If you'd like some empowerment in the New Year forget you girlfriend's advice and check out these must read books for women instead. Instead of writing about trite New Year’s resolutions - lose weight, become healthier, or find love - I’ve decided to write a blog about 7 books that can change any woman’s life for the better. Not to say that losing weight, becoming healthier, and/or finding love are not excellent goals, but I think women could use a little something different.

I’ve been blogging and writing articles now for a couple of years, and I’ve noticed a clear trend – my articles about sex garner the most views and as such, money. For example my blog entitled “It is NOT the Republicans or Democrats” about the debt ceiling debacle and politics in general (which I think is really relevant and important) got only 189 views, while my blog entitled “How to Avoid the Common Mistakes Women Make in their Sex Lives” got 3,825 views. No surprise that sex sells, since companies and advertisers have been using sex to push products for decades.
