Summary

For years after college, Max Gross was a schlubby ne'er-do-well sporting an unwieldy Jewfro. He fought off double-chins and man-boobs. His style of dress was reminiscent of a stoned urban slacker. Young Max Gross truly was hapless in a big city. He was seemingly without luck or hope. He had bedbugs, a bad break-up, and an audit by the IRS that threatened to break his soul. But he had heart (as well as two nagging parents). When Gross saw the smash comedy Knocked Up, he realized his day might have arrived.All these years of being a world-class schlub would finally pay off. Thinking quickly, Gross wrote an article about the phenomenon and soon found true love. In this hilarious memoir-cum-guidebook, our curly-headed hero shares his story and offers suggestions on leaving home (the bedbugs and consequent breakup forced a move back to his parents' loving arms), losing weight (but not too much), dressing well, playing poker to fulfill the typical schlub obsession with being good at sports, and much more. Naturally, the quest to find the right woman is of critical importance, and Gross expounds on this thoroughly. Readers will come away from the book enlightened, informed, and laughing hysterically.

You’re tired of feeling like “the bad guy” all the time but nagging and yelling seems to be the only way you can get your kids to do anything.

How am I supposed to get my kids to listen when they don’t even have a clue I’m talking to them until the 3rd time I say their name? 
How can I stay calm when I get angry and frustrated over the tiniest things and it just sneaks up on me? 
How do I stop the yelling when it’s the only way my kids know that I’m serious? Nothing else works! 
I know how hopeless and frustrating it can feel when you've tried so much but nothing changes. 
Without guidance and support, it can be difficult to make any progress at all!

    Lilith - The First Eve -...

    In a fascinating excursion through the history of her myth, Siegmund Hurwitz presents and interprets the ancient dark-winged goddess Lilith, also known as ’the first Eve.’ 
The author’s extraordinarily meticulous study of the original sources brings to light a striking figure long lost from our awareness, yet highly relevant to a psychological understanding of today’s evolving masculine and feminine identities. 
Case material from his analytical practice imbeds Lilith in the everyday problems of contemporary life. 
 
"That an unbridled life-urge which refuses to be assimilated lies behind depression… seems to me to be a new and important discovery. By combining the experience of a contemporary man with this historical material, Siegmund Hurwitz sheds new light on both." -- From the Foreword by Marie-Louise von Franz
