'gem'... (while the fire is in your belly)...

REMEMBER:
....Make sure to be having regular MIND BLOWING ORGASMS --because no matter how impressive your non-sexual achievements are, your body is going to keep telling you, "you are not good enough"...
because your body WANTS SEX.
After great sex ---your mind is more calm--you think more clearly- perform better at work -and are kinder to other fellow humans!

....Chemistry is a force beyond your control. When chemistry is there you feel connected, fulfilled, and beautiful. When not, you feel detached, depressed, and ugly.

....There is NOTHING you can do to CONTROL chemistry. It is stronger than you.
but..
The GOOD NEWS is:
You always KNOW where there is chemistry---
and you KNOW when there is NO chemistry.

Keep aiming for those mind blowing orgasms...
Take some healthy risks! Write a friend --and tell them what that might be --then demand they tell you theirs.
Get creative --Have fun --Be outrageous! ...................
Because YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!

الكتاب ده موجه للجنسين، وهو مش نجس كما يوحي العنوان، بس للأمانة المؤلفة مش تمام.

بس الكتاب في مجمله كويس ومهم، خصوصًا للناس في زون (ليه ما حدش بيحبني؟ حاسس إني مش قمور، أنا مين هيبص لي).

قد تتساءل ليه واحد في جمداني يقرأ الكلام ده، عندي نفس التساؤل برضه، بس أهو زيادة الخير خيرين.

الكتاب بيتكلم عن إزاي تبقى شخصية مثيرة.

وكله تقريبا مبني على أسلوب إغواء النجم، اللي هو لما تعامل الناس كأنك نجم هيبقوا ليك فانز.

في المجمل كتاب لا بأس به وفيه نصايح أساسية ومهمة زي:

إنك ما تتدلقش أو تهتم أكثر من اللازم 

وتخليك شخصية حلوة ونغشة ولذيذة وساعتها الناس هتبحث عن حبك ورضاك، أيوة زيي كده.

كام نقطة مهمة عجبوني في الكتاب:

BDSM:
Be direct
Seem misterious


• لما تمدح خلي الموضوع شخصي: أنت جامد، أنت عبقري.

لما تنقد خلي الموضوع محايد: الفعل ده غلط، الفعل ده سخيف.

• الكبار عايزين يتعاملوا زي الأطفال، بس مش الأطفال السخيفة اللي ما حدش طايقهم، لأ، الأطفال المتدلعة المحبوبة اللي رغباتهم ملباة ووجودهم مرغوب.

عشان كده البنات في كل الأعمار بتحب الآيس كريم والكاب كيك
والرجالة في كل الأعمار بتحب البوبييييز (بصوت طفل برضه)

وعشان كده دايما حسس شريكك إنه بيعمل جودچوب، وإنه شطور وجامد وأحلى من في الحفلة.

• الست اللي تـlead مرة هتتبسط مرة، الواعية اللي هتعلم الراجل إزاي يبسطها هتتبسط كل مرة.

Never forget that you are beautiful…

I went a bit out of my comfort zone when I picked up Never Sleep Alone by Dr. Alex Schiller. Not because the content was uncomfortable, but because I am not really sure how in the hell to review a self-help book! I mean it is obvious why you might want to read this book, you might be single, you might be lonely, you might really want to get laid night after night. So if you fall in that category this book will be a great road map for a life that is going to start to be very adventurous in and out of the bedroom. But also, I found reading this book, it is a great tool for someone who has been married over 20 years like myself. Even though I don’t currently sleep alone, my nights have just now gotten to be a bit hotter!

Never forget that your partner is beautiful…..

Never sleep alone is built around 9 principles to moving you in the direction to being The One. Not finding The One, but becoming The One. I loved how this book will drive us to become not only a sexier, more self-assured person, but how it really starts putting the onus on ourselves. Because she is right, until we feel we are The One, no one is ever going to see us as The One. As you follow the 9 principles, you are challenged by the good Dr. to do things that will put you out there. Even though the book is really helping you score in your sexuality, just some of the tasks she gives you will help in many aspects of your life.

And never forget that sex is beautiful.

Several times as I was reading the book I reflected on my marriage and conferred with my husband. It was interesting talking about some of these points as a couple and how really vital they were to making a relationship not only sexier but stronger and healthier. Her points she makes in this book are extremely valid, but the humor and wit that she brings to the table makes reading this book very enjoyable. I mean this chick is hysterical at times! I laughed so hard sometimes because I was thinking yes…that is so true, or OMG I totally do that! Any time you can add a bit of humor in helping you attain a better life, the better.

And never forget that every time you have sex….it could be the last time.

I encourage everyone to grab this book. Dr. Schiller takes an uncomfortable topic for some and breathes some life and humor into. There are so many amazing points that are talked about that anyone from any age or any walk of life will appreciate. I mean honestly…does anyone ever really want to sleep alone???

Tomorrow your genitals could turn to dust.

As aside note, when you take the challenge that you have to sit in a bar without looking at your phone, pull out this book…because I can assure you reading a book with a condom on the cover…in a bar…will attract at least one person!

4.5 Become The One - Stars

"Don't waste the best years of your life being fearful and mediocre. It is time to overcome your inhibitions, transform your existence, and become the Exceptional Individual you were meant to be."

Sounds good right?! I think so, too.
From time to time I like to switch up my reading pattern and with Never Sleep Alone (NSA) I found the perfect book.

Are you single wishing to find the one? In a marriage that could use some spicing up? Or are you just looking to read something else? Whatever your situation is, this book is/can be for you. Don't start this book with a mind thinking something is wrong with you, rather see it as improvement-guide, helping you to feature the best parts of you.

"A shortage of experience will lead to a surplus of expectations."

Dr. Schiller wrote with Never Sleep Alone a highly entertaining self-guide, helping women and men alike to escape their mediocre lives by gently forcing them to leave their comfort zone if seeking to find The One. In order to find The One, she states, one has to become The One.

Easier said then done. Living in such a fast-paced society we don't realize how much we depend on technology and are glued to our computers or cell phones wherever we go. By doing so we're unapproachable, seeming off limits to meet new and exciting people in life and wondering, "Is it me? Is something wrong with me?" that I don't meet someone.

NSA is built around nine principles that slowly but surely will (if you really do follow her instructions) transform you to become The One everyone would like to be with, around with, or dying to talk to. I know it seems funny and highly questionable but try to read this book with an open mind and you'll notice that a lot of things Dr. Schiller suggests are spot-on and make sense.

" Desire is contagious. "

Who doesn't want to become a "Seductive, Self-Confident, and Sexually Skilled" person?! I certainly want to and the author helps by pushing us out of our routine and comfort zones with challenges to finally become exactly the person we secretly all wish to be.

"When you are The One, you never chase after sex, romance, or love - because everyone is always chasing after YOU."

Take a chance on this entertaining and eye-opening book, no matter your relationship status - just remember to keep an open mind and not to take everything too serious, then you can and will enjoy this book.

I'm not sure what made me read this book. I think I saw it recommended on some website or magazine. I thought from the review that the book would be funny or tongue-in-check, but it was awful. I couldn't figure out if it was serious or not. I felt like I was getting advice from Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother. The tone also reminded me of the crazy girl from Gone Girl. I don't recommend it. Get advice from a better source that doesn't use so many abbreviations and that has some research behind it.

[The Rainbow Zee]

An open letter to "Not really a doctor" Alex Schiller:

I should preface this by saying I'm married to My One for over 22 years, and have two amazing children, 19 and 13, and I'm definitely not a prude. My eldest is studying to be a real scientist, not a delusional woman who practices pseudo-science. I find it surprising you haven't found your One.

Actually I don't.

Anyone who thinks the young women of today are more interested in landing a perpetual cycle of sex partners is sad, pathetic, and needy.

You're welcome.

For your information, the ability to have sex when you want to doesn't even come close to making you exceptional. I don't need anyone who could pass for a female dog in heat to tell me I'm exceptional. Me, mediocre? You sad delusional woman. And I use that term loosely, for any woman who deigns to categorize women as mediocre instead of seeing the amazing woman for who she is, is a disgrace to our gender.

Further, anyone who would pretend to be deaf, or any other disability, to have sex is outright insulting. Believe me, should our paths ever cross,I won't hesitate to get out of my wheelchair and kick you in your overused (allegedly) ladyparts.

But the final straw, the reason I could not get past the first few pages was proof of why you are to be despised and not admired. You advise any person who finds your psychbabble tasks too difficult, and I'm quoting word for word, "You can always move to a Third World country and bring clean water to poor people who will sleep with you".

A whole host of descriptive words come to mind, but Hitler keeps floating in there for some reason. I won't repost my initial reaction out of respect for my readers.

For that reason alone I hope you don't procreate, so that your elitist venom dies along with your dusty genitals.

I won't pass this on to anyone because I know there is more to life than sex. Too bad you're missing out on a genuine, happy life.

Some may say you can't review a book you've barely read; I see this as an opportunity to read a real book, and not an insulting time-sucking vampire.

Note: I was sent this book as a part of the Official XOXPERTS Street Team, www.xoxoFterdark.com. This is my honest and unbiased review.

[Victoria Colotta · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am not generally a self-help book reader. In fact, for the most part, I stay clear of the genre because of one simple fact…I can never relate to the books. However, when I saw this book, it made me take a second look.

NSA Truth: The only way to stop having expectations is to start having more new experiences.

In Never Sleep Alone, Dr. Alex Schiller (a.k.a. Roslyn Hart) gives us her nine principles to becoming The One for yourself. Through her rules and truths, the reader will learn all of the steps that she feels will get you to the point where you will never sleep alone unless you want to. She takes ownership in being unafraid to take risks and in being sexy. She asks the reader to step out of the boring life that they are living and become inspired and satisfied in our lives.

NSA is about you fearlessly reinventing yourself whenever you want, until you find what works for you.

I will be the first to admit, this book may not be for everyone. You have to be at a place in your life where you want to accept what the author has to say. You have to be willing to commit to the principles and learn to not have expectations. While reading it, I realized that I started to compare my life to the one that was outlined in the book. I don’t know if I am at the place to truly embrace the NSA principles, but I can see how important it is to own who you are.

This book is blunt and lays it all out there. There really isn't much that the author will not say, and at times, it made me laugh. I did take away one major point from this book. It is important to desire yourself and to really be accepting of who you are. And always remember this one NSA Truth…Bad breath is the number-one killer of seduction.

Uncertain if the human evolution remarks are true, but certainly not a bad self-development read.

[Ayesha Holder · Rating 1 out of 5]

Ok I refuse to listen to anymore of this. Usually I don’t review books I DNF but this is beyond disgusting and inappropriate. To call yourself a doctor and then write a book that teaches people to be dishonest with other, deceitful with their own desires, deny themselves of values and try to make readers feel as if they are worst than others if they have emotional attachments should be cause for revocation of any licenses this person may hold.

The author makes remarks regarding poor people in third world countries, suggesting that they are beneath rich people and that they can be bought with clean water. At that point I thought it was a joke. Then the author went on to say, several times, that people should look a certain way and that a woman 10 pounds overweight should not drink a chai latte. The book reinforces harmful societal standards and is very discriminatory.

People have preferences and everyone has someone (many people) that want to sleep with them. Keep your standards and your personality (unless it is harmful to yourself and others) don’t take advise for a rent a doctor.

I have been to a few of Dr. Alex's seminars at Joe's Pub in New York and so I was quite excited to receive an advanced copy of the book to read. I wondered if the book would be as eye opening and fun as her seminars. Thankfully, I was not disappointed! Dr. Alex's lessons make reading the book an interactive experience. I read a chapter and then would go out and take her advice. Much to my surprise, I have become a more confident person when dealing with relationships, thanks in part to reading this book and attending Dr. Alex's seminars. This is totally a must read for anyone who wants to improve their romantic life. Forget Valentines Day sappy romance novels. Forget Fifty Shades of Grey. Never Sleep Alone is what you should buy in February to start 2015 off right!

Fantastic book, super motivational...and you don't have to see the show to make use of it (but if you have the opportunity to see the show in NYC definitely go- you'll have a super fun evening out). Will definitely read over again.

I picked this up on Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady after the NSA show and VIP after party with Dr Ashley. She signed during the Scarlet Night party.

I’m with my life partner but there are some great ideas even if you takeaway the sexual portion. My favorite is 2SOQ or LT3. When having a conversation you can say two statements and then one question. I was on stage participating in the performance and we had a good back and forth but I got spanked off.

Try something/go somewhere new every month.

[Andres Dubon · Rating 1 out of 5]

She would call her attitude towards life as bold intresting and so on.
If I ever encounter her more than once I would feel sorry for her.

Everything she describes, from "outfit" to recommendation to actions has no justification other than "you might like it, but more importantly, other people sees it as cool." It all feels so shallow and uninteresting to me.
Her definition of importance or trascendental matters is not based no being beyond the "mediocre" people is depending on them to be someone at all.

[Paige · Rating 1 out of 5]

I thought this would be a funny humorous read and didn't even finish it. It's got your basic self help tips on how to be confident and independent, some might find it useful. Personally I just found it a bit sad that the author thinks that you in order for others to find you to be interesting you need to create a character version of yourself.

I'll pass on finishing it. I'd rather sleep alone than sleep with people who are attracted to the tips this author gave.

[Noel Lord · Rating 4 out of 5]

Look it's not for everyone. I give this book a 3.5 stars. Those that don't have a sense of humor or are not really opened minded don't read it. It's written by a comedienne who goes by the name of Dr. Alex Schiller (I'm sure the name means something but haven't figured it out yet.) Some of the advice are on point, things you've heard before but that need to be reiterated. Some are okayyy?! Some of it might be the joke's on you, tongue in the cheek sort of thing.

[Alexandra · Rating 3 out of 5]

Weirdly interesting. Still not sure how I feel about this book, but I guess it's mainly positive. A lot of info you may already (subconsciously or not) know, but it is repeated here in a very straightforward manner that makes the main messages stand out. Not sure if I'd buy it again, but I've read much worse, so...3 stars.

[Mahayana Dugast · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm giving 5 * because I haven't laughed that hard reading a book for a very long time.
It doesn't mean that I agree with what Alex says by a long shot but enjoyed it thoroughly.
One thing I do agree with is to learn to not be tied up to one's phone to the point of being unsociable.
Enjoy!

This book is silly, lowbrow, and poorly written. Also, "Dr. Alex Schiller" is the pen name of actress Roslyn Hart. She's not actually a doctor. I looked her up because that was obvious after reading the first page.
