Activate 7 Masculine Powers to Arouse Your Woman's Love & Desire

I really liked the book , especially the different archetypes and would recommend it. My only gripe is the emphasis that a lot of these type of books have that women are these free emotional creatures that seem to be beyond responsibility and we just need to accept that and become something we are not to be loved. The author does have a lot of great points and I did enjoy reading it.

Truly excellent book! It really resonated with me and I think it will help me better understand my relationships with women. Karen goes into a lot of detail and presents many actual stories. I highly recommend it!

While in conversation, I use the phrase "life changing" too often, this book has really changed me. By consciously acting in new ways, I feel more confident. And after a week or so, I noticed the world reacting differently to me.

Essential reading for every thoughtful guy who wants to understand a little better about himself and the "magic and mystery" of women. I love women but have always gotten into certain traps in my relationships that have made me feel I am being "less of myself" in order to make her happy. This book, written by a very insightful female, helped me understand that not only is it okay to embrace certain qualities about myself that make me a man, but that women actually want that. It's not a "trick" book to figure out how to magically seduce woman. Although it does give insight to why that is possible. Seducing is easy. Haha. It's keeping a good woman that is hard!

As a tantra teacher and couples counselor, I now have a useful book to recommend. Karen writes clearly and beautifully and illustrates the ways a man can step into his masculine energy in a straightforward, easy-to-follow format. Should be required reading for ALL men!

Beware that the author specifically promises rewards to readers who write good reviews ON the store. Keep that in mind as you read other reviews. Also notice how almost every positive review has ONE up vote and almost every negative review has ONE down vote. Who is voting on every review, I wonder?

The writer appears to be the type of woman I tried very hard to avoid when I was dating. So, unexpectedly, this book has reminded me why I love my wife so much -- she's not like that type.

This is marketed to the male brain with the cover photo and words like "use your masculine power" but it is really about female power. If you've read one or two women's romance novels you know the type. All they have to offer is their incredible beauty, but they expect with that alone to capture the devotion of a man who is as powerful as a locomotive, yet put him to his knees worshiping her lofty and unique majesty while she quietly takes on the passive role of back seat driver. She wants things back the way they were when women were untouchable angels on a pedestal.

Page after page, chapter after chapter, she goes into great detail about all the things a man should be if he dares to imagine himself worthy of her glance. Indeed, she specifically says you must be ready to give your life for her, in which case she may deign to grant you a moment with her treasures. Who the hell does she think she is? The only female on the planet? Repeatedly she proclaims that if you can't be all these things she wants, perhaps you don't deserve any woman at all.

She knows a lot about relationships ... after all she's had quite a few ... but none of her men have met all her demands. Maybe you can, if you're willing to turn all your "masculine power" over to her dictates.

Well written with some good insights, but one should recognize the author is speaking about herself and her lovers. It is in no way applicable to ALL women or their tastes in men. I find the title to be misleading. Still, an interesting look into ONE woman's definition and response to masculinity.

This is a fantastic book. Every man should read it to understand his own masculinity. and every woman should also read it. Karen discribes to a tee what woman are looking for in a man's energy and how we look to a man to take us somewhere so we can relax and get in touch with our femininity. I will be recommending this book to all my life coaching clients, friends, my adult children and family.

Perceptive and nicely written. All men should read this book - they would benefit in understanding how most women perceive and operate in the world. Of course, there are some exceptions, but, in general - on the whole, this is how we would like our men to lead.....

Some of this makes sense. However, I mostly felt this was a good book for men who are trying to find faster ways to 'figure out what a woman wants' and then exploit that desire to get her into bed faster and use the woman's resulting desire for connection to manipulate her further in other ways. Maybe I'm just too jaded on that point. It is written in a breezy manner that total non-intellectuals should be able to follow. It does gather much disparate relationship information into one place. Men who actually do what a real relationship with a woman might find it useful and their women might begin to believe the man 'gets it' if the general psychology is applied to a specific woman. It might be a good book for couples to use together in some cases. I wish there was a bit more research rigor behind the writing, however.

Pop psychology book that tells about the author's sexual adventures. Purports to help men with women, but lacks balance, all "me" centered. Fails to address the spiritual aspects of intimate relationships. An interesting read, but too preachy to be of real use to a man seeking guidance. Doesn't respect the individuality of each person and help them to connect within for answers. How can a man be himself (who he came here to be) and also do all the things the author instructs him to do, to strive to be someone he is not?

I'm certain Ms. Brody is a caring, dynamite therapist who helps many people. When she learns more about spiritual essence and her own shadow/ego self (as evidenced in her biased writing), her books will be more helpful.

What Karen Brody is offering in this fantastic book is a glimpse into the feminine mind and soul. Yes, men and women are equal - but not the same. It's an important emotional journey for men to see the truth about the schematics and operating system inside feminine attraction, fear, connection, respect and desire for a man. As I tell the men I coach, this information is every bit as important as a computer troubleshooting guide or car repair manual. Knowledge creates confidence and sense of competence. If you are the kind of man who doesn't like flying blind, read the book and take the nuggets that makes sense to you. Then make the changes you want for you and nobody else. I guarantee that your life will change in more ways than with just women.

Never too old to learn something new especially about love. Familiar with some of the principles already but Ms. Brody presents everything in a clear precise manner I found effective. Above all her passion for her subject comes through on every page and it is contagious. If you're in a relationship, a must read and reread.

After living half a century, being raised by a woman, working my whole professional career surrounded by women, and a 3 decade marriage, there were things I knew I knew about women. There were many things I knew I didn't know or understand. Karen gave me within this book the ability to finally step back away from the chalk board and begin to see the larger picture. Much of what I had learned and observed over this life was limited by my self knowledge. In this book I found a great pulling back of the mysterious curtain I had never been able to grab a hold of. I can't tell you how revealing It has been to understand the way a woman sees and responds to the masculine qualities I had been blind to or only understood incompletely before. Through this book I have learned about myself things I wish I had known long ago, and more importantly, things I will long enjoy and learn from as each day comes. Thank you Karen for bringing light to the darkness I fought so long to understand and for revealing truths about male and female love and understanding. Thank you for doing it with compassion and informed truth. This is a book I will read more than twice and so should you. I have read books with seemingly similar intent all written by men, purporting to give us men insight into how to "get" women. These have not been without value, yet they lack the unique ability to see, understand, and explain the masculine impact on our relationships with women the way that Karen has done here. "Open Her" actually opens men. Read it and you will be ready for life change only awareness can unlock.

Aside from a few good tips - namely the vision quest - this book is BLUE PILL PROPAGANDA.

Karen repeatedly justifies the worse behaviors in women while demonizing all masculine behavior that doesn't 100% make a women feel like the queen of the universe. All her archetype chapters start with some literal superman of charisma sweeping frumpy dumpy karen off her feet and showing her disney-prince levels of magic that indulge every superficial feminine fantasy there is All the different archetypes are the same romance novel protagonist with different flavors and settings. I often wonder if this book was written from women to feel better about themselves, or to actually help men.

The most basic and fundamental red pill advice every many learns when it comes to social dynamics with feminine women is DO NOT LISTEN TO WOMEN. Karen is remarkable in this aspect, in that she seems strangely aware of all the inconsistencies and mental gymnastics women engage in to justify their more objectionable behaviors yet fully condones them while suggesting men are weak for not tolerating it. And by justification, I mean "muh feelings". In the Sage Chapter, Karen writes that it's ok for women to lie and act like children because they're feelings are too special - but men must be held accountable for the smallest of faults - their word is sacred bond. Yet, she also expects these men to treat these adult babies as just as powerful and respectable as men. How ridiculously convenient.

All of the "interactions" Karen has with men in this book, aside from reeking of pure fantasy-fulfillment fiction, are completely insane. Karen is literally a mary sue in all her supposed encounters - some whatever girl who magically attracts rich, powerful, handsome, masculine - yet perfectly sensitive - men to fall in madly in love with her. Never is it shown what karen is providing any of these men, be it the artist, director, sage, etc for falling so unrealistically in love with her except the fact she apparently is the only human on her version of planet earth with a vagina. The entire book seems to be this same fantasy of men being perfect servants to women while on the surface pretending that it is the opposite.

The Sage Chapter of the book summarizes all of this perfectly. Karen is dating a man with saint-like levels of patience and wisdom, and she blatantly disrespects him to his face by flirting with men in his face. This fictiious "sage" responds with the kind of cucked behavior you typically expect from the traditional western male feminist nu-male saying he will do anything to make Mary Su- I mean Karen Brody happy. Every chapter has a "dark bad bad" version of the archetype. What was the horrendous evil for the Sage archetype? A successful, handsome writer who is completely honest and up front with women about what he wants from Women at the start of the relationship - i.e. very casual. The women this man dates fall madly in love with him despite his complete transparency and cry foul when he is true to his words. Karen chastises this man by saying that a woman's feelings are too amazing to care about pesky things like having any sense at all and it's somehow his fault that women cannot act like functioning adults. She then not-so-subtely suggests for mr Evil Sage to compromise his desires and dreams because random women cry. Yet we are somehow supposed to believe that these women are also just AS GOOD AS THE BOYS. I want to throw up.

As i said above, this book has some shockingly practical advice in the end sections of the chapters. So much so that it seems a sane person came in and wrote it while karen was off getting wine'd and dined by Christian Grey - meets - Buddha. The vision quest on how a man's purpose is the most critical aspect to his being is right on the head. But you don't need to shift through a few hundred pages of brain cancer to understand this. There are better books. Do not support this kind of trash - these books are just undercover agents of the same agenda that has robbed men of all respect in this nation.

As a clinical psychologist who has struggled to help my single or divorced male patients learn about the strengths and weaknesses of how they approach women, Karen Brody's beautifully written work, dare I say, her Masterpiece (I've looked for other of her writings), is the vital, highly personal and very readable missing link I've been searching for. I've ordered several copies to give to patients and a few close friends, including some women patients, who I sense would learn about what they are looking for in men and what they have to offer women. I sincerely and highly recommend this original book to anyone interested in knowing, from a sensitive and obviously thoughtful self-aware woman's personal and professional perspective, the range of what it means to be a complete man in reciprocal relationship with a woman. If this inspired volume were around over a hundred years ago, Freud may have had a clue about what woman really wanted (my guess is that Jung already new)! In conclusion, I want to put Karen Brody on par with David Deida in terms of understanding, writing about and offering extremely useful hands on advice to men in relationship with the feminine. Bravo Karen Brody!!

I found Karen by googling a question about how to find out what women deeply want. What I got was a guide to understanding who I was as a man and how I can best have an incredible synergistic relationship. I am forever grateful for Karen and her work.

Karen has searched deeply into the male psyche and unearthed treasures of masculinity so often hidden from them.

With these in hand they stand tall, shine bright and women worldwide smile from
their innermost being.

i never write reviews but this book blew my mind. read it! its so on point and years ahead of its time for those who looking to navigate the future/and soon to be present post-post modern world of gender and sex. i can't say enough good about this. I love you Karen Brody! i love you so much. thank you. I often feel my masculinity under attack these days but this book is helping me weather the storm and unabashedly embrace my masculinity in its most raw form and also in its most sophisticated and loving.

I an effort to gain insight into fixing a sexless marriage I bought this book. It was a big mistake. The author who is a woman talks about her past relationships and what made each man great. All of her “experiences” kind of seemed fake to me. I read the first two chapters and threw it away. Her underlying message is good, basically don’t be a jerk and listen to women. I just didn’t have time for her love stories. If you are already married and having problems buy “my spouse wants more sex than me, the two minute solution” it will save your marriage. I wouldn’t waste my time with this book
