About the author
Brian Maddox
4 books18 followersBrian Maddox (1988) was born in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. For the first ten years after high school Brian continued to find himself in post secondary studies. After achieving his Bachelor of Commerce (BCOM) in 2011 at the University of Alberta, Brian landed a desk job as a full-time accountant where he completed his Charter (CPA) under the CMA legacy program in 2015. The choice to pursue never ending school seemingly paid off allowing him to purchase his first home by the time he was 25. Unfortunately this monetary headway didn't carry its way much into his relationships which motivated Brian to write his first officially published book, "The Reframe: Reframe Relationships." This book cites that a reframe is needed with regard to relationships in today's society given the ever increasing rate of marriages that now fail. Brian continues to spend the bulk of his time working as a full time accountant, reading self-help books and studying for his CFA designation examinations. He hopes that his book will make a pivotal difference in the live's of its readers and ambitiously hopes that it even helps to straighten out society's misguided view on relationships.

"The Reframe" - Getting boys out of their mom's basement since 2016.

Picked up the Kindle version for $3.99. Has a lot of hidden value which makes it worth this cost.
Ideas are interesting, unique and easy to follow.
Instilled reflection on my own life.
I am not sure if I felt motivated or guilty when I finally put it down. At times I felt as if the book was judging me.
Would have gotten 5 stars for the value, suggested leg extensions in the health section during Leg day so I had to give it 4 stars. Easily a hidden gem, I kept going back to some concepts to attempt to utilize them in my everyday life.

When it comes to relationships, it’s important to understand differing points of view and sometimes it’s necessary to reframe your thinking. While this book is geared for men, as a woman, I found it useful and intriguing. See, we’re all social creatures and we crave the same thing: to be loved and to love in return.
In The Reframe, Maddox takes a logical approach to dating and relationships. He incorporates today’s digital societal norms and breaks down what it takes to be more confident, attract a desirous mate and maintain the relationship. Maddox doesn’t just tell men how to be more confident but shows through examples how to naturally be the best man he can be. It’s not about fancy cars, money and Adonis physique that makes a successful relationship but by being genuine and engaging with a woman which reveals a man’s true heart. No mind games or tricks; just a man and woman interacting in a meaningful way.
Maddox asked for a female point of view and here is mine on The Reframe:
Men, you need to read this book! Not only is this an invaluable guide to relationships but Maddox speaks from experience. When he’s describing women and their actions, he’s spot-on. I found myself nodding in agreement about how women think and feel. If I didn’t know better, I’d think this was written by a woman.
A modern relationship book that will reframe your perspective on dating, relationships and connecting with your partner. I wish I had read this book when I was dating. What Covey did for time management, Maddox does for relationships. Highly recommend!
My Rating: 5 stars

One of the better self help books out there and I need lots of self help. I loved the 7 habits by Covey so I did have a predisposition for this book.
With that in mind I found it positive and more of a book about transforming yourself than it is trying to manipulate or change others. Deserves more recognition.
