Broderick cheats on SJP – no surprise?

Broderick cheats on SJP no surprise

Broderick cheats on SJP – no surprise

Sex and the City fans across the globe might be shocked by the claim that hubby Matthew Broderick cheated on his wife, Sarah Jessica Parker, but it comes as no surprise to one expert who says there are huge parallels between this alleged betrayal and the Christie Brinkley divorce. 

“The male ego is huge yet fragile: Few men can handle a woman who has more power, more money and more fame than them” says Patrick Wanis PhD, Human Behavior Expert and Celebrity Life Coach. “While Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker might have been New York’s favorite couple and a powerful one at that, Parker is the face of New York and is much more popular and influential than husband Broderick. Men who marry women who are tremendously successful often feel emasculated. Society has written the script that the man is the financial provider and the woman is supposed to be subservient, serve him and depend on him. Today, in the 21st century, the roles are changing but the effect is still destructive for the male ego and the men seek sexual conquest as a way to reclaim their power.”  Continue reading “Broderick cheats on SJP – no surprise?” »

Carrie Bradshaw never had it so bad.

Sarah Jessica Parker, star of ” Sex and the City,” apparently was cheated on by hubby Matthew Broderick, who was cavorting around Manhattan with a 25-year-old youth counselor, according to Star magazine.

 The report said Broderick dated the unnamed woman for four months — around the time Parker was filming the “Sex and the City” movie — after meeting her at a Manhattan bar last November.

How to remove stress from your life – Part 2 – 5 tips

Removing stress Part 2

Removing stress Part 2

In this week’s Success Newsletter, I would like to reveal another five powerful strategies to help you lower and remove stress from your life. 

 

First a quick update:  

 

*****         “Anti-depressants cause deaths, suicide and murder.”America is the most medicated nation in the world. In 2005, 118 million prescriptions were issued for antidepressants. According to psychiatry, depression is a mental illness – a chemical imbalance in the brain, an organic neurological disorder. Does that mean that as many as a hundred million Americans have something wrong with their brain? Listen to my interview with Psychiatrist Peter Breggin, author of “Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications.” Dr Breggin reveals that there is no scientific evidence that depression is a chemical imbalance. www.patrickwanis.com/RadioInterviews.asp  

 

In my Success Newsletter “How to remove the stress from your life” http://patrickwanis.com/blog/how-to-remove-stress-from-your-life/ I listed three steps to lower and remove stress in your life: 1. Simplify – determine what are the priorities in your life and what is unnecessary; 2. Change your perception – view life as exciting and challenging; 3. Stop trying to be right, stop trying to control and change, and stop seeking the approval of other people.

Dad plays role in teen girls’ behavior

Dad plays role in teen girls behavior

Dad plays role in teen girls’ behavior

St Petersburg Times

By Ernest Hooper, Metro Columnist
In print: Wednesday, July 23, 2008

I don’t want to talk to my daughter about sex. Ever.

I just want to sit on the porch with a shotgun and chase the boys away.

But it’s not that simple for fathers, says Patrick Wanis, a Miami human behavior expert who has a doctorate in health psychology, human behavior and hypnosis.

In 2006, teen pregnancies rose for the first time in 15 years, and Wanis states in bold terms that the increase can be blamed on absent fathers and fathers who fail to play an active role in bringing up their daughters.

Studies from researchers at the University of Arizona, University of Texas-Austin and Wake Forest University all indicate girls who have positive relationships with their fathers wait longer to have their first sexual encounter.

Is there a Joker in all of us?

Friday, July 18th, 2008

Is there a Joker in all of us

Is there a Joker in all of us?

Heath Ledger’s The Joker may have just stolen the show in the Batman film: The Dark Knight. But why are we so fascinated by villains and evil characters?

 

“There is a dark side in all of us. Good and evil exist in all of us, and often they are in conflict” according to Patrick Wanis PhD, Human Behavior Expert and Clinical Hypnotherapist. “In our daily life, we try to deny the evil or dark side in us, while on screen, a movie creates the vehicle where we can relate and play out some of our deeper subconscious emotional tendencies –even the bad ones.”

 

Wanis says “The human brain consists of three parts – its stem is known as the Reptilian Brain – which holds five core ruling emotions: love, lust, hate, fear and pleasure. We are often trying to escape the dark side, the villainous, hateful urges in all of us -The Joker.”

 

“In the movie: The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger portrays The Joker as a gritty, psychopathic, cold-blooded murdering clown with no empathy, a maniacal sadist with no conscience. As Batman battles villain The Joker (and sometimes the villain within himself), the movie also represents our own internal battle between good and evil. In other words, we all have the capacity to commit good and evil and this has been proven in psychological behavioral research studies as well as real life stories.”

 

“It’s not an easy pill to swallow to admit that we feel enthralled and even liberated by some of the evil deeds of on screen villains . And although it seems The Joker might steal the show, this is not the first villain that has caught our attention and resonated with mass audiences: the evil Darth Vader not only fights “The Force” –the power of good, but like The Joker, he instills and controls via fear. Maybe that explains why sometimes we relate and almost root for the villain over the hero, be it The Wicked Witch of the West, The Terminator, Catwoman or Star War’s Palpatine.”

How to remove stress from your life

How to remove stress from your life

In this week’s Success Newsletter, I would like to share with your powerful strategies to help you lower and remove stress from your life. 

 

First a quick update:  

 

****·         “Secrets to losing weight, being thin and loving your body.” My 3 CD set from a live presentation and workshop is out now. And no, it’s not about food or exercise!    http://patrickwanis.com/Weight-Loss-Hypnosis.asp     


  **** “Barrack Obama, bad parenting and lies.” Barrack addressed the NAACP convention in Ohio and says it’s time for personal responsibility and better parenting. Obama says parents have to take responsibility, provide “direct guidance to children and “that what makes them a man is not the ability to have a child but to raise one.” Listen to my interview with Scott Sloan of 700WLW when I also reveal why dads are to blame for rising teen pregnancies. www.patrickwanis.com/RadioInterviews.asp  

 

Now let’s talk about ways to lower and remove stress in your life. Here are three steps of eight that I teach in my new live 3 CD set: “Secrets to losing weight, being thin and loving your body” available for you now: 

“I’d like to begin by sharing an insight with you that I had when I was just eighteen years of age. And this is a principle to which I lived by to this day. As I stood on the platform of the train station, waiting for the morning train to go to high school, I thought about the train ride, about how stressed everyone is. “Everyone’s rushing to get to work on time, and everyone seems to be rushing to go to places that they don’t even really want to be.” And in that moment I had a revelation: “In our modern, western society, we spend all of our health getting our wealth. And then we spend all of our wealth trying to get back our health.” So in that moment, I made a conscious choice, a conscious decision to always put health first. So let’s talk now about how to be healthy: How to remove stress from your life.  

 

 

Step number one: Simplify.

Dads to blame for teen pregnancies rising

Dads to blame for teen pregnancies rising

Dads to blame for teen pregnancies rising

Teen pregnancies rose in the United States for the first time in 15 years and more youth offenders ages 12 to 17 were involved in serious violent crimes. And according to one human behavior expert, dads are to blame!  


“Parents need to realize that father absence is the overriding risk factor in for early sexual activity and adolescent pregnancy”, says Human Behavior Expert and Clinical Hypnotherapist Patrick Wanis PhD. “The less dads are around and the more women are forced to become single mothers and raise daughters on their own, the more continued higher rates of teen pregnancies we are going to see.”
 

“Study after study shows that dads need to be actively involved in raising their children and specifically their daughters. In one study done over 15 years, a total of 820 girls were followed for their entire childhoods, from before kindergarten to approximately age 18 and it was found that ‘father presence was a major protective factor against early sexual outcomes, even if other factors were present. In other words, mom can’t be expected to raise kids or daughters on her own” says Wanis. Continue reading “Dads to blame for teen pregnancies rising” »

Why men want women to cook for them

Why men want women to cook for them

Why men want women to cook for them

In this week’s Success Newsletter, I would like to ease some of the controversy and reveal the real reasons why men want women to cook for them.  

 

First a quick update:  

 

  • “Revenge is destroying Christie Brinkley.” Listen to the radio interview I gave to Bob and Sherri’s nationally syndicated show: Celebrity supermodel Christie Brinkley chose to go public about the sordid affair her husband Peter Cook had. Why? Is Christie Brinkley being driven by revenge and payback over her humiliating betrayal by her husband? Will Brinkley’s move harm her and her children as hatred, bitterness and revenge take over and consume her? Are Brinkley’s emotions of anger, hurt and revenge justified? I also point out the irony that her husband betrayed his wife Brinkley, a woman made famous for youth and beauty, by cheating with another girl full of youth and beauty. www.patrickwanis.com/RadioInterviews.asp

 

Now let’s talk about the controversial topic of what men and women want and why men want women to cook for them.  

It’s often a hot topic of debate- what do men want? What do women want? Can we understand the other gender? Can we ever please them? Of course, media and society generally enjoy portraying the woman as the more difficult of the two genders to comprehend and work out. There is no doubt that generally women have more depth than most men – in the sense that they have a far wider range of needs and desires than men who are often portrayed as simpletons. (Some predominant feminine qualities include sensitivity, intuition, perception and nurturing. And incidentally, based on studies of the human brain, women can actually successfully multi-task. Men just think they can. Sorry guys!)  

In my book, “What a woman wants” I use a joke to illustrate a point:    Continue reading “Why men want women to cook for them” »

Revenge is destroying Christie Brinkley

Revenge is destroying Christie Brinkley

Revenge is destroying Christie Brinkley

Celebrity Christie Brinkley chose to go public about the sordid affair her husband Peter Cook had, but is that move backfiring? 

“Christie Brinkley is out to get more than just custody of the children – she is out to get revenge and revenge is the most destructive emotion we can choose to express and in Brinkley’s case it will harm her, her children and sway public opinion against her” says author of “Get the man you want!”, Human Behavior Expert and Life Coach Patrick Wanis PhD. 

“Brinkley had the chance but she opposed a move by the legal guardian for her children that would have closed the proceedings to the public. She wanted the whole world to know everything – the intimate details of her estranged husband Peter Cook’s affair with the teenager and the intimate details of their 10-year marriage. But dirty laundry and turning into a bitter scorned woman can consume you, overpower you and turn the world against you as was the case with Paul McCartney’s ex-wife, Heather Mills.”  Continue reading “Revenge is destroying Christie Brinkley” »
