Soft cover. Condition: New. Love and the More Perfect Union combines proven strategies for achieving relationship harmony with the "continuum of connection," an innovative model of emotions that provides invaluable insights into how we love and the energetics of intimate relationships. It distills the complex world of relationships to its essentials, surfaces secret challenges and opportunities, and serves up six simple and actionable precepts for harmony and happiness. With its call for creative culture-creation and positive thinking, it is fluff free, straightforward, elegantly written, wise and immensely useful. Find out why one recent reader called it "a great resource for anyone interested in creating more paradise within their relationship." Intimate relationships are massive, murky territory. They're crisscrossed by a tangle of motivations-lust, love, attachment, loyalty, necessity, and more. They're the heart of darkness and the heart of light, too. By their very nature, they defy rational analysis. We stumble into relationships and do our best to muddle through. For most of us, being in a relationship is like trying to drive from Albuquerque to Newfoundland without a map. These pages provide a compass. More specifically, you will come away from these pages with four specific information sets: An understanding of the three core yearnings that drive our behavior in relationships. Insight into a paradox that is inherent in all relationships. We yearn to be autonomous and we also yearn to connect. The result: we're often out of synch with our partners, not to mention ourselves. Relationships require ongoing management of this tension. A visual map for understanding the dance of relationship and how to manage it skillfully. In the context of action, we humans thrive on concreteness. We benefit from clear mental maps, yet we tend to navigate our relationships without them. By this map, there are five chambers in the house of love. In this book, you will learn what they are, how to identify which one you're in, and how to migrate to one that feels better. The understanding that the work of relationship includes Tiny Country Creation. We are each of us Founding Fathers and Mothers in the land of love.

Soft cover. Condition: New. When he was in his late 60s, author Carl Frankel got some unexpected news. If he started playing tennis tournaments in the 70s division when he age-qualified, he could be one of the top 10 players in the country. Tennis as a Wisdom Practice tells the story of his pursuit of ranking success and what he learned along the way. Tennis as a Wisdom Practice is much more than a tennis saga, though. It's also about two other quests that are ultimately more important, the pursuit of wisdom and the pursuit of mastery. This book is for you if you like tennis. It's also for you if you're looking to get better faster at just about anything that requires focus and commitment, including the game of life. Do thoughts like these resonate for you? "Habits are choices that are hibernating." "Competition dunks us in the adrenaline-fueled Immediate Now. Competing successfully requires a part of us to simultaneously climb out of the Immediate Now to a more inclusive sense of time where things matter less and we maintain a sense of larger context." "We are submerged in narratives of our own creation. What if we didn't view death as an enemy? What if we positioned it as a partner and a friend?" "Celebrities are stand-ins for the Olympian gods our culture tries to do without. That's why our hearts go thump when we meet them." If so, Tennis as a Wisdom Practice will be a great partner for you in your pursuit of a good and wise life. On top of all this, Tennis as a Wisdom Practice is also a piece of reportage about the largely unknown supersenior tennis circuit and the people who populate it. This is a story in its own right, about vital men of a certain age who are keeping on keeping on, raging in the most social and athletic way possible against the dying of the light. A love song to tennis and a paean to the joys of lifelong learning, Tennis as a Wisdom Practice offers a boundary-busting approach to the game that can accelerate your path to mastery on the court and in your life. "A wonderfully entertaining yearlong journey on the senior tennis circuit with great insights into the pursuit of mastery. A wise and passionate meditation on the path to a better life." (John Tashiro, US top-ten player, 50-and-over singles) "A thinking man's tennis player, Carl Frankel brings an observant, inquisitive, anad insightful mind, along with a fluid writing style, to the joys and challenges experienced by every serious tennis player." (Steve Gottlieb, winner, four national senior titles) "Combines two timeless themes, the journey to wisdom and the journey to mastery, insightfully and cleverly. Damn, the dude can write! There is much to ponder in these pages. Serve yourself an ace with this great story." (Eric Booth, author, bestselling The Everyday Work of Art) "After reading the book, it's not clear to me whether the author is a better writer or tennis player he's awfully good at both! Frankel has written many books on a multiplicity of subjects over several decades. In this book, just the idea of a quest for mastery, tennis or otherwise, hooked me. His account of attempting to scale the heights of national-level senior tennis will resonate with anyone who plays and tries to get better (faster)." -Jimmy Parker, winner of 142 national titles Tennis as a Wisdom Practice also features a preface by Bob Litwin, the winner of 26 national senior titles who is widely viewed as one of the best senior players of his generation.

Soft cover. Condition: New. The Unraveling recounts the adventures that befall three Earthlings when they travel to a culture that has been steeping for thousands of years in a broth of sex, pleasure and connection. Welcome to Erotopia, where the clergy are sex priests and priestesses and their talents are literally miraculous! The three Earthlings are emissaries traveling to a distant galaxy to make contact with the only other humanoid species in the universe, and they are also entrepreneurs, intent on making a fortune by creating an X-rated reality show that features them having sex with hot extra-terrestrials. But the eronauts have shortcomings. They are toting Earth culture with them and are unskilled at relationship, communication, conflict resolution, and loving well. These deficits are magnified in the wisdom culture of Erotopia, which is perfectly artful in these areas. This clash of cultures and capacities is the fulcrum on which The Unraveling hinges. Will the Earthlings learn from Erotopia? Or will they infect the culture with their many dysfunctions? A deeply original mash-up of moods and genres, The Unraveling is silly, satirical, visionary, metaphysical, and memorably bawdy. "A sexy, droll page-turner that will make you think as well as laugh. A wise and provocative Utopian romp." -Eric Booth, author, Tending the Perennials: The Art and Spirit of a Personal Religion The Unraveling is also: -A deeply considered meditation on some of the most critical issues of our time, including boundaries, consent, and the meaning of 'man' and 'woman' in our culture. -Volume One of a grand epic trilogyThe Erotopian Chronicles. -A manifesto for sex-positivity. "Strap yourself in for one wild ride to Erotopia. Funny, sexy, beautifully written and compellinga thinking man and woman's erotic journey like no other. Barbarella meets Galaxy Quest on steroids!" -Marlene Adelstein, USA Today bestselling author of Sophie Last Seen "In a time when we're constantly bombarded with bad news about sex from the latest #MeToo scandal to the panic over human trafficking to the perils of porn addiction, it's refreshing to visit a world where there's not only abundant good news about sex, sex itself is the source of that good news. In his imaginative novel The Unraveling, author and well-known sex-positivity advocate Carl Frankel takes us to just such a placethe planet Erotopia (a title inspired by Ernest Callenbach's 1975 book Ecotopia) where consensual sex in a vast profusion of expressions is not only celebrated but forms the basis of a peaceful and prosperous society. Erotopia's inhabitants have perfected sexuality as both an art and a science and though their world is not entirely free of conflicts and contradictions, as none could be, it is as close to paradise as any humanoid life form could hope to discover. Vividly written, peopled with a fascinating diversity of characters human and otherwise, and delightfully optimistic, The Unraveling is a thoughtful and entertaining take on a world that's chosen the power of pleasure over the pleasure of power." -Ernest Greene, author, The Master of O Author Carl Frankel runs the Intimate Arts Center, which was founded by his wife, the award-winning author and sex educator Sheri Winston. He is the author of five non-fiction books, two of which have won national prizes: Secrets of the Sex Masters and The Art of Social Enterprise. The Unraveling is his first novel.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 2nd Edition. For Secrets of the Sex Masters, master journalist Carl Frankel interviewed nineteen of the world's best sex teachers and, in partnership with them, turned the interviews into chapters that will guide readers to having the best sex of their lives. Chapters cover what you might expect (oral sex, anal sex) as well as topics that are essential to having great sex but aren't covered in most books on the subject -- how to manage shame when it arises in the bedroom, for instance. The book is divided into three sections. The first section provides essential information with chapters on the dance of anatomy and energy, oral sex, anal sex (as noted above), power exchange (also known as kink or BDSM), and touch. The second section addresses issues relating to mind, heart and spirit, with chapters on finding the lover within, keeping the flame alive, sex and shame, sex as improv and creative play, eroticizing safer sex, and fantasy, role play and communication. The third and final section takes up advanced skills and 'special treats,' with chapters on extended female orgasm, non-ejaculatory male orgasm, female ejaculation, 'Bondassage' (a gently kinky form of massage), Tantra and energy sex. All in all, a mix of need-to-know information and Jedi-like capabilities that anyone can learn. Contributors include the legendary porn actress Nina Hartley and her husband, the master dominant Ernest Greene; Joseph Kramer, the creator of Sexological Bodywork; Sheri Winston; the award-winning sex educator and medical professional; Charles Muir, who is widely credited with bringing Tantra to the West; and fourteen other masterful 'sexperts.' Secrets of the Sex Masters isn't only a book about how to have amazing sex. It's about how to have an amazing life. At the end of the day, if you want to be a wonderful lover, you need to love wonderfully. Secrets of the Sex Masters provides all the technical information you need to be very skilled in bed. It also goes deeper than that and provides invaluable guidance on how to love wonderfully. It is, among other things, a book about how to show up. A book about how to connect.
