THE THUMBS DOWN METHOD. Get ready for some out-of-the-box thinking for improving your golf game. You probably never thought of Thumbs Down as a positive thing, but now it is. In fact, this negative expression is the best thing that ever happened to your golf game. It's not just another gimmick! Making a Thumbs Down motion while striking the golf ball squares the club and provides a power booster to your existing swing. Without trying to kill the ball, Thumbs Down releases the club and magically puts you in the correct finishing position. Good putters use their Thumbs for feel, also to visualize the line. Use your Thumbs to improve your ball striking too. Lower scores are not a guarantee; They are the natural results!

She wasn't sure what she should do. She knew she loved Uncle Joey and that he loved her in a very special way. Why would this be happening to her if she was so special? Kelly enjoyed being treated special by Uncle Joey until the day he asked her to keep a secret. Then he touched her in her swimming suit area. In her latest release, Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down, author Joyce Holton Crawford accurately portrays the feelings of confusion, sadness, and fear that Kelly feels when Uncle Joey touches her. She has promised to keep the secret, but feels completely empty inside. What will she do? Will she confide in someone she can trust or will she keep Uncle Joey's secret forever? Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down is an excellent opportunity for discussion between parents and children about the basics of child abuse and offers hope to those who have already been victimized. Discover what happens to Kelly and start a healing dialogue with the children in your life. Thumbs Up should be in every child's classroom. It covers a very sensitive issue in a way that allows a child to process a potentially harmful situation. The greater good is that the story may end abuse before it begins in one child's life.

An essential look at the love language of texts, helping you decipher the personalities of online daters, the subtle signals from your romantic partner, and the red flags hiding in plain sight. "Don't even think of swiping right again until you read this book.” (Christie Tate, author of Group) When it comes to modern relationships, our thumbs do the talking. We swipe right into a stranger's life, flirt inside text bubbles, spill our hearts onto the screen, use emojis to convey desire, frustration, rage. Where once we pored over love letters, now we obsess over response times, or wonder why the three-dot ellipsis came . . . and went. Nobody knows this better than Dr. Mimi Winsberg. A Harvard- and Stanford-trained psychiatrist, she cofounded a behavioral health startup while serving as resident psychiatrist at Facebook. Her work frequently finds her at the intersection of Big Data and Big Dating. Like all of us, Winsberg has been handed a smartphone accompanied by the urgent plea: "What does this mean?" Unlike all of us, she knows the answer. She is a text whisperer. Speaking in Thumbs is a lively and indispensable guide to interpreting our most important medium of communication. Drawing from of-the-moment research and a treasure trove of real-life online dating chats, including her own, Winsberg helps you see past the surface and into the heart of the matter. What are the hallmarks of healthy attachment? How do we recognize deception? How can we draw out that important-but-sensitive piece of information--Do you want kids? Do you use drugs? Are you seeing someone else?--without sending a potential partner heading for the hills? Insightful, timely, and impossible to put down, Speaking in Thumbs is an irresistible guide to the language of love. With wit and compassion, Winsberg empowers you to find and maintain real connection by reading between the lines.
