 There are all the things that we have to do: go to work; pay bills; and do laundry. There's all the stuff we should do: remember to be respectful of others, even when we're busy; read more books and watch less sports; and get out to more cultural events, like theatre and museums. Of course, there's the stuff we love to do: go to see our favorite teams, if not live, then at a bar with friends; hang out with the beautiful women in our lives; go see our favorite bands; and get away to someplace exotic or just down the road. Sound familiar? Welcome to Life.
How we mesh those things together is our lifestyle. We'll be talking about why knowing "how to be" can affect where you end up. Not screaming at the assistant shows the boss you can manage people, which might lead to a raise. Holding the elevator door for the hard-charging redhead might start a conversation that ends over dessert. While we're at it, we'll point to some things to make the non-work, non-sleeping hours more enjoyable. That may mean you have to read a book, but you can handle it.

You’ve got the clothes. You’ve got the bod. You’ve got the cool car. You’ve got a cool place. But underneath it all, you’re a selfish, lazy, immature, miserable sack of sh..!! Whoa, sorry, got a little carried away there! Caught myself channeling my wife! Let’s try this again. What I’ve learned is that all us guys have innate guy-traits that our women love. We also do a few things from time to time that compel her take a trip out to the firing range for a little target practice before they get all Phil Spector on our asses. Be Better Guys believes it is our responsibility, as fellow guys, to inform you of what you do that she hates, what women crave to fix about guys and what you can do to fix it yourself ahead of time before she calls you selfish, lazy, immature and miserable. And then snubs you in the sack. That is, if you even care. |

Never underestimate the power of a handwritten note. I received one from a Supreme Court Justice, thanking me for inviting him to a conference I was working on. He didn’t come, but he wrote a heart-felt note, expressing his interest in the topic matter, and his desire to stay informed. His politics and mine don’t mesh, but I was touched by the note and have regarded him differently ever since. That’s the power of a handwritten note: it conveys a humanity that even partisan politics can’t deny. |

If you're mixing cocktails – the key word being cocktails – you'll need
a cocktail shaker. Stainless steel is more forgiving than glass or
plastic and looks good. Now, offer her something besides Chex Mix.
