Dr. Argo Masters, a psychotherapist in NYC, has just finished with his last patient for the day when he discovers a prospective client in his waiting room. It's late but he decides to see him. From the first instant of the intake he senses something is very different. When asked how he heard about Argo, the mysterious visitor provides details indicating an unexplainable level of knowledge. The client speaks obliquely about his personal history until finally, when pressed, stating that he is Satan. Argo takes this as clear evidence of psychosis, but his new client has anticipated this and works cleverly to dispel that notion. By the end of the session, Argo is no longer sure. Everybody has a price. Although Argo has scant interest in wealth or fame, he possesses an unquenchable passion for spiritual knowledge. His new client knows this and offers glimpses into domains heretofore beyond human access. In spite of his hunger to explore this unimaginable resource, he cannot proceed until he obtains answers to key questions. Is he dealing with Satan or a fantastically delusional psychotic? What ethical basis exists for treating Satan? What could be so troubling that the most intractable rebel in all of history would seek a therapist's couch? Who would supervise his treatment, and keep him from losing all perspective? Most importantly, would he be writing his own ticket to hell? As the work progresses it becomes clear there is a larger drama unfolding. Satan sees a world where evil abounds, but most of it no longer bears his brand. He explains how he has been pushed into the background. His new client is more troubled than he realizes, and Argo must walk a tightrope where one misstep could cost him his life. Argo works very diligently to distinguish the source of his client's angst, and discovers the contours of the stark vision that haunts him.…

My husband keeps undermining my diet. My wife keeps nagging me to exercise. I want to be healthier, but I can’t do it on my own!
First comes love, then comes marriage . . . then comes a larger pant size? Many couples find themselves gaining weight as they settle into a relationship, but some couples manage to buck this trend. They exercise (together or separately), they support each other’s healthy eating habits, and their relationships are stronger as a result. What are their secrets?
It turns out that many of us are ignoring the most powerful tool we have to help us get healthier and stay healthier—our spouse or significant other. For more than twenty years, Drs. Thomas Bradbury and Benjamin Karney, codirectors of the Relationship Institute at UCLA, have been studying how couples communicate around these issues, witnessing firsthand how partners can help (and hinder) one another’s progress toward better health. In Love Me Slender, they identify the specific principles that successful couples use in their quest to improve their health. Learn:
Why reassurance and praise can actually backfire when you’re trying to change your partner’s habits—and what to say instead.
What your spouse can tell you (that no one else can) to shift your attention toward your long-term health goals.
How even if only one partner resolves to become healthier, both partners will benefit.
How to nudge your partner toward a healthier lifestyle in subtle, effective ways—without them even noticing it.
Featuring self-assessments and case studies from real couples working to stay healthy together, Love Me Slender is an eye-opening, uplifting guide to changing the dynamic of your relationship and improving your health—and the health of those you love most.
