Naked!: How to Find the Perfect Partner by Revealing Your True Self

This is an excellent book. I agree with most of what the author, David Wygant, says in the book. He says that to have true meaningful relationships, one should be open and vulnerable. Another author of another book, Warren Farrell, in Why Men Are The Way They Are, also says that true intimacy requires revealing fears and vulnerabilities. In this book, David Wygant says that a lot of people put up walls that keep them from revealing their true selves to others. He says that you want to be able to pick the right person instead of just solely being picked. He says that you don't have to date somebody just solely for the sake of dating someone because you're afraid to be alone. That relationship isn't going to work. A relationship is a two-way street. Some couples stay too long in some relationships because they're afraid to leave even after they realize they're not meant to be. He mentioned about a lady that he knew that was afraid to even smile at a guy that she was attracted to in a public place because if she was rejected the fear of potentially having to be reminded of a very public rejection was too much of an emotional hurt to her. He indicated that often both men and women are afraid to approach a person in a public place business such as a restaurant, store, etc. because they feel that if they're rejected by the person they're attracted to, they would be embarassed at that place and have to find another business of that type to do business with. He says that a lot of online dating are the equivalent of single bars in the skies. David said that he'd rather go out with 10 women he thought he was being honest with than 100 women who were disappointed when he arrived. He said that the fear of being the last single person standing can be a very powerful motivator to get somebody in a hurry to get married and that could possibly be to the wrong person. In some of those cases, they might be better off if they were still single or married to another person.

I came across David's blog a couple of month's ago when I was searching for advice on a current dating situation. Everything about him, is straightforward and honest and when he announced his new book was coming out, I knew I wanted to get it. I even paid extra and ordered it from the U.S. since it wasn't going to be in Canada soon enough. I wasn't disappointed at all. Not only does David get raw and naked with his reader about his own experiences, he shares client stories of scenarios that I think many of us can relate to. But he takes it one step further and provides exercises for us to do, which I have been doing and it's made a huge difference on my outlook and approach to my dating life. If you're serious about dating whether it's getting started or finding a LTR, David's book breaks it down for you. He cuts through the crap, and gives you everything of himself to help you get off any painful and frustrating path you may be on right now.As a side note, I took this to the next level and have done some coaching with David, and the role playing exercises we did were breakthrough for me. I found my voice on areas in which I had a hard time speaking out on. I highly recommend some coaching or doing a boot camp. You get faster results. On his blog, people ask all the time, does this work, how long before I'll notice a difference. I can honestly say that you can have an impact same day. You need to believe in yourself that you're worth it and do what he tells you to do. If what you're doing now isn't working, stop repeating it and driving yourself nuts. That's just insanity. Stop wasting time or you'll regret it.

Hi, I love this book! He is telling people to be themselves and doesn't promote himself in the book like some others do. Very refreshing reading. He makes a person have hope and makes it simple. Be yourself/vulnerable/authentic and you will attract the right people. Naked means show your true self to others/don't hide who you really are or try to impress. No excuse/no try to change people. You need to act not just dream. No freak out/nervous/needy/no talk...just act your normal confident way. No talk to friends...talk to person you want to have a relationship with. Friend advise may not work since they don't know the people/situation or have good advise. Speak from the heart. You attract your mirror image. Be your best self, but true self. Would you be attracted to yourself? Project happy/sad? Fun? True self/Fake? No complain about the past...leave it in the past and learn or get stuck. Forgive. Be curious about the world/people. No assumptions. Love yourself first so can be happy. Tell the truth when not happy. No pretend/lie. Tell true feelings....like talk to an old friend. Clean up past...call/talk to them. What steps taken today to make life better/relationships better? So you really smile? Look in the mirror/video. People feel at home/safe/secure around you? No try to fix/rescue people. No compare yourself to others. Life is a journey. No limit self. Dreams? Wants? Needs? Dislikes/likes in relationships? What do you want in a relationship? Be willing to fail. Grocery store...ask a question..no pick up lines. Vulnerable/get to core/grow.This book hit home..made me cry thinking about my life. Pretending...need to be yourself. Can't fake it always. No be blinded by need/lust.

I really enjoy reading David Wygant's books because you feel as though he's actually talking to you. He's almost a guide giving you a lending hand and he's there to support you. This book can really make you look at the world a little differently, and feel better about yourself and other people. It's one of the best self-help books I have read. That's why I gave it 5 stars.

Good information but not much of it.

This book is well worth a read and is very readable.... there are lots of interesting and readily usable thoughts within

Everybody should read this incredible book it will change your life and live your own rules life for short don't afraid to take chances.
