We all need emotional blinders: the etiquette that keeps society
smoothly moving depends on it. But when you absolutely must rely on
another person, you have to be able to assess them objectively. Red
Flags shares simple strategies anyone can use to spot deceptive, or
dangerous people, who use ingratiation and social convention to
draw in and lull victims. Readers will learn how even the most
sceptical of us use rose coloured lenses on those around us, in
three sections: Blinded by Desire - from the alluring lenses of
attraction and positive attention to the blindness of marital
"bliss" and the distorted lens of delusion. Overlooking Red Flags
in a Professional Setting - how reassuring proximity and the false
security of credibility and similarity can lead to costly mistakes.
Be Afraid of What You Can't See - the ultimate cost of wearing
emotional blinders around the truly disturbed criminal, from sexual
predation to domestic abuse, stalking and cyberstalking. Readers
will learn how to: Avoid selective attention, Observe people over
time (bad guys rely on first impressions), Ask questions: most
people's favourite topic is themselves, Cyber sleuth to verify
information and track down inconsistencies. You need this book if
you: Want to know if a potential boyfriend is trustworthy, Are
interviewing or hiring new employees, Are selecting anyone to take
care of your children, Are lending money or property or Have
partners in business.
Apart from offering a fascinating look into the biological
imperative that drives some 300,000,000 people to vacation annually
in warm climates- think Hawaii, the Caribbean, Palm Springs and
Acapulco, "Loving The Sun...Exposed Without Fear" gives up-to-date
information on the dos and don'ts when spending time in bright sun
relaxing, working or playing. There is sound advice on how to
prevent over-exposure and importantly what to look for on your skin
when it has suffered the affects-both early and cumulative - of too
much ultra-violet radiation. Many dermatologists have said that if
people had read and heeded the information in this book, they would
have had fewer patients with fewer skin problems. Some of the
suggestions on how you can do what many of the experts say you
shouldn't are provocative, compelling and ultimately useful. In the
end, if you the reader have any questions regarding the information
offered herein, you should consult your dermatologist to determine
what is best for you."LOVING THE SUN...Exposed Without Fear" is an
expanded revision and update of "Sunbathing" which was written by
the author and published by Mayflower Press in 1978.
