Bow Down: Lessons from Dominatrixes on How to Be a Boss in Life, Love & Work

Popular podcaster Lindsay Goldwert dives into what skilled Dominatrixes can show us about courage, authority, and satisfaction. Picture a universe where the conventional power structure is flipped upside down. Where ladies not only quit asking forgiveness, but seize - and savor - command. This is the swiftly popularizing BDSM realm (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism)- and it's got plenty to teach women about authority, deal-making, tolerance, and more. Lindsay Goldwert, amazed by the intense social transformation, traveled the US to interview the scene's superstars, who bantered freely with her about their lifestyles and jobs.

In this "lively, funny, thoughtful" channeling of wisdom (Sara Benincasa, author of Real Artists Have Day Jobs), these boss ladies reveal how to shift the power dynamic in any setting to get what you crave -- be it from a spouse, an employer, or a boo. They provide tactics for transforming not just your sex life, but career, connections, and most importantly, your inner being.

Sheathing yourself in bondage gear is no longer a faux pas in Hollywood, fashion, or leisure wear. Change the world with Bow Down-it'll give you the confidence to boss up both in bed and the workplace. (Sarah Cooper, author of How to Be Successful without Hurting Men's Feelings)
