“List one fear that has been controlling your life. Once you decide to confront the fear, begin repeating to yourself, "I can handle it. No matter what happens, I will handle it." Keep repeating this mantra until you take action and stop feeling fear.”

“When recovering Nice Guys decide they will no longer settle for anything less than good sex, they begin to take responsibility for doing something different. •They let go of the concept of being a great lover. •They practice being clear and direct. •They choose available partners. •They don't settle for scraps. •They decide that bad sex is not better than no sex!”

“Stone's Rule #28
Never hold a meeting unless you know what result you want out of the meeting.
In both politics and business, the amount of labor and time wasted in meetings is huge.
It never ceases to shock me when I attend a meeting out to find out halfway into it that the organizers have no agenda and, by the end of it, have reached resolution on absolutely nothing.
A strong leader meticulously plans and methodically orchestrates meetings in order to achieve a desired result, or he doesn't hold them.”

“Surrendering Helps Nice Guys Reclaim Their Personal Power Ironically, the most important aspect of reclaiming personal power and getting what one wants in love and life is surrender. Surrender doesn't mean giving up, it means letting go of what one can't change and changing what one can. Letting go doesn't mean not caring or not trying. Letting go means letting be. It is like opening up a tightly clenched fist and releasing the tension stored inside. At first the fingers will want to return to their former clenched position. The hand almost has to be retrained to open up and relax. So it is with learning how to surrender and let go.”
