It was time for a new me
Last week I was sitting in an airport coffee shop reading a book on my kindle when an older woman walked by carrying a coffee and a purse, looking for a place to sit.Since all of the tables were occupied and she was looking a bit displaced, I offered her a seat at my table. Relieved, she sat down and expressed her gratitude. I promptly went back to my reading but I could feel her eyes boring into me as I anticipated the dreaded question."What are you reading?" she finally blurted.Now I know this is neither a profound nor earth-shattering inquiry but there were two problems at hand here.One, I'm terrible at summarizing books. Just awful. (Which you're about to discover.)And two, I was reading a book about female empowerment. Which ironically, I was ashamed to admit. Clearly, I had just started reading the book.But then I thought of something Brian said in this book, and I went for it.Allowing myself to be open and even vulnerable led Martha, the lady in front of me, and I into a conversation for the next hour.This is a simple book, in that it is easy to understand (thanks Brian!) and yet it has profoundly changed my life by finally lifting the fog and opening my eyes.We're living in a culture of `never enough'. I'm certainly feeling it. Are you? I never work hard enough, I don't help others enough, I'm not successful enough, I don't eat healthy enough... and on and on.That, for me, had to change. And fast.Brian Nox, the author, talks a lot about how making a major change in your life isn't something you wake up and do one day, it's something you practice every single day. And most will struggle with it, but without the struggle, we lose out on so much. But there’s more, the changes I thought I had to make weren’t the ones that were important...at all! It was time to reclaim my power and go for what was really important to me, personally, so I could let go of all the rest.I will have far fewer regrets on my deathbed having read this book. If you read these Brian, THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart.Everyone should read this book. Everyone who wants to stand alone, but still belong. Everyone who already is alone, and wants to be a part of something again. Everyone who is tired of a humanity that is separated. Give it a shot.Buy It Right. This. Minute. Sit your butt down for an hour, and start reading. It will be a good investment.

I am feeling empowered & I will forever get the Oxygen first (I come first)
I LOVED IT! I got the Audible Edition and the Kindle App with Whispersync version. I love listening & reading along. What's great about this book is well EVERYTHING. I am a very transparent person but at times very emotional. But regardless of what people think of my Vulnerability, I stood my ground on being me. He talks about the High Value Woman & as I listened, I suddenly came to the realization that I AM ONE. I am by no means perfect & he has helped me to understand the things, I need to work on. I know its not my body, the way I eat, the way I am but other things that I am certain will help me to nurture all of my relationships. I have been failing at putting myself first but no more of that. I will be able to spot other High Value Women & I will know we are like minded. I gave this book as a gift to a High Value Woman who doesn't realize how amazing she is and how she deserves to be treated. I know this book will open her eyes. I follow Brian on YouTube & loved everything he has to say. Even though I am married, I have also read and listen to his other books. He is an absolutely exceptional man and I applaud him for the insight he provides to women. Keep them coming Brian. You're awesome and I am forever in your debt.

She Comes First
I am almost finished with this book, and I've got to say it has alot of great info for making sure women can stand up for themselves, and not be doormats. Women have taken on so many roles today, and people can take advantage of our willingness to help. This author tells us how to set our boundaries in a respectful way. He also helps us with creating a mission statement that is unique to each of us, and why that is so important for ensuring we stay on the right path for us. I marked so many pages that had "gems" of wisdom. I plan to pass this book on to my granddaughter to read. I would definitely recommend this book.

Good One
I enjoyed reading this book. I like the analogue used, they truly helped me picture things and visualize my character in each scenario. Thank you for writing this and providing insight from a male perspective.

The title says it all
I have read many books on similar subjects, and this book is really good. Brian has a great way of being real. What I found so helpful about him is he bridges what women really do not know about men and also what they are struggling to find for themselves. I liked that he just names men and women's natural tendencies, but spends much more time on strategies that work for both. I don't think it is that we intend to create some of the things we do in our lives, it's just that we don't know what we don't know. As much time that I have spent in relationships with men, I continue to find things that I did not know I don't understand through Brian's work. At the same time, he also points to the foundational work that women need to do for themselves to be their authentic self rather than what society says. Reading this book will certainly help me continue my journey forward on being a high value woman. I feel like I can see the whole picture of how to do that in a way that is not overwhelming or consuming. And, I love that becoming this more authentic person for me actually works well in relationships with men!
