Now in paperback: the "New York Times" bestselling book of
inspirational advice and wisdom for young women from the powerhouse
public speaker, star of "CSI: NY," and bestselling author of
"Letters to a Young Brother"
Watch a Video Watch a video In his first book for adults, the "New York Times" bestselling author sparks honest dialogues between men and women, in the tradition of Steve Harvey's "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man." Only 34 percent of African-American children today are raised in two- parent households, a sharp contrast to 1966, when 85 percent of black children were raised by two parents. In provocative but heartfelt words, Hill Harper takes on these urgent challenges, bringing a variety of issues out of the shadows. In "The Conversation," Harper speaks to women and men with clear-eyed perspective, covering topics such as: -The roots of the breakdown in the black family -The myth that there are no mature, single, black male professionals -What women can do to alleviate the "heaviness" they sometimes attach to dating -What men can do to break the cycle of being a player -The difference between sex and intimacy -Bridging the communication gap -Self-worth and net worth, and why you should never settle for an unworthy partner Capturing the conversations Harper and his friends frequently have, this book is destined to be one of Harper's most healing contributions.
A compelling, important addition to Hill Harper's bestselling
series, inspired by young inmates who write to him seeking guidance
Offering inspirational advice in a down-to-earth style, this unique compilation of letters provides wisdom, guidance, and heartfelt insight to help the reader chart their own path to success. Based on the author's motivational speaking at inner-city schools across the country, the letters deal with the tough issues that face young people today. Bombarded with messages from music and the media, Harper set out
to dispel the stereotypical image of success that young people
receive today and instead emphasizes alternative views of what it
truly means to be a successful male, such as educational and
community achievements and self-respect. Intended to provide this
frequently regarded "lost generation" of young men with words of
encouragement and guidance, Harper's deep-rooted passion regarding
the plight of today's youth drove him to write this book, sure to
change the lives of readers for years to come.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown... Have you ever witnessed a Lady? Not a woman, but a Lady. She's a girl by birth, woman by maturity and Lady by choice. Do you remember how the sight of a Lady made you feel? Did she smile at you? Could you feel her warmth? Do you remember her scent of comfort and truth? Can you recall how difficult it was explaining what you witnessed when she strolled by? Her high heels were music; her stride was a song. She walked in greatness influencing nations with each step. Do you remember the first time you saw a Lady? Well, when was the last time you saw her? Her story isn't being told. Her legacy is being watered down and society is taking notes. She's much more than a victim with hips. "GENTLEWOMAN" sets out to explore the demise of femininity and class in contemporary society. Unlike any other book, the author shares a lifetime of relevant research and insight that will inform, educate and empower womanhood. The book is fresh, fun and sexy uncommon sense advice designed to facilitate a necessary conversation amongst the sexes that leads to real solutions. Oh, and a man wrote it CLASS IS BACK IN SESSION "From selecting wines to selecting a mate, I am re-branding etiquette. Making manners beautiful, again." -E.B. II
