Someone once told Emile "Moe" Manara, "A relationship without pain is a relationship not worth having." Manara's, "The Playbook," (published by iUniverse) takes readers through a man's journey of understanding women. From loss, to lust and love -- "The Playbook" is about asking the right questions and being man enough to move on when all is lost.

Manara wrote "The Playbook" not only from a man's point-of-view, but also from his perspective as an undercover agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The simplistic pages of this book share his on-the-job observations -- watching the effects women had on the men he was assigned to watch.

"The Playbook" is a helpful and humorous read with one key message: never get involved with a women unless she is able to give back as much as she takes. The author hopes his book will help younger men avoid the mistakes he and others have made. "I spent 20 years watching men give their partners whatever they wanted," said Manara. "They did everything and received very little in return."

His book doesn't include a table of contents, chapters, acknowledgments nor mentions of family or friends; just simple and straight forward testimonies. Manara's objective was to make this book a short read and allow readers to scribble in their own thoughts and feelings throughout the margins. Manara urges readers to remember one thing: "There is nothing wrong with a table for one."
