That book?

 

[biteme]

Give us a brief synopsis?.. I don't read self help books.

 

[Smurfy]

Give us a brief synopsis?.. I don't read self help books.

It's about a concept called "Positive Psychology" which highlights what's good rather than what's wrong with people.

 

[heatherrae]

I've never heard it. It sounds like another shitty example of books like "what color is your parachute/" "who moved my cheese" etc.

Bleh.

Was it good?

 

[H_T_]

Give us a brief synopsis?.. I don't read self help books.

i never liked that term self help. i always thought of stuff like that as something that opened your eyes. maybe make you realize more...

 

[swole]

if it were full of peanut butter i'd probably strap on a rubber and fuck it

It's about a concept called "Positive Psychology" which highlights what's good rather than what's wrong with people.

So basically it says that positive interactions with people make you feel good, while negative ones make you feel bad? I had a negative one with my daughter less than an hour ago and my nerves are still frayed.

yeah I'm not too keen on the title either lol. but I like books like this because they take simple yet relevant theories and apply it to everyday life. and it leaves me with a more positive outlook even if i dont put that particular concept it into practice

 

[Smurfy]

So basically it says that positive interactions with people make you feel good, while negative ones make you feel bad? I had a negative one with my daughter less than an hour ago and my nerves are still frayed.

well it takes this very basic and elementary idea and says that simply by having more positive rather than negative or neutral interactions everyday, the impact is staggering. much more than you could imagine. it goes beyond individual impact.

Listen up ya'll, Cuz this is it
The beat that I'm bangin' is de-li-cious

Smurfalicious definition make them boys go loco
They want my treasure so they get their pleasures from my photo
You could see you, you can't squeeze me
I ain't easy, I ain't sleazy
I got reasons why I tease 'em
Boys just come and go like seasons

[Hook]
Smurfalicious
But I ain't promiscuous
And if you was suspicious
All that shit is fictitious
I blow kisses (mmmwwahhh)
That puts them boys on rock, rock
And they be lining down the block just to watch what I got (four, tres, two, uno)

[Chorus]
So delicious (It's hot, hot)
So delicious (I put them boys on rock, rock)
So delicious (they wanna slice of what I got)

I'm the L to the A, R, A
And can't no other lady put it down like me

[Hook]

My body stay vicious
I be up in the gym just working on my fitness
He's my witness (oooh wee)

And he be lining down the block just to watch what I got (four, tres, two, uno)

[Chorus]
So delicious (It's hot, hot)
So delicious (I put them boys on rock, rock)
So delicious (they wanna slice of what I got)

Baby, baby, baby
If you really want me
Honey get some patience
Maybe then you'll get a taste
I'll be tasty, tasty, I'll be laced with lacey
It's so tasty, tasty, It'll make you crazy

All the time I turn around always brotha's gather round always looking at me up and down looking at my

I just wanna say it now I ain't tryin to round up drama little mama I don't wanna take your man
And I know I'm comin off just a little bit conceited and I keep on repeating how the boys wanna eat it
But I'm tryin' to tell, that I can't be treated like clientele
Cuz' they say she

[Hook]

nice bro, safety first

Sounds like it could be something you'd read as a companion book to How To Win Friends and Influence People. That book deals with the flaws of human nature and how to twist them to your advantage when dealing with weaker people. I'd much rather those people be able to own up to their faults and improve themselves as well but apparently that's too much to ask. The author goes into great detail of how to work around this.

I was just having a conversation about this yesterday - I can't imagine but I would like to.

Slightly off topic but do you remember the movie Pay it Forward?

Reminds me of that in a way.

It's smiling.

Try smiling at a complete stranger when walking by them - it's the one's that can't bring themselves to smile back that I worry about.
