SENSATIONAL NEW AUTHOR DAZZLES READERS WITH LANDMARK BOOK REVEALING THE COMMON MAN'S APPROACH TO SELF WORTH AND RELATIONSHIPS.

MEN-OR-PAUSE, BY BARRY S. MCLEOD, REDEFINES THE FOCUS ON THE MIRROR FOR ANY LEVEL OF SOCIETY.

"When a person attempts to make a relationship work without facing the mirror, they have prolonged the inevitable" says Barry S. McLeod -- a soft-spoken, humorous man with a serious nature. In this case, the inevitable is either happiness or disaster. From his experience and extensive study, he has found that people who have had a taste of disaster are often times more willing to share information about their own experiences than the other. A very common question has come from many of them . . . "Does anyone else go through this?" It is virtually impossible for the average adult to not know of this disaster at least once in a relationship. And yet, it is so amazing that many still do not realize that social status has absolutely nothing at all to do with it. Happiness and disaster is a thing of nature where no one is exempt. Men-Or-Pause stimulates and provokes thought, while expanding new horizons to explore, and at the same time, generates a well-deserved peace within. By the time the last page is read, happiness will be imminent and victorious.

Although Men-Or-Pause addresses issues that everyone deals with in some way ( and can relate to), the author has certainly catered to women. This is because women are indeed the driving force behind men, especially the successful ones. Unfortunately, women experience pain more than men and are in many cases, better communicaters. So when it comes to love and relationships, women are true leaders, while many of them never see it this way. And there is a good explanation why: Many never consider the best part of the mirror. Real beauty exist on the inside, and is often held hostage by the exterior. In order for it to become free, a variety of challenges must be met. These challenges are merely perspectives, or peices of the puzzle (if you will), that when put in its proper place, opens the lock to freedom. Happiness will then command dominance.

Barry spent the majority of his early adult life being a typical bachelor. When he grew tired of the race, he withdrew, walked the aisle, and presented the ring. "I was very proud of doing the most major thing in my life!" he says. When divorce took it all away, he resorted to what he already knew. But each day his conscience reminded him that he truly had a heart; and loneliness always came to play. He had been studying the "ins and outs" of relationships but found himself delving even more intensely into it. He wanted desperately to make some real sense out of the reasons for success and failure in relationships. It wasn't enough to know that social status had nothing to do with it, because he wanted to offer a cure -- or at the very least, hope. His desires and goals were magnified when his daughter was born. The beauty of this miracle has permanently inspired change in his heart, and zonked him into making his most gallant effort to come clean with himself. He decided to write Men-Or-Pause as a book of knowledge for his daughter to cherish and utilize when the time is right for her to consider the world of relationships and love. This way, she gets it straight from the one man who she can always trust, daddy. He decided later to share this information with the world.
