Dr. Pat Allen Helps Chris Chaput's Second Chance at Love!
Pat guest-starred on another television episode, TV Land Channel's new series "First Love Second Chance" (Wednesdays at 10pm). In this story, middle-aged skateboarder Chris tracks down his old flame, former carefree California girl Hollis and asks Dr. Pat Allen for some pointers on not botching things this time. You see, as teenagers the two fell head over heels in love, but the relationship hit the rocks when Chris couldn't resist the temptations that came with celebrity.
When the pair is reunited 25 years later, Hollis is now a professional writer while Chris is still into his skateboarding but has sobered up to adult responsibilities and feels willing to make a commitment. Pat "couples counsels" and offers her keen insights as the pair explore new aspects of their relationship to see if it deserves a "second chance." Watch the full "Chris and Hollis" episode...

Dr. Pat Allen & Don Schmincke's New Book Exposes
The Science Behind How Men Think About Sex and Dating!
WARNING: This book will invade your comfort-zone. It was rejected by three top literary agents and dozens of publishers for being too controversial, edgy, or conflicting with current socially accepted norms. Don originally had to adopt a pseudonym for self-protection from threats from enraged females. But the material is unrefutable, based on over 300 of the latest scientific research studies on how our species mates.
If you're a woman, you may wind up throwing it across the room in disbelief; yet it has delighted all males who've read it. Most have declared it the most factual book on male-female relationships ever written. And it espouses basic principles that when applied, both men and women found superior in producing successful and lasting relationships.
If you want to learn The Truth About Men, it'll probably tick you off at first...but it will definitely set you free. (You may want to plan to read this book with a guy just so you can keep asking, "Is that how you think?")
Better than The Secret, "THE ANSWERS from Dr. Pat Allen" DVD is the first-ever collection of her
insights, philosophies and principles on how to create, improve and preserve personal relationships, based on her experience of over 30 years of practicing couples counseling,
her weekly jam-packed seminars, weekend workshops, and various appearances on TV and
radio.

Get Your FREE Copy of a Classic Book on the Psychology of Success
Dr. Pat Allen says, "When a man had a stable home life, he could 'go for it' outside the home and conserve his libido for making money," and that Napoleon Hill explained how a man has limited energies, which will take him to the bed, or to the bank. Now, the publisher of this classic book she often refers to is generously allowing us to offer you a FREE PAPERBACK EDITION sent direct from the publisher.
Think And Grow Rich explains the secret of true and lasting success, how you may have whatever you want in life. This is the Master Mind Principle: two or more persons working together in complete harmony toward a mutual goal or goals.
Pat has based part of her Theories of Communication on Napoleon Hill's philosophy of How to Recognize, Relate, Assimilate and Apply Principles to achieve any goal that doesn't violate Universal Law — the Law of God and the rights of your fellowman, and how to use the Energy of Sex to transform mediocrity into genius. Remember, it takes only 30 days to rewire your brain to cultivate a good habit. "We first make our habits and then our habits make us."
