Science-based love, dating, sex, and relationships advice

Loh Down U presents our next Live Online Book Chat on Thurs., Aug. 29, from 2-3 p.m. (PT). Join Sandra as she chats with Amy Alkon, "Advice Goddess." Amy's award-winning, nationally syndicated column, "The Advice Goddess," runs in about 100 newspapers across the United States and Canada, and locally in the LA Weekly online edition. In it, she dispenses bitingly funny advice that is evidence-based and scientifically sound. Amy is also the author of the science-based 2009 book I See Rude People: One Woman's Battle to Beat Some Manners into Impolite Society. Click here to email your questions to Sandra and Amy by noon on Thursday. Then tune in to the discussion from 2-3 p.m. Pacific Time.
