Understand how a broken heart changes your brain and influences your mind, body and emotional well-being. Heartbreak is difficult and this book helps you through it. It is smart, funny and well worth the read."The Complete Player" covers the neurological scope of the unscrupulous game of hearts played between men and women worldwide. It is written to the person who has been hurt emotionally by a player; one who toys with another's love emotion for sport and sexual gratification. This book provides an unbiased exploration into the neurological and psychological implications of falling in love with Mr. or Mrs. Wrong.The human heart and brain are inseparable. No matter your romantic situation, it is important to understand the neurological dynamics of falling in and out of love, experiencing joy and heartbreak; drug and alcohol addiction and more importantly, recognizing how you value yourself. After all, "your brain is supreme and should be your most cosseted tool because when it breaks, so does the rest of you."FIND ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS LIKE: "What is love?""Why do men play love games?""Why me?" CHAPTER 1 THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE GAMEThis chapter sets the platform for science as it applies to love and sex using evidence from clinical studies designed around how humans process monogamy, morality and emotions. The section associates how these brain processes are impacted by the vulnerability and masculinity presented in a romantic user-giver relationship. This lends invaluable insights into why we allow toxicity into our sex lives. Lastly, this exciting chapter finally provides a relatable explanation of love as defined by science.CHAPTER 2 THE OBJECT OF THE GAMEThis section uses the psychology behind body language, words and money to define the object and intent of both parties, the player's and the mark's and evaluates their propensity for victory or failure. It breaks apart the stages and forms of seduction used to attract a mark and also explains the psychology that makes a mark either effortless or impossible to conquer.CHAPTER 3 THE BIOLOGY OF THE GAMEThe longest chapter in the book, this biology section is where a basic lesson in neurology is necessary and valuable to understanding why and how neurochemistry makes a huge impact on an individual's emotional life. This section spells out how our brain helps us learn, form emotions and opinions, process sexual encounters, relate to other people and fall in and out of love, among others. These small lessons tell an amazing tale of the stark differences between the sexes as you learn that men and women perform most of these actions using different strategies and regions of the brain. This section plainly explains why it's so difficult for the sexes to relate, especially on issues around sex. Notably, it explains why women aren't crazy and men aren't stupid. Alas, we're just two different sides of the same coin.To read the full CHAPTER OUTLINE, visit www.thecompleteplayerbook.comRemember, the best way to support an author you love is to write a review.

Samuel and Galasus, two nobles in the monarchy, devoted their childhood to studying the marvels of creation in the universe in the grand library on Planet Eugleston. Once of age, they were ready to receive their crowns. But after making a drastic decision to join their dark stars, it altered the prophecy and forced an alternative path for a new planet about to come into existence. Usually, Samuel worked alongside the Creator to put together magical creations in the universe, while Galasus provided the new planet's ultimate transformations. However, after joining their dark stars, Samuel unmasked his dark star without detection. By doing this, Samuel placed the rulers of the new planet in jeopardy, and a new conspirator was unveiled who could end the two nobles' reign in the monarchy. The Guardians on the new planet Varco-XVI need to lure the unmasked dark star to a place where they can confine it. Heroes confined in Planet Eugleston's coliseum tapestries will be called forth to battle against the villains about to be released from the theater's dark tapestries. All the Guardians ever wanted was to ensure their star babies would grow and rule the planet. But with the ultimate battle for creation brewing, will good once again conquer all, or will evil prevail? Book Four: A Dark Secret will appeal to readers with an intimate knowledge of the tarot and a love of all things astral.

"Understanding Economics: A Work of Science Fiction" by Dan Hicks is an accessible and thought-provoking book that makes economics relatable for a broader audience. By merging the worlds of economics and science fiction, Hicks achieves writing a text that is both enlightening and genuinely enjoyable to read."- Leath Al Obaidi, The Society of Professional Economists The human economy might be the most complex thing in the known universe. It is comprised of millions or billions of self-directed human beings, their technologies, and institutions, each continuously acting and interacting within an already ridiculously complex natural world. To navigate this complexity, economists, like science fiction writers, must start with what they know and try and fill in the many gaps in their knowledge with calculated guesses, conjecture, and a little bit of fantasy. In fact, it is when we forget how complex the economy is, when we are confident without justification of the impact our changes will have - that's when we tend to really mess things up.With the help of aliens, androids, Dr. Spock and Darth Vader, Understanding Economics: A work of science fiction takes an in depth look at the factors that make economics so difficult to understand and explain and, aware of these limitations, tries to explain them anyway.THE FIGHTIt might not seem apparent as we sit quietly on the bus, do our taxes or wait patiently in line to order our coffee, but the foundation of the human economy is an organism whose ancestors have scavenged, fought, killed and died to enable us to come into existence. This organism, with all its fears and desires, strengths and weaknesses, remains at the centre of economics today.FAITHWithout faith we are nothing - but not in a religious sense. Without faith in each other, in our institutions, our governments and our financial system we would literally have only a fraction of the wealth and comforts we enjoy today. We might sometimes fantasize about a post-apocalyptic world with no rules, where we're left to our own resources, but in reality, most of us wouldn't even survive.THE MACHINESForget about the impending AI apocalypse, the machines rose up and took control a long time ago. Our institutions are a technology of our own making that control our lives and our economy in ways that that we have much less control over than we might like.CHAOS & CONTROLAn economy is a precarious balance of chaos and control. When chaos reigns we lose the benefit of people working together to solve their problems. Excessive controls constrain the experimentation and variation through which an economy and its participants come up with new and highly effective solutions to its problems.NO SUPERHEROESThere are no superheroes who can save us. There aren't even superheroes who can consistently determine right from wrong. What there is, if we're lucky, is a process that ensures that our system of government is subject to continuous change intended to benefit those who are being governed.THE MATRIXOur economic world exists within a virtual reality of money and finance which facilitates things that couldn't be done without them. But it also distorts reality, making it hard to distinguish between fact and fiction and smart, or not so smart economic decisions.DEFAULT SETTINGSWhatever freedom we may perceive we have to direct our economy, we are constrained by our physical, cultural and political realities as well as the predominant intellectual theories of our time. For good and bad, our economies are defined by these default settings.BETTER REPLICANTSOur understanding of economics is informed by complex theoretical models, but no matter how advanced these models might be, they are a long way from being able to replicate our incredibly complex economic reality.

Angels and demons are everywhere, we just don't see them. Their job is to influence and lead souls to either heaven or hell. It's a battle that rages all around us for the soul of every human and neither side wants to lose. Juan Carlos Martinez, "JCM," the Mayor of Elgin, Illinois, is a young up-and-coming politician with aspirations of advancing his political career to higher office. His constituents like and respect him. In spite of his good intentions and solid reputation, evil influences try to lead him down a path of corruption, with the objective of destroying his career and stealing his soul. The demonic forces of Dante, the head demon, are making the road to future success for JCM contentious at best. Matthias, the head angel of God, fights to keep JCM and others on the straight and narrow path of righteousness and truth with timely intervention and divine assistance. Politics is a business and sometimes can be a very dirty game, especially when the battle between the mystical forces of good and evil are at play. Will JCM compromise his ethical and moral principles for political gain? Will his desire to succeed force him to sacrifice his core beliefs and ultimately, surrender his soul? Will those closest to him betray him? Everyone's soul is at stake by the decisions they make, as their choices in life will ultimately determine their eternal destiny.
