Words From The Wise

Looking for a good self help book on dating or how to land a relationship with that girl you've had your eye on? Based on experiences from recess on the playground, new author Alec Greven offers you just that with his book "How to Talk to Girls."

9 year old Alec Greven wrote his book when only 8 years old. His genius idea for his publication started from a class assignment in his 3rd grade classroom. Alec and his classmates were told to write about whatever they wanted. Inspired by his classmates and the awkward gender interaction he chose to write about girls and how boys can make it in the dating world with confidence.

 

While out on recess, Alec Greven observed other boys trying their best efforts at romance. All he could see was repeated failure and rejection for his fellow male classmates. Watching their not so smooth moves, he compared them to what the girls did give a positive reaction to. He took notes of all the things that the majority of the girls really responded to that would lead to success of getting a girlfriend (even if only temporary). According to his results, you may be better off sticking with the cute girl next door rather than the popular pretty girls.

 

"Sometimes you get the girl to like you. Then she ditches you. Tip: about 73% of the regular girls ditch boys. 98% of pretty girls ditch boys. Life is hard, move on." Alec told KSPR News.

 

Alec made an appearance on the TODAY Show and sat down for an interview with Meridith Vieira. Alec told Meridith "They were having a lot of trouble getting girls to like them, so I wanted to write a book to kind of help them" in response to how his homework assignment developed into a book. Alec has also appeared on The Ellen Degeneres Show and CNN as well as local news stations in Colorado where he lives with his family to speak about his new book.

 

In addition to being a great way for a smart 9 year old to make an early retirement, Alec isn't choosing to keep all the profits to himself. Alec Greven has partnered up with the Stand Up to Cancer Foundation and a part of his royalties are donated to help further cancer research. This young author with a big heart has set a goal of $100,000 to reach for donation from royalties from "How to Talk to Girls." Well on his way, his school reported that at their student book fair, his book was the top selling book hands down. To take part in the Stand Up to Cancer Foundation donations or to just get your own copy to polish up on your girl getting skills you can find the book at Amazon.

 

"How to Talk to Girls" is a 48 page illustrated book that includes several chapters. Inside you will find helpful chapters such as "The Facts of Life," "There is a Girl for Every Boy," How to Get a Girls Attention," "What to Say to Girls," and "Success."
