Summary: The essential guide to social engineering
Review: I have given away every copy of this book I ever had - to computer security experts! The book explains the range of techniques that one can use to deliberately gain someone's trust by digging up private or semi-private information on them. Spies, private eyes, investigative journalists, etc., can all use the techniques, depending on how much they want to put on the line. Let's face it, most military secrets in the world were "sucked out" of the most trusted military leaders using exactly these methods: manipulation of social trust, deliberate setting-up of "coincidental" situations, small scale lies that exploit people's natural trust, etc.. Oh, yes, they're useful to marry the rich, too! When I was designing an internet dating system (webpersonals.com) i made some of my designers read this book. The women couldn't get enough of it, and it tended to make the men a little paranoid. But if there's even one Ginie Polo Sayles in the world, no one is safe! Better to know...!

Summary: Ways to find the right person without being a gold digger
Review: I saw Ginie Polo-Sayles on Oprah and decided to check out her book. She offers a lot of helpful advice on dating & maintaining relationships. I was relieved that she didn't focus on being a gold digger but chose to suggest options for self-improvement, finding the right person to fit your needs (not just financially) and becoming aware of who you are involved with. Since I come from a upper middle class background & so do most of my friends I have seen what happens to women when they date below their own economic class. People think it's just men who get stuck with financial burdens during divorces but that isn't true! Some of my friends have had horrible settlements paying their husbands during the divorce! One friend in particular had a man use her for money & connections then financially took her to the cleaners in the divorce. (No she didn't have a prenuptial agreement but she should have!) Checking out a man's background before getting married & watching for warning signs would have helped her avoid what happened to her. In her book Ginie points out how to check out the man you are dating to see if he is for real. She also has a section on pre-nuptial agreements which is useful to make sure you are protected. The key is to know what you want from a relationship & making sure it's mutually beneficial. Despite the title she's not telling you to use men to get what you want. Ginie tells you to figure out your needs & wants then find the right man with whom you can enjoy a lifelong relationship. Use this book as a resource to find 'Mr. Right' & be ethical about it. Don't let people tell you it's game planning because it's not. No one can't play a game forever and most people will be on their best behavior while dating regardless of whether they read this book or not. Adjusting your habits (especially bad habits), improving your appearance & dating behavior is just common sense when you are trying to find a lifelong partner. I would recommend this book to anyone who hasn't found the right person yet & wants to find someone to fit into their desired lifestyle.

Summary: Well it worked!
Review: I was bankrupt in 1994 but before moving from Los Angeles to the Silicon Valley I bought a copy of this book and went to her seminar. I never looked back. None of the reviews mentions the affirmations in the back of the book. They are the best I've ever seen. I just recorded them, played them in my "on it's last leg" vehicle and moved to San Francisco Bay area with a determination to change and raise my standards just like her book suggests. I took her advice and insisted on moving in a rich Palo Alto neighborhood (only rented a little room but in a million dollar neighborhood 3 houses from Steven Jobs house). In less than a month I met the women that I eventually married two years latter. Now I live in a 4 bedroom home, drive a Lexus (she has one too) and money is no longer an issue.
And what if I had listened to some of these 1 star negative review people listed below? I would have missed out on the love of my life! I never could have imagined love could be this good and I've spiritually grown in ways I never could have imagined.
I sent Ginnie a Christmas card that first Christmas we were married in 1997 and she replied that first year; "I am SO proud of you and your lovely bride". I continue to send her a card each year signed, "From a grateful student". Many times the picture of us is taken in places we have traveled in Europe that year; in front of the Eiffel Tower; On a goldola another year from Italy etc.
I changed my name from Danny to Daniel (an option she gives in the book). INSTANTLY I felt like a new person. Now the only one who still calls me 'Danny' is my sister ;).
Forget this golddigger stuff; raise your standards! 'rich' for you can be a house with a picket fence or an estate as she points out. Her chapter of "Temples of the Rich" took me to the Episcopal church in Beverly Hills; I met the a fellow there who is now my best friend. No, I did not find my bride there, but he was the one who suggested I move to the Silicon where he had recently moved to and THAT'S where I met her. And HE was my best man at our wedding! So it was all directly related to the things I did in her book.
Again, do not underestimate the affirmations. I swear that had a big part in the whole process. Here's one:
I, (You,) (He,) Daniel Leo Simpson am now ready and joyously accept the great and glorious good that is entering in my life.
Say that and several others (I did them all) as suggested for 21 days; just keep saying them. You'll start to change even if you don't realize it....
After we were married my clunker car went kaput; I was taking the thing to San Francisco to sell (I got $300 for it!) and while cleaning out the glove box found the tape I had made of those affirmations. What an incredible feeling to then a few weeks latter be playing them again but this time in a Lexus LS-400!
You can do this too. But you must make a DECISION to do so.

Summary: Delivers
Review: The best piece of advice in here actually helped me keep my job, AND walk away from a boyfriend! She says - don't ever totally lose your vices, just act like you are trying to, and lengthen the time between relapses, so your partner thinks you need him to help you get over it. As he sees the length of time between relapses increase, he will believe he is helping you, and that you appreciate his help. This goes for substance abuse, messiness, tardiness, etc. - anything! This helped me walk away from my ex because I realized that was what he was doing with me (unconsciously, in his case)! That's how I realized he was never going to totally give up his substance abuse problem. At my job, I didn't fix my occasional lateness because I realized, as long as I act contrite, my boss reacts in the way of all codependents, and feels sorry for me, and that we need each other! Of course, this is a basic characteristic of codependent relationships -- what I realized is, don't be afraid of it. This kind of thing is what keeps people together! Ha!

Summary: BEST BOOK I EVER READ
Review: The book actually changed my self-perception. It was referred to me by a psychiatrist who said the book was good Cognitive psychology for a positive relationship with myself and money and relationships. The message I got from Ginie Sayles in this book is that whether or not I decide to marry somebody with money is not the only point - one point is that if I meet somebody with money, I will feel equal - and now that I have read the book and put it into practice, I finally do feel equal. I really needed this.

Summary: Insights on how to manipulate a man.
Review: There is some useful information in this book on how to meet and associate with the rich. It is a good pep talk on how to ask for and expect great things in your life. I was very put off by the shallowness and manipulative nature of the author at times. Expect the best for yourself but use caution here. Good Luck
