This book on Evolutionary Psychology is a Winner!

This book tells it like it is; Survival of the strongest, and prettiest. We do judge a book by its cover when it comes to human behavior. Well-researched. Uses very recent data from the emerging Evolutionary Psychology movement. McCusker preaches body-building as one way for men to reach their full physical potential. He also urges men to reach their maximum intellectual level. I have taught myself over 20 languages, and I find this part of his message particularly inspiring.Refreshingly explicit on Sex and other issues. What is most amazing is that the author is a Gay Man yet displays a remarkable understanding of heterosexual relationships. Also, honest and detailed description of what organized religion, particularly Christianity and the Catholic Church have done to destroy the human spirit over thousands of years. This book has a lot in common with Gene Simmon's Sex Money Kiss. If you liked that bestseller you will find much in this book to be very worthwhile, as well.Cover art could be improved a bit.

A self-help guide written especially for men

From Dweeb To Adonis: The Complete Guide To Manly Excellence by Peter H. McCusker is a self-help guide written especially for men, and about improving one's life through honing one's self-esteem, intellect, appearance, health, love life, and sex life. Examining the impacts that one's upbringing and childhood have on learning how to play the game of life, From Dweeb To Adonis offers some rather iconclastic advice (such as trying cigarettes or other unhealthy practices only once), yet overall offers an in-depth view in the factors that contribute to the formulation of personality, habits, routine, and all aspects of daily life as well as how that life can be improved. From Dweeb To Adonis is an original, "user friendly" advisory which is quite well written, and a commendable addition to self-help, self-improvement reading lists for a male readership.
