Aesop lived in the early sixth century BC on the island of Samos, which lies off the coast of modern Turkey. He originally came from Thrace which was a separate country in those days, though it now forms part of Greece and Bulgaria. Very little is known about his life except that he worked as a slave on Samos for a master called Iadmon, and that he became a very famous storyteller. He was so famous that almost any fable which could have been told by him became attributed to him.

The 3-Day Nanny

Simple 3-Day Solutions for Sleeping, Eating, Potty Training and Behaviour Challenges

Pressurised by the media, scrutinised by their peers, frowned upon even by those closest to them, mothers today face relentless criticism and pressure. Breast or bottle? Work or stay at home? Routine or feeding-on-demand? The choices are infinite and at the heart of each question is the more controversial and divisive debate of what makes a good mother. Good Mother, Bad Mother is an illuminating, moving and thought-provoking study of this enigmatic question. Never before has the subject of motherhood been tackled with such unflinching honesty. 
 
Drawing on her experience of thousands of mothers, bestselling parenting author Gina Ford has turned her attention to the women charged with bringing up the next generation. She addresses the challenges of contemporary motherhood and fervently argues that these awe-inspiring women seldom receive the support, respect and admiration they deserve. And for the first time, in a candid, personal account, Gina interweaves stories from her own childhood, revealing how her relationship with her own mother has shaped the choices she has made. 
 
Any woman who has ever doubted her capabilities as a mother will find comfort and reassurance in the insights of the woman whose books have been justly described a 'godsend'.

Richard La Ruina

Richard La Ruina used to be the guy who couldn’t get the girl. Shy, painfully awkward, and still living at home with his mother, at 25 he decided to finally take control of his life and become the kind of man men admire and women desire. Having developed and honed his seduction techniques, Richard is now a ‘natural’ at attracting girls and one of the world’s most renowned pick-up artists. 
 
As founder of PUA Training (Pick-up Artist Training), Richard has personally coached thousands of men through their own dramatic transformations. Now, in The Natural, he brings that experience to you, delivering field-tested methods and easy-to-use tools for attracting the women you want. Just like riding a bike or driving a car, meeting women and making them fall for you is a learned skill that, with enough practice, becomes effortless. There’s no need for tricks, gimmicks, or lies. Instead, these methods make you more confident and attractive to women. Using the tools in The Natural, you’ll finally have the ability to attract women just by being yourself. 
 
From body language to conversation starters, eye contact to the first touch, The Natural is a step-by-step blueprint for becoming the man that women can’t resist.
