Advice Goddess Radio: Tonight, 7-8pm PT, 10-11pm ET: Stop Calling Him Honey...And Start Having Sex
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in science.
This week's guest is a rare non-scientist, Maggie Arana, but I'm making an exception because I think her book has tremendous value.
Her book, which she co-authored with Julienne Davis, is Stop Calling Him Honey...and start having Sex! How Changing Your Everyday Habits Will Make You Hot For Each Other All Over Again.
She and her co-author talked to hundreds of men and women, over a period of several years, and figured out the bad habits people get into that kill their sex lives and transform them from lovers to roommates.
Maggie will detail all of that on the show, and I promise you, listening to this show will help you mend your ways...all the way to a hotter sex life.
(Or, if you aren't in a relationship, she'll help you avoid killing your sex life once you get one!)

And don't miss last week's show with journalist Paul Tough, author of the terrific book, How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character
It turns out that we (and educators) have clung to numerous myths about how intelligence and success and how to develop successful, hardworking, and ultimately happy kids who will carry those qualities into adulthood.
I don't usually have journalists on my show, but this is a meticulously reported and exhaustively researched book that shows that the qualities that matter most in flourishing in school and life are things like "grit," curiosity, and character -- which breaks down into skills like perseverence, conscientiousness, and self-control.
On the show, Tough talks about the techniques that researchers, doctors, teachers and school administrators have learned fail kids and what it takes to help kids build the character it takes to succeed.
This is a not-to-be-missed hour for anyone who has kids or anyone interested in the latest research on intelligence, creativity and success.

Aw C'mon... There are plenty of loving, deeply sexual people who call each other "Honey."

I am one of them.
I don't agree with this part of their book. But, we'll talk about that on the show.
If you're with a guy-guy (which I am), calling him honey isn't going to transform him into a baby bunny.

Nor is it meant to...

When we started dating, my hubby called me "Love" and asked that I do the same for him. It's a nice little reminder and makes me feel all warmandfuzzy, plus it shows the rest of the world the fact that he's not afraid to show how we feel for each other.

(I love that he's a man of few words, but just the right words.)

I guess the point of the book title is to not fall into the trap of confusing surface expressions of endearment for actual intimacy. And besides, were I'm from, "honey" is how the waitress addresses you.
