Wendy N. Lapidus-Saltz's Articles in Uncategorized Show All|Display Category|Title|Newest|Oldest Smoker’s Prayer I am a nonsmoker and much of my work is dedicated to helping smokers become nonsmokers, but my father Julius Saltz smoked from the age of 11 until his death at 74. This article is written in his honor and in his spirit, as I recall our conversations about smoking. It is based on what I think he would have thought, felt, and believed had he lived long enough to see smokers shut out and vilified as they are today. May we all learn to abhor the habit and, yet, love the people... How To Get A Man To Quit Smoking It’s my job to hypnotize people to stop smoking.

So if you’d like to know how to help a man make the decision and take the actions to stop smoking, you’re in the right place. But you need to understand some things first: 1. Men Vs. Women Smokers Many of my smoking ce... Make Your Hypnosis Session Worth Five Times The Cost You’ve been curious about hypnosis for a while. Then one day you made an appointment. Or you’re considering it. If you choose your hypnotist or hypnotherapist well, a hypnosis session can do more for you than help with your current issue. First-time clients ask me how to benefit most from their session. I want to do more. I want to help you make your session five times as valuable. Being informed and avoiding “first-timer’s nervousness” are a good start. First: Stop wor... The Dirty Secret About Romantic Movies And Your Love Life For most of us, especially women, the simple act of watching a romantic movie can change our mood. Especially if the movie is well crafted, with an attractive and appealing leading man and leading woman. (By the way, for most women viewers, the female star is infinitely more important than the male.) If the acting and the story are strong, and the actors appealing, the film creates an effect on us, even if we are not consciously aware of it. This effect can last for months... 3 Secrets To Make You The Savviest Woman Alive Some women think they know their men because A) men are direct, and B) directness makes them infinitely knowable. If the first statement were true, the second might be as well. But neither absolute statement is true. If you’re a smart woman, you instinctively know that. Secret 1: Men are not direct—or logical—no matter what they claim. That is, some men are and some men are not, and not all the time. Besides, directness doesn’t necessarily make someone knowable. Men may... Does The “Smoker Personality” Resist Common Stop-Smoking Approaches? If you’re a smoker, and people around you know it, you’re probably barraged by demands to stop. Some are caring and kindly. Others abrasive, even disgusted. Do the people you love quote scary facts and figures at you? Does it make you want to stop? No? Thought so. Or maybe you yourself want to stop smoking. You may even be heard to say that you desperately want to stop smoking. Uh-oh. Desperation may make it harder to stop. So is there no way out?

Just a bit selfish. And, more than that, convenient. You see, if you were... Could Your Love Life Benefit From Kaizen? What is Kaizen? A drug, an herb, or a hot, new sexual technique? None of the above, yet it can change how you handle your love life. Kaizen is a concept used in Japan’s most successful companies, and it involves the philosophy of making small changes continuously.

There’s a time in almost everyone’s life when it happens: someone you care about breaks up with you. Sometimes it comes out of the blue. Other times, you knew it was coming. Well, at least deep down.
