๐Ÿง›๐Ÿป‍♂️Horror and ๐Ÿ˜‡Self-Help

 

    The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix is a horror story of the vampire variety. Unfortunately, Hendrix is such a good writer that his creepy scenes have burrowed into my brain like a cockroach into an ear. I don't know if I'll read any more of his books because he does a brilliant job of showing, not telling, and I like to sleep at night.

    I heard about No More Mr. Nice Guy: A Proven Plan for Getting What You Want in Love, Sex, and Life by Dr. Robert Glover on Marriage Therapy Radio (https://marriagetherapyradio.com/2024/08/06/ep-332-no-more-mr-nice-guy-with-dr-robert-glover/) where Dr. Glover was interviewed by Zach and Laura. He has counseled many "nice guys" to help them toward healthier ways of navigating life. He does not advocate toxic masculinity but encourages men to ask for what they need and appreciate their worth. I found lots of things to apply in my own life. If you seek to get your emotional, physical, social, and financial needs met by taking care of others to the extent that you don't care for yourself, then you will probably not get your needs met.
