All of these toxic thought patterns and thinking habits conspire to mislead women.  They are moved away from truth and wisdom, and  away from virtuous behaviors and benevolent beliefs.  As a result, many are confused as to knowing what to believe is true, what is valuable and profound, and what is effective.

Some of  the common Mistaken or Nonsensical beliefs that MissLed women (literally) buy into are:

• WRONGHEADED ROMANCE (Discusses the all-too-common misguided beliefs and unrealistic expectations regarding "romance" among MissLed women).

• SOPHOMORIC SOUL MATE MANIA (Discusses the recent misguided emphasis on the "soul mate" relationship and how this is based on wishful thinking).

• FRIENDSHIP FOLLIES & FRUSTRATIONS (Discusses the over 50 toxic friend types identified by female authors and the MissLed women's misconceived beliefs and expectations regarding friendships).

• KARMA CLAPTRAP (Discusses how this faddish superstition and all-too-popular belief among MissLed women is based on irrational thinking and emotional reasoning).

• CACOPHONY OF COCKAMAMIE QUACKERY (Discusses how MissLed women's propensity for seeking "alternative" treatments and medications is also based on their lack of critical thinking).

• VACUOUS VACCINATION VITRIOL (Discusses how anti-vaccine zealots such as Jenny McCarthy  dangerously mislead many MissLed women by raising unjustified and unscientific fears about the safety of childhood vaccinations)

• BREAST CANCER BROUHAHA (Discusses the overemphasis and over funding that Breast Cancer receives, due, in no small part, to the emotional reasoning and lack of skepticism among MissLed women).

• DELUSIONAL DIETING (Discusses the many harmful effects of MissLed women's desire for instant gratification and lack of critical thinking as related to the never ending variety of dubious fad diets).

• DUBIOUS DETOXIFICATION (Discusses MissLed women's propensity for seeking to "detox" their bodies, which once again demonstrates a lack of critical thinking).

• MALADROIT MISCOMMUNICATION (Discusses MissLed women's unfortunate habit of speaking or writing immaturely, ineffectively, and indirectly).

• ARGUMENT AGGRAVATION (Discusses how MissLed women's inability to construct and articulate arguments damages them in their personal relationships and limits them in the workplace).

• SANCTIMONIOUSLY SANCTIONED SAMENESS (Discusses the false, Politically Correct belief and expectation among MissLed women that men and women have the same basic abilities and behaviors).

• POSITIVITY POISON (Discusses how thinking and acting in excessively positive ways is dangerous, even harmful to the many MissLed women who've eagerly embraced this trend).

• The SCHEMING SEDUCTIVE SECRET (Discusses how the influential bestseller "The Secret" found a receptive and gullible audience with MissLed women.  Unfortunately for them, they bought in due to their inability to detect its seductive, cynical and manipulative marketing of a false message).

Given all of these significant misbeliefs and resultant misbehaviors, is it any wonder that so many women today struggle with happiness?

Indeed, when women are MissLed, they are unable to flourish in their personal relationships (intimate and friendship), and limited in their ability to prosper in their careers. 

In sum, MissLed will explain the largely unexplored reasons why too many females today go from happy girls to sadder women:
