Bottom of the Barrel Review

What was The New York Times thinking when they reviewed this book!

Harry Hurt III's Off The Shelf review of Nina DiSesa's book, Seducing the Boy's Club: Uncensored Tactics From a Woman at the Top left me dumb-struck and annoyed. All the more so because it was reviewed in the business section of The Times.

How could The New York Times even consider such a book for review?

The women over at The Thin Pink Line blog agree, "When a book as silly as DiSesa’s gets reviewed by The New York Times (even though it is not a good review) it is a bad thing for women."

Here are the two principal tactics advocated by DiSesa, according to Harry Hurt III:

• All the men in our lives -- the ones we work with or live with, admire or desire, and love or hate -- are easier to control if we master the Art of S. & M (seduction and manipulation).
  
  
• One of the greatest tools, or weapons, we have as women is flirting.

In a year when we have a strong woman running for President of the United States, DiSesa's book is more of a throw-back to an antiquated, powerless way of being, then well considered advice for women with a vision of integrity-based success.

Read Off The Shelf and see for yourself. Then let me know what you think. Agree? Disagree? Feel free to sound off!

When we really listen, words reveal much about the person speaking, and not much else. This is true of all of us.
