Jon Stewart from THE DAILY SHOW says: “Salmansohn has the soul of a stand up comic. The battle of the sexes has a brave new gladiator.”

Jon Stewart’s quote can be seen on the back of PRINCE HARMING SYNDROME - click and see! Wooohooo!

I met Jon Stewart a bunch of years ago - and he thought I was a very funny writer and so asked me to be his “test guest” on his MTV pilot for his first talk show on MTV. Long story there - but to keep it short -that TV pilot got him the show - so indirectly I helped launched Jon Stewart’s career! :) lol - I just bumped into him recently at THE APPLE STORE on 14th St. and we chatted and caught up - and I told him that little quip of mine you just read. I was at APPLE STORE waiting for my 1-on-1 appt. The Apple Geinus Geek saw Jon Stewart and me chatting - and when my name was called he fetched me from Jon Stewart and thereafter because I was celeb-chatting, gave me 2 hours of help instead of 1 hour - and offered to come to my apt to set up my TIME MACHINE to back up my laptop - so indirectly Jon Stewart helped back up the computer I am writing to you all on ! :)

If you’re having computer problems - I know a good Genius Geek at the apple story!

How important is lust and hot sex in a love relationship?

In PRINCE HARMING SYNDROME I include many of the timeless philosophies of Aristotle (as well as cutting edge modern research on successful relationships). According to Aristotle, the soul needs passion — the soul needs to be stimulated with sensory pleasures to be happy. But hot sex is the means to the ends of happiness — not the ultimate ends. The ultimate ends of a happy life is to grow into your best possible self. With this in mind, A Happily Ever After Love Relationship serves 2 functions:

1.“den of pleasure”—for fun, companionship, sex,
laughter, etc.—which you as a human need—so you
can keep your soul alive with passion!

2.  “laboratory for growth”—the ultimate place
of challenge for your soul to be nurtured to grow—
which you as a human need—so you can keep your
soul alive with growth!

What is a Prince Harming?

The following is a Q and A with me about my new book PRINCE HARMING SYNDROME…which you can find out even more about by clicking here directly.

Question:

The title of your book is PRINCE HARMING SYNDROME. So, what is a Prince Harming?

Answer:

A guy who is either trouble - or troubleD. I confess up front I’ve had my share. Been there, dated him.  I believe if you want to be happy in love, you must take the time to see past a person’s “superficial lures” (hottiness, funniness, smartness, success, status, power, fame, glory, wealthiness)— and look deep inside their “superinsidehimself” true core self.

Unfortunately it’s very easy to get hypnotized by “superficial lures.” In particular, those fumes of chemistry can dizzy a gal into making stupid love choices. It’s hugely important to remember: Yo! Hot steamy chemistry eventually fades—and what’s always left beneath is a person’s true soul — his true character.

A few years ago I saw an article about “The Psychopath Checklist”—a helpful list criminal psychiatrists use to test the potential of someone being a hardcore psychopath, capable of committing repeated evil and violent crimes. The list?

Glibness
Extreme charisma
Need to always be doing something
Feelings of high self-worth
Pathological lying
Proneness to boredom
Emotional unavailability

I realized all these personality traits described my ex-Prince Harming boyfriend - who turned out to be a dont-get-me-started lying cheater. The lesson? A good personality is never to be confused with good character. It’s essential to look for someone who values growing into their best self - which means someone with appealingly good character. Charles Manson, Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini were all very passionate, charismatic, intelligent, successful guys—but that doesn’t mean you should have dated them! In my book I offer many helpful methods for really exploring who a person is! I say “If you want your prince to pop the question, you have to pop certain questions up front” — which I give readers. Plus, I also say “You gotta be the change you want to date” - and work on yourself as well! I give tips for how to “troubleshoot problems with your prince — without wanting to shoot your prince” and I offer “Princess Charming School secrets of seduction.”

Happy Friday, dammit!
