Even smart women can be gaslighted by men who appear supportive in public but are belittling in private, after which, worse yet, they assert that you’re upset for no reason, that you’re simply imagining the verbal abuse and incremental death of your spirit. In He’s Just No Good for You, best-selling author Beth Wilson, with psychologist Dr. Maureen Hannah, zeroes in on the heart of the matter—women’s well-being and self-worth—and sets forth a clear vision of just what a healthy relationship looks like. She also instructs women of all ages on installing ...

There is only one of you, and everything about your appearance, your desires and your purpose is intentional. Before we were born, we each made a promise as to whom and what we would become on this earth. Encapsulated in your soul and hinted at during childhood, this Promise becomes more urgent as you age. Children express passionate emotions in every waking moment, but this passion is gradually buried under layers of expectations. You begin to call that passion a dream and create a life separate from your dream.Many of life's occurrences shine light into the soul's purpose: some are mystical; some part of everyday life; and some are traumatic. Your soul is revealed through telling your truth and recognizing when you are out of step with your real purpose. The difficulties we face as people on this planet have accelerated the urgency of recognizing our Promise.
