1. This book was amazing! - This book has the best advice of putting you first and how to get your control back within a relationship! It revitalizes your sense of self and how you can gain respect back by simply cutting more access. I love it and it is a take it or leave it back and I guarantee this works if applied in daily life.

2. It was fun - It’s a great book to read if you are looking for a honest perspective on how men feel about dating. You don’t have to agree with everything but it was entertaining and fun to read. What I learned from the book is to not stress about men and instead focus on having a good time. As long as you are having fun, smiling, laughing and enjoying life a great guy will eventually come your way.

3. Not Really Empowering - Clearly most of the women reading this are women who feel like they could get advice in dating better, but this book really makes these women feel insecure and mocked… she should have geared towards empowering women instead of sticking with “boys will be boys” toxic mindset, and instead demean common “flaws” women may share.

4. Great book - I was reading this book at the lowest point of my life, after that I started picking it up every time I was questioning my worth. I am not a reader so it took me over month to finish this book. As a nice girl trying to have better relationships and better relationship with myself, this book has helped me get different perception.

5. Couldn’t get through it - This book infuriated me. I read up through pages and just couldn’t do it anymore. I get some of the points behind what the author is saying, but it honestly just sounds like a book of someone telling you to not be yourself. Instead of telling you how to feel confident, they’re basically just saying fake it til you make it or your man won’t fall in love with you. There were some valid points but most of it was just poorly written advice on how to play games to trap your man into falling in love. Ladies, just be yourself. This book isn’t going to do anything for your confidence, which is probably why you’re reading it.

6. A book every woman should read! - I love how practical and clear this book is! Sometimes as women, we allow our emotions to disarm us in moments we need to be armed and on point and we do it out of love… for the other person. This book is an excellent nudge in the right state of mind. Highly recommend.

7. SO GOOD! - This is a truly powerful book and it is all too real and accurate on how men think. But simply reading this book and reading the experiences of other women will connect with you instantly and remind you how real these things are because they DO happen. Do yourself a service and READ THIS TODAY.
2021-11-05

8. Great and easy read - I personally really liked and enjoyed reading this book. I learned new insights and ideas, which have helped shift some of my long held views and beliefs. Some things I had to take with a grain of salt and the book doesn’t contain a magic formula but overall I find it is “believable”, helpful, and applicable.
2021-07-22

9. Néw attitude - A lot of who I was, was the nice girl. And I am still kind at my core, but this books helps with understanding the way men think and learning when and how to give as opposed to giving up front. It teaches you how to vet men, keep your confidence (and sanity), and maintain his interest should you deem him worthy
2021-07-11

10. Amazing book - This book installed so much confidence within myself with the past days. I now know exactly what i’m worthy of and i know how i deserve to be treated. All women need to read this book relationship or not. the level of self respect you need to learn still applies to platonic relationships.

1. Mixed bag, bit judgmental - I enjoyed some of the insights this book offers but it’s clear the authors have an easier time relating to people with an anxious attachment style, than they are with avoidantly attached people. The writing’s on the wall in the very first example. The latter group tend to get cast as villains while it’s abundantly reinforced that the needs of the former group are valid. It also promotes people to “just” find a partner who’s secure. Several of the examples of “effective communication”, especially the one the book closes with are borderline manipulative. I learned stuff from this book, but unfortunately can’t recommend it.
2023-02-09

2. Dishonest - For sure people address relationships in either an acceptance, anxious, or avoidance style, that is rather obvious. What the authors dance around is that likely % of the anxious people are female, and % of the avoidant people are male(homosexuals excepted). The authors do a politically correct tap dance around the elephant in the room and as such, the value of the book is degraded by their dishonesty. As one avoidant straight male, the most sought after females for a satisfying relationship are avoidant females, AKA Friends with Benefits; unfortunately avoidant females tend to be Lesbians for the most part. Another subject not covered in the book.
2023-01-20

3. Informing and interesting - It was really detailed on how to go about changing certain situations and explaining the meaning behind different problems faced in anxious-avoidant relationships, while giving insight on how secure people act in relationships, how they have mastered it. He really hit the nail on the head. Recommend!
2021-08-23

4. Loved it - I recently broke up with my girlfriend and didn't understand why some of the tatics I used hurt her. I thought jealousy was part of the game. I was very upset if she didn't return my texts or calls right away when she was hanging with her friends. I thought this was a normal reaction. Then I found this book and read it in a week. It has not only helped me with my romantic life but also with relationships with friends and family. I'll probably re-read this several times over.
2021-01-30

5. Clear & Practical - I have read various relationship books, but most of them never descend from their theoretical and/or academic narratives to a level that provides advice which can be easily applied day to day. Attached, on the other hand, not only lays out information in a concise and clear manner, but outlines various strategies for navigating interpersonal relationships effectively given your attachment style. While I did not agree necessarily all assertions put forth by the authors, I found the content of Attached to be largely sound, and I have applied much of the advise therein with success. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about different emotional dispositions and how those affect relationship dynamics.
2020-10-18

6. Life Changing - This book should be a mandatory read for kids. It would save them unnecessary heartache and time. I only wish I read this book much sooner in my life. It took meeting a secure man and losing him due to my anxious attachment style to have a friend introduce me to this book. Life changing! I’m excited to start dating again and put these new-found principles into practice!
2020-04-20

7. It all makes sense now - As a man who is and has been in several serious relationships that were great, but also had their hardships this book has given me insight into what was really going on. Moving forward with fresh eyes now and I would like to thank everyone involved with the book for all the knowledge and work that and went into the making of it.
2019-03-03

8. Spot-on - Reading this was like reading about my own life. It’s good to have a little background information about attachment psychology, but the authors do a great job of providing clear and realistic examples. Eye-opening and necessary to fix problematic relationship behavior and understand yourself more deeply.
2018-11-27

9. Attached - This book made me realize why I have such a hard time being in a relationship. I'm the rare anxious/avoidant attachment style. It's impossible to to want someone in my life at the same time not wanting to feel smothered by too much attention. I'm working with a therapist who is a specialist in trauma and uses the Internal Family Systems therapy.
2017-10-25

10. Eye opening - Currently nursing a broken heart and sorting through all kinds of emotions. A friend recommended that I read this book to better understand myself and also my ex. It was a great read and forced me to hold a mirror to myself. Also made me hopeful that in the future, I can not only work on myself in a relationship but I can pick a partner and weed out incompatible ones more quickly.
2017-09-11

11. Very Eye Opening - I very much enjoyed this book and learned so much about myself and the significance of staying true to yourself. A lot of these relationship books can make you feel like there's something wrong with you and most issues in your romantic relationships are your fault. Looking forward to applying what I've learned and meeting the right person.
2017-01-31

12. Break up cycle - If you are stuck in an on again off again this will help you get out of the anxious/avoidant trap. Reading other case studies was so awaking. I now know to find someone who can meet my needs and it really is "it's not you its me"!!!! Don't beat yourself up when the relationship doesn't work.
2015-06-18

13. Described my relationship perfectly - I'm anxious and my wife is avoidant. The examples and descriptions in this book were % accurate around how I feel and very accurate around what I perceive my wife is feeling. If she reads this book I think we can repair our marriage and bring back the happy days we had in the first couple of years. I feel that early on we both managed to care for each other's emotional well being but as life stresses added up (baby, money, move to another state, college, etc) we started to fall back on our natural dispositions and things have spiraled down in the vicious cycle that anxious-avoidant relationships have. Thank you for clearly expressing this theory. In my opinion it is spot on.
2014-02-12

14. Great book - I found this book is very interesting. There are combinations from theoretical part of psychology and examples based on real people made this book attractive and easy understandable for whom not so good in the area. Enjoy if you are interesting in human behaviors and curious how to improve your relationship.
2012-02-23

15. Breakthrough and mind blowing read - This book is not only well written, well documented and based in science and research, but it is easy to read and totally illuminating. I will never look at relationships the same way again, and you can be sure the next time I give advice to a heartbroken girlfriend, it will be backed with this mind blowing work. Phenomenal. A must read for everyone in or wanting to be in a relationship.
2012-02-07

16. Better Understanding - After you read this book you will have a better understanding on the different personalities out there and how to best manage or avoid them. Too often we beat ourselves over the head trying to figure out why others don't think and react as we do, when in fact, once we have a better understanding of their emotional makeup we can better manage our own. Win, Win!
2011-12-02

17. Very insightful! - This was a great resource for unearthing the reasons why I am the way I am, and a way for me to better understand why my boyfriend is the way he is! Without this book breaking it down for me, I would be left confused and bewildered. Thank you to the authors for researching this very important aspect of relationships and delivering it to the world with real-life case studies and patient testimonies.

1. Great Book, version errors - This book is priceless for life advice. Understanding how to interact with people, primarily, but also understanding what others might be up to, as well. My rating is low because it would appear that no one proofed this eBook before putting it on the iBook store. It doesn't affect the read too badly but it is slightly offensive to charge $ for a version that wasn't very professionally proofed.

1. Very good advice on relationships - I enjoyed reading this book and learning about the various love languages. It offers a very simplistic and easy to follow approach on how to better understand your partner and take acctionable steps to improve your love life. I highly recommend this book to everyone, whether you are in a great healthy relationship or in a tumultuous relationship you will find the advice in this book useful

2. A MUST READ ! - HANDS DOWN one of the best books I’ve ever read, I’m not much of a book person, I usually have to force myself to read something. But I finished this book the same day I purchased it ! It’s so engaging and helpful, I go back to this book often just for a refresher and I feel like I learn something new each time. LOVE LOVE LOVE
2022-09-18

3. Great Read - This book was amazing. I thought and understood what my love languages were until i read this book and it told me about myself. I truly understood for myself, and my future side the things that we need to do to make this work. It’s a commitment, and you never stop communicating with your spouse.
2022-06-29

4. A must read! - If you’re contemplating….. read it! If you’re feeling drained and nothing else has worked…. Read!! If you are newly married…. Read it !! Key to a happy marriage even if you are the only one who is putting in the effort . It will create reciprocation and create a new climate in your marriage
2022-01-04

5. A worth read. - My husband and I don’t have problems in my marriage. I stem from parents that did, though. I have been highly worried since we got married that I would fall into the divorce category. He is the love of my life and I would do anything to keep it that way and educate myself on how he receives his love. Interesting read. Taught me a lot about myself, how to communicate, and how to uplift my husband.
2020-03-05

6. No, and here’s why! - This book that I read was absolutely horrendous, The usage of language to describe love is an utter shock and stupidity summed up in one book. The difference between all languages are the styles but not the emotions persevered in this book, this has indeed upset me because I was exited and intrigued by a book like this, I hope that everyone understands the fact that love languages are every languages it is not the accent you say it in it is the words you speak with, saying the same words in a different way will never help you but improving you’re vocabulary to their standards and usage of good words will get you to a point where you will be happy.

7. A Must Read If You Want to Be A Better Spouse - I was recommended this book by a friend, now my counselor. My spouse has mentioned it numerous times trying to reach me, and I paid it no attention. How I wish I had listened, I was almost literally reading my failures with each example of the languages. I’ve shed tears and apologized from the bottom of my heart numerous times. I’ve put the lessons into use and I believe there are signs this storm I am battling is beginning to subside and the sun is coming out. Love is a choice, it takes effort and thought; saying I love you is important...but living it through these lessons might just save the one thing you love the most.
2019-10-04

8. A second chance at true love - My girlfriend and I fought constantly for two months and she literally told me that she was going to leave me, but that same day, her sister-in-law told her not to and that we needed to read this book. This book saved my relationship and has made both of us happier. I’ll be forever grateful of the lessons I learned from this book.
2019-04-10

9. Giving for simplicity - Very simple concept, yet we all seem to miss it. Useful help in finding your SO’s love language and giving ideas as to how to approach different stages/issues in your marriage. The fact that this book seems to default more to, is to make couples realize your initial stages of “falling in love” are not permanent and that marriages take work. The sooner we all learn to accept that and work on it, the better. I believe the author makes really good and get across points as to this. Would recommend this book and it’s lovingly approach to give first as ask second.

1. It’s a beautiful story of Love in every sense of the word - This book comes at a time when I needed it. At times intense so take breaks, but full of truth about love as it relates to relationships with family , friends and ourselves . Bell talks about how we hinder , desire, sabotage and long in love. Bell supports some of her theories with references from other authors . Great read !
2022-09-03

2. Heart warming and heart needed - For years this book has been on my “to read list” and finally I did. I’m so glad that I did. So much good stuff. I charge you to not only read this, but allow each page and word to read you as well. At least that is what this book did for me. It read me and comforted me. Pray and always ask the Lord for more understanding with each word you digest. Be well. Read well. Blessings Always

1. Unmatched guidance - You will not find a better book for dating…. and defining quality, healthy relationship boundaries. This book teaches women how to relate from strength and purpose, rather than fear and need. It’s a brilliant, funny, incisive and witty book, ahead of its time. If more women could read, assimilate and follow Sherry Argov’s gems of wisdom, healthier relationships would be forged, abusive relationships would be prevented or dropped, and a new generation of healthy children and youth would be raised, having observed healthy and solid relationship boundaries. Thank you for writing this masterpiece!
2021-10-04

2. WOW - As I man I found this book to be incredibly eye opening, informative and best of all entertaining! Ms. Argov’s perspective on the female/make dynamic is unique and refreshing. I highly recommend everyone read this book! both women and men will get something out of it. Best of all, it’s a true page turner you just can’t put down. LOVE it!!
2021-09-22

3. Love this book!!! - Sherry’s book opened my eyes to the truth about Men. This book should be read, re-read & be treated as the Bible for all women. Sherry also gave me the self confidence & self love that I needed in my life. She’s a true lifesaver & I’m truly a happy person with or without a man! Kathy

1. Good read - It provides perspective. Even though I might not have these views it shows me how to work with them. To say this book doesn’t align with a mans actions would be a lie. When lined up with past relationships as a guidebook it would have saved me some time and I could’ve gained some as well. Hopefully it helps now though. That’s when it counts. lol
2020-04-18

2. Not Terrible Advice - I would say all in all this has been enlightening book. Some parts come off as a little chauvinistic. While he does acknowledge the work load of today’s women, the extreme expectations society places on mothers far outweighs the understanding any man will ever have on women. The fact that women now hold the title of mother AND career woman is something only very few men would even come close to understanding, because they don’t have the physical capabilities to understand things like the pain of child birth and how that changes a women’s body. The whole “men don’t like it when women let themselves go” (interpreted quote) and giving women a ten-pound weight-gain range before men disapprove is just not considering the fact that women bare children and this changes their bodies, often more than the suggested ten-pound leeway “given” by men. I also don’t personally believe that men have any excuses or should be placing suggestions on women on how they can keep their men from straying, let alone justifying why they stray with nominal, meaningless explanations. Ones like if they don’t get sex from their women, they will get it elsewhere. While this may be true, this should not be accepted as a guideline for any couple, male or female. I have already suggested this book to other women, but not for advice on how to act around men so much as to understand that most men just play with women’s hearts to get sex. And the more knowledge a women has to her advantage, hopefully the less female hearts will be broken by these types of men. Any women who have been played by a man knows that, and every dark secret a man keeps is best brought into the light, so I appreciate this book for that simple fact.

3. WOW! - All I can really say is that regardless if you're in a relationship or not, this book is great. I got the sample and was automatically hooked within the next two pages. That I had to have an actual copy in my hand. Finished the book within one day. There were a few pages/paragraphs in the book that Steve Harvey gave me cheerful tears in laughter. He reassured me that there are decent men out in this cruel world who will go out of their way to protect, provide, & profess their affection to you. Let's not give up ladies! We've got games too not only men do.

1. This is me letting you go - I felt a sense of not feeling alone, that someone out there had experienced what I had experienced. It was what I needed to read while still being in the mist of everything I was feeling. But like every cook understands... you need to apply the recipe in order to create the dish.
2021-04-08

2. Incredible - i have never in my life written a review for anything ever. not a book, clothing item, product, nothing. i am writing this review because this was the most amazing book i have ever read. i was bawling at the end and i have never cried from a book like that ever. this is amazing to read after going through a break up and truly makes you put everything into perspective. would recommend this to everybody!!!!
2020-06-04

3. OMGGGGGG!!! - This book literally got me through a hard time. Rough breakup & all, and everything the author said related to my life and exact situation. I felt so much better after reading this! I was at ease, at peace, content.. I understood why things happened so much more! This book is a must read!
2019-05-04

4. Awesome - Healing - On Point - I downloaded this audiobook for a -hour drive to a new start. This book was exactly what I needed right then, it met me right where I was in my life. I felt she was telling my story ... sharing my experiences ... the raw ... the real ... the laughs ... and the tears! Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and story with us!
2019-03-21

5. Just what I needed. - This book is exactly what I needed to read in my life right now. Sometimes we are in need of reminders.. We cant possibly believe we will always have the right answers, and right way of handling things. I read this over time, here and there. Heidi did a great job of making this feel personal, to you. You can feel so pathetic at times in your life, espeically when you feel you need to always be strong. But in the privacy of your home, in the privacy of your own mind, you can feel vulnerable to this book and let it take you whole.

6. Read if you’re heartbroken.. - If you find yourself in a place of heartbreak or sadness or lost within the love in your life this is an amazing self help guide to not only getting over a breakup but LETTING GO. I love the short article chapters on different emotions we all feel when we’re heartbroken but have difficulty explaining or empathizing with others. If you have no one to turn to or a million friends after a heartbreak this book gives you a little more insight into thoughts and ideas that help you heal.
2018-11-02

7. A timely, refreshing God- send - I cried. I laughed. I enjoyed it ,and I learned from it as well. The quintessential anecdotes were transparent yet necessary soul nourishment. Once I began, I felt as if I was eating brunch with a wise girlfriend ,and at times, I felt as if I was in a much needed therapy session. It was definitely worth the read ,and I will revisit in when I need the wisdom and encouragement.
2018-10-15

8. The best $ I have ever spend in my life - What can I say after reading the last chapter with tears running down my face not because it made me sad overthinking my past failed relationship but because we all need to face our worst fears which in my case was self doubt. Self doubt because I never wanted to come to turn that not all those who we love will ever love us the same way back. I really enjoyed this book and will recommend to every friend who needs reassurance just like I did myself.
2018-10-07

9. Stunned - Easily one of the best, most healing books I've read. I didn't even know I still needed some of this healing years after the breakup, things I still needed closure on and courage I thought I had that is even more lit after this. From the message it shares to the slowly, amazing metaphors she uses to really help us readers relate. This is real - a must read and absolutely a new way to live life
2017-07-06

10. Wow - I have never loved a book so much and had never had one relate to me in so many different ways so perfectly. This is an absolutely beautifully written book and so complex in terms of thoughts and theories but not complex where I don't understand. The opposite happens where it's everything I've ever thought finally put into the right words. I have just finished this and I am in tears. I need more of this book

1. Amazing read - This really clarified abuse for me and helped me understand the mind of an abuser. Well, as well as I am able to. I am excited to implement these tools into my daily life and help my whole family move forward. Thank you so much for this book, it’s a Godsend. I highly recommend you read it whether you suspect or know you are being abused yourself or if there is someone in your life who might be going through this. Highly informative. Again, thank you!!!
2021-03-08

2. If you're a Christian, don't read this book - This book is horrible. Absolutely the worst. The book has no footnotes and is basically all from the perspective of one man who claims to be the authority on abuse. No references to studies done, only his counseling sessions. Your marriage will result in either one partner subjugating the other, or it will end in divorce. My wife was recommended this book by her counselor. She has said I'm abusive and basically told me I have to 'earn' my way back in. I've never physically abused my wife. Ever. We have arguments, and we both must work on communication to rebuild our relationship, but that's not what Lundy says. Lundy says she gets to yell and scream and blame you and the man is suppose to take it. If the roles were reversed and I yelled at her and said she had to take it, the book clearly lays this out as abuse. Lundy also says the man must realize that he owes a 'debt' to her and he must take several years before she can forgive him. Nothing in this book talks about forgiveness. Nothing in this book talks about rebuilding a relationship through healthy boundaries and rebuilding trust. There are things that must be done to resolve physical abuse, and a counselor should be able to give people help here. And I believe in counseling and the help it can provide. But to my Christian brothers and sisters, please be extremely cautious and hesitant to read this book. If your spouse is not physically abusing you, it's important to evaluate whether you have a communication breakdown or actual verbal and emotional abuse. And remember Mark :, Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate. (I'm looking at you, counsellors who flippantly recommend this book to clients!!) Lastly, if your wife picked up this book, and starts throwing around abuse at you, just remember Christ died for us and he endured greater than this. He knows what you're going through, and he is the ultimate healer. Save yourself heartache, and read Corinthians Ch . Endure the pain and damage this horrible book causes and put your trust in Christ. Pray for your spouse. Pray for healing for your spouse and for yourself. Work to correct your own mistakes even if she buys into this book. And work your butt off to love your wife as Christ loves us. And most importantly, DON'T READ THIS GARBAGE BOOK!!!

3. A Must Read for ALL - After just leaving an abusive man this book opened my eyes. I like many other survivors made excuses like 'he had a horrible childhood' or 'he bottles up his anger and doesn't know how to handle it' or 'if I just don't push his buttons life will be calm again' and the list goes on and on. There were good times when he was the most loving, tender, kindest man in the world. During those times he made me feel like I was the most special woman in the world. It all seemed so sincere, but then he'd abuse again a short while later. It was a vicious cycle. This book showed me that was all part of his abuse pattern. This book will help you see inside of his head. What you think he's thinking isn't the case. It's nothing like you thought. At least it wasn't for me and I think I'm a pretty average middle class American female. It answered so many questions and misconceptions I had & I fully recommend all ladies read it. Knowledge is power. I hope & pray you read it and find strength and courage to escape. Once I saw what he really thought of me & why he acted that way, I got out quick. And I don't regret leaving, not one bit. I get stronger every day I'm away from him & you will too.

1. If you can make it past the title - A book I was apprehensive to read but absolutely needed. The title threw me off at first. I never considered myself as a “Nice Guy”, a chump, or a simp. I’ve been with my fair share of women. I was the captain of my football team in high school, college athlete, bartender, and now an officer in the Marine Corps. I found myself at a point in my marriage where I just wasn’t happy. I started searching for answers to questions like, “how did I get here?” “Why am I sticking around” “Don’t I deserve better than this?” I was wondering if my current marriage was bad karma for the women I wronged in my late teens and early twenties... I started reading this book and felt a connection immediately. The author does an excellent job of peeling back the onion and analyzing the psychological motivations to partner selection. Every man should read this. I’ve gotta believe that almost all men can relate to this on a certain level.

2. Not complete text - While this is a life changing book, it does not have the complete text. I purchased the audio book to listen to while I read this book (visual plus auditory learning). Don’t let it stop you from purchasing the book as the heart of it is still there and it will still change your life!

3. Useful for introspection - There is much to learn from this book. I learned that individuals either create or select the environments they live in, their environment is rarely forced upon them (excluding children). With this in mind, it becomes the responsibility of the individual to correct themselves in order to correct their environment and the behaviors of those around them.

4. This Book literally saved my life. - I would recommend that EVERY guy read this book. It’s a relatively short and an easy read with very entertaining stories and what I believe the best advice you could get as a man. I can’t think of a better way for it to be written. I don’t believe it matters who you are, this book will allow you to understand Nice Guys and will help you identify if you are one, how to fix it. Dr. Glover this book saved my life, I appreciate the time you took to write this and to relate with me through your words on a deeper level than anyone ever has.

5. Amazing - I have always felt like I had this swirling black hole of “not OKness” rivaling with my inner man. The author of this book completely cleared this up and in just short days after reading, I have felt more like a man than I ever have in my entire life. All it took for me was for me to actually identify the reasons why I was feeling the way I felt. The author of this book actually helped me truly identify my irrational and incorrect childhood relationship with my mother that had turned me into the “girly man” that women aren’t attracted to. I can’t thank this book enough for turning a new leaf in my life and I am so excited for the future ahead. Being a man in today’s female driven world is okay. Do you want to know why % of marriages don’t work? Read. This. Book.

6. To my fellow men... - By far the best investment for myself (Read this in broken days and could've been sooner). A MUST READ for those men seeking answers to questions we don't fully understand about ourselves. This book spoke to me! Def making contact with the author to thank him for making this life changing experience possible.

7. No More Mr. Nice Guy: Learning how to be an Assertive Man Instead of Being a Passive-Aggressive Wimp - When I first saw the title of the book I mistakenly thought this was a book on how to be a jerk in life and getting the life you want by controlling others like your significant other. I first heard about this book through the "The Art of Manliness" website and I read positive reviews from readers who were once Nice Guys recovering from the Nice-Guy syndrome as Dr. Robert Glover calls. I decided to buy the e-book myself and once I read through the first chapter I related myself to some of the men who were going through a crisis in their lives because they were trying to seek approval from others and when they didn't get what they wanted they feel 'down in the dumps' 'stuck in a rut' 'useless' 'worthless' 'abandoned' you name it. These were the type of men who were doormats who helped others to seek approval from them and when they don't get approval they feel bad or they feel they've done something wrong. Dr. Glover breaks it down on what Nice Guys are doing wrong in their lives from relationships, to jobs, to health, to living to their full potential, etc. Even better, he lays out specific, concrete things a man can do to get over his Nice-Guy syndrome. When I finished reading this book I decided to read through it again and it has helped improved my life. I believe this a great book for men who feel like being pushed around in life and not setting boundaries to live a fulfilling life. But if things are going pretty well for you in life, then this book is not for you. If you're that type of guy who wants to become assertive and never settle for less then buy this book and while you're at it go to "The Art of Manliness" website and learn more about becoming a gentleman.

8. A Manosphere Classic - % of this book is chock full of solid manosphere advice that you can use right away to unlearn your beta male or "unhappy alpha male" conditioning and embrace the XY chromosome that you are. Parents, teachers, society, and environment taught you the wrong stuff about being a man or gave you mixed messages at best. This book should be required reading in schools.
2016-02-24

9. Inspirational & Informational - I just finished reading this book and as I was reading it I found myself saying "that's me right there" seeking approval of not only women but also of men, is a weakness of mine that originated during my upbringing. As I was reading this book I realized the importance of having boundaries, asking for help, developing intimate relationships with my male friends, having a male mentor, pursing your goals, and forgiving my parents for what they weren't able to supply to me when I was growing up. This book doesn't teach you how to be a jerk, it teaches you how to have self-respect and by having self-respect others will respect and admire you for who you truly are and that my friend is what will make you successful in life.

1. A "Must-Read" For Those In "Those" Relationships - This is a straight-forward, incredibly valuable, and brilliantly written "handbook" for anyone surfing the hills and valleys of a relationship with a narcissist. And, I've read them all. A gem of a "bible" to be revisited for your own sanity, survival, and growth while navigating these perilous and sometimes dangerous personalities. I love Doc R's videos, but her book digs even deeper, "arming" me with priceless "tools" and a new understanding.

1. Eye Opening! - There was so much about relationships and your parents that was I astonished to learn about from this book! Before reading this book I guess you could say I was ignorant to the true dynamics of being in a relationship with someone, I was on auto pilot and simply along for the ride. Reading this book definitely helps you understand past relationships and provides an excellent roadmap to figure your current or future relationships. A must read not just for understanding your marriage but really this is a must read to better improve yourself.

1. Amazing - By far the most amazing a book about how to come to realization with how people treat you. When we are in a toxic relationship, we tend to not realize how poorly we are treated. And it’s also had to realize that pour significant other is in fact manipulating us. This book really open my eyes and is motivating me to do better for myself. Y
2022-03-16

2. Good Try - I think the author means well and shares some nice messages from her valued loved ones. However, the layout and graphics of the book are downright dizzying. It was super challenging trying to read on my iPad and horrid on the iPhone. This would maybe ideal in print for the side table as a go to reference. Cheers to the author!
2019-03-10

3. ABSOLUTELY LOVED - I enjoyed this book to the highest extent. I was going through some of my own personal battles, so one day I decided to pick it up and read it. I instantly fell in LOVE with it, I couldn’t put it down. After reading it, I felt much lighter and knew that better things are to come my way whenever the time may be.

4. What a time to be alone! - What a perfect caption, for my current situation! I thank the author wholeheartedly! If I was able to put my thoughts in a book, it’ll sound something like this! In today’s society with the highlight of social media, social acceptance, social coolness, just social blahhhh it’s hard to be an actual human being, with human feelings and have basic human interactions! This book touched on everything I’m currently going through along with things I been through! Thanks again for such an accurately beautifully written book!
2018-10-20

5. Spot On - This book was amazing. Everything that you have ever thought about relationships, life and yourself in one way or another comes up in this book. It puts all the topics that no one wants to ever talk about on the page and leaves you with the peace of mind that you’re not the only one thinking these things. Overall great & easy read!
2018-10-16

6. One of the best books this summer - I’ve never related to a book so much , it felt like I was reading about my own life for the most part. All my internal struggles....everything. This made me realize I am not alone and find the courage to protect myself because I come first. And also realize I have a lot of toxic people in my life I need to get rid of and face my own toxic traits as well. Thank you.

1. Awesome tool - I feel like this book it's a really bad rap. I can see how people would think the things that are being talked about in this book are manipulation or mind games, if a person applies it that way it's certainly can be.. However, I think with this really does is sets out a guideline for those of us who get overly excited and don't really understand proper personal boundaries. It advocates self-care good eating habits, exercise, self-restraint, making your own life, putting yourself in your own life first. I myself am very guilty of developing a crush on someone, and they would just become my entire world. I would become very overbearing for them, even if they did really like me. I got used because I would chase the guys and they would see my willingness to do it it took. I believe these rules are applied properly the losers and users lose interest cuz they certainly want to put forth any effort.. This is an about tricking just any man to fall into love with you. This teaches you the ways to behave to protect yourself from those guys that don't care enough to chase you. I don't think you should be read as the Bible, take what you can of it and learn. It's really awesome advice

2. Every girl should read this book - Every girl should read this book. It will save you from unhealthy relationships with others and you will build a solid foundation for what you will and will not tolerate in a relationship. I personally think that this book should be given to girls in school, and there should be support groups.
2015-02-08

3. It works - The rules work! I'm now engaged and it is getting harder to follow the rules :( I'm also noticing the changes that were mentioned once you start caring too much.. They really make sense- men will always like a chase. Now when I see women who chase after men, I can't help but laugh. It reaches you to be a LADY which is rare nowadays. I started out in a long distance relationship and am glad it covered that part , a lot of books don't so I couldn't relate. With this one, I did. Need to focus again on using "The Rules"
2014-02-26

4. Horrible advice overall - Seriously a terrible message; there was very little advice in this book I found helpful...mostly I was horrified. Funny how often these authors refer to the advice as not playing games, but that is exactly what it is. I have been much more successful in my romantic life and dating by doing mostly the opposite of what this book advocates. Make no mistake ladies, men can't stand women who play these games. And the sheer amount of typos was ridiculous; if you insist on reading this book, perhaps purchase the hardcopy in a used bookstore. Yes, used, as I wish I could get a refund.
2012-04-25

5. Great Principals, Poorly Edited - I had no idea I was doing anything wrong when it came to men, but this book has changed my entire outlook! I'm excited to put it into practice! My only complaint would be the numerous amount of typos —I stopped counting at . I've never seen a publication with so many errors; it really undermines the book's message.

1. So glad I picked up this book - This book was an amazing book really enjoyed reading it helped me unlearn and relearn everything I thought I knew about woman I feel more confident and comfortable talking to women also really helps with understanding women there some great teaches and techniques highly recommended it thank you coach Corey Wayne my dating life will never be the same!

2. Don’t cherry pick! You don’t know as much as you think. - I never struggled attracting women, getting dates, or getting laid. The struggles came - months down the road with maintaining attraction. I knew I wasn’t doing something right when women were clearly losing interest in me. This book has helped me realize so much more not only about women, but also myself. This book helped me realize just how much I was screwing up. We always have room for improvement and we can’t grow until we fix ourselves and this book is the start of you and me realizing and understanding what we lack, our strengths and weaknesses, and how to build and correct them. I’m on my rd read and learn more each time because I’ll think “oh wow I forgot about that part”. Coach wasn’t kidding about retaining about % of what you read. Definitely read this - times. You won’t get bored or it because you’ll learn more each time.

3. Life Changer; needs republish editor - The information in this book changed my life. I struggled with a lot of the issues the author addresses in it. If I could only have one book for the rest of my life, it would be this one. I do think the grammatical errors are a bit overwhelming at times but I still read and digested it just fine. Corey, if you’re listening, do yourself (and all of us) a solid and have the book rereleased after being proof read by an editor; proper syntax and semantics would make your book an easier, less time-consuming read. Five stars!
2020-03-03

4. Great for beginners, but be careful - This book is great. If you read it and you’re unfamiliar with dating or you’re a “nice guy” then it will toughen you up. His “how to set up dates” is quite awesome & works very well. I will say though to NOT read this ten times over again like he suggests. You’ll end up looking for answers that are just not there. Read multiple dating/ personal growth books to not get stale with his “fundamentals”. Also think carefully on who you want to become & if Corey is the right leader for you. When it comes to career A , Right winged Politics A , but when it comes to truly longed term relationships I think he falls short. Great for learning how to hook up though, but I do want to start a family which Corey can’t help you with

5. I want to be the absolute BEST person, lover, boyfriend, husband that I can be! - Corey, I turn in a little over week. I’m a good looking, confident and successful guy in ALL areas of my life, but have failed in relationships with women! Women have always gravitated to me with ease and not much work, but not knowing about the tests that they throw at you, they would lose attraction for me! I am an overachiever and always strive to be the absolute best that I can be and after a breakup with a woman that I admired, I knew that I was the one failing! I’m so much better than being just “ok” with anything, so I went on a mission to be my best! A couple days later and after reading through your book the first time, I already know how I’ve went wrong on so many instances! You’ve lit my fire and now I’m going to make the masculine and feminine world proud! Thank you for ALL that your doing to open the hearts and minds of all the people that wish to become the best! Thank you! Les J

6. Thank God for Corey Wayne - For up until my late twenties, I could not understand women and dating for the life of me. I thought that flowers, long emotional texts, and chasing would lead to me being happy ever after, and boy was I wrong. I found this book during a truly emotional heartbreak, and it opened my eyes to so much I had done wrong, what I had done right subconsciously, and what needed to be done moving forward. This is the best $. you will ever spend, and I promise if you read it just once and apply the principles, your dating life will go to heights you wouldn’t believe.
2018-12-12

7. Nails it with women and being yourself - This book is an easy read and will give you the information to understanding women. Before reading this book I always thought that women had this secret code and only they understood it. I also could not believe the small percentage of men who could get just about any girl. After reading it, women now make sense. I also attracted into my life quality women that I could not in the past. I am now with a women who is gorgeous and as beautiful on the inside as on the outside. She too is blossoming as our relationship grows and I have the confidence to let her in beauty expand. As a consequence I too am more confident and happy in my life. As another reviewer stated, this book costs you about the price of two beers. I thought that was a fair point. For that much money, isn't it worth it to you to expand your life to where you want it?
2018-07-22

8. A total game changer. - I struggled with dating for years...and I’m not an ugly dude...but I didn’t know the game or how women perceive attractiveness. This book has literally made me an alpha male and now dating for me is a breeze...I’ve hooked up with some many beautiful women. I highly recommend this book if you are struggling with women.
2018-06-19

9. Pragmatic - I recommend this book to anyone that feels “cursed” about not understanding women and their own reactions to failure. I took this “curse” as a challenge, and with the help of this book and coach Corey Wayne videos, I’m turning the tide of my inner battle, and finally owning my life back.
2018-04-16

10. This book can be - pages article - What sold as a book can be easily presented as - page article. There are some good advices don’t get me wrong, but its repetitive material, bunch of empty pages, tons of grammar mistakes, also author refers to YouTube a lot ( every other page ) so expect to spent few days on YouTube. Overall I have to say, that Corey Wayne is doing a great job towards marketing and sales. If you get rid of all the water you can define few main theses : ) Man has to remain centered. There is feminine and masculine energy. ) Men act based on logic, women based on emotions ( men are like dogs, women like cats) ) Google “ Corey Wayne ...” ( referral to his YouTube channel)
2018-02-22

11. Great! - I read it once then came to a conclusion that I wasn’t performing with women how I was when after I read it. I realized it after I went on a date with a girl I was really interested in and things felt really off. I went back and read the book for a second time and as I was going through chapter after chapter I began to realize all the stupid common sense mistakes I made. I have to say this reading this book is the start to the rest of my life I learned so much and will continue to read this book - times! Thank you Corey you are the man, the myth and the legend!
2017-10-24

12. Life changing - Corey Wayne, Your book has truly given me the tools to change my life. I AM now more fully adult than I have ever been. I’m a year old man and I couldn’t have found out about your work at a more opportune time. God has always lead me to the books and materials that I need to grow on my journey. Learning about self worth and value is invaluable! Thank you so much. People, this book is a must read for any individual that wants to deepen their understand of relationships. It all starts with YOU!

13. A true lifesaver - Dear Coach, Thank you for writing this book. This is my second time reading and over twenty times listening to the audiobook. If anyone is second guessing if they should invest in this book you are just being stupid. Not only should you by the book and the audiobook, but also watch the YouTube videos. Thank you and God bless you Coach!

1. Not a great resource - While there are some practical skills being taught in this book, the premise is that marriage is a contractural enterprise (if you do this, he/she will do that), rather than a covenental relationship (sacrificial service to our spouse). There is also the semantic confusion. What Harley calls needs are mostly desires. Certainly, if we figure out what our spouse desires and make efforts to meet those desires, then, yes, we can improve our relationship. But part of building a God-honoring marriage is sacrificing our desires to meet the actual needs of our spouse. Finally, people don’t pursue affairs because they aren’t having their needs met. They pursue affairs because of selfishness, the poison that kills a marriage. And lately, I have seen too many Christians pursue affairs because somebody convinced them that their spouse is supposed to meet their needs, or that sex is designed to fulfill or satisfy. When those unrealistic and unbiblical expectations are not met, they look elsewhere.
2021-02-23

2. Seeing the obvious - While I enjoyed reading this book that my spouse purchased and suggested that we read, the principles in it were rather obvious and yet somehow weren't currently being put into practice in our marriage. It is easy to use the book as a weapon against a spouse by pointing out how he/she is failing you, but the author wisely warns against doing so. Some of the needs won't completely fit you and some license will be needed to redefine the need to your situation. The author readily admits that the listed needs are not a one-size-fits-all solution or that they belong to a specific gender, so keep that in mind. For this book to work, both spouses have to read it with a nonjudgmental attitude and make an honest evaluation of what truly makes them happy. Once the needs are on the table an honest effort is required to meet them, which can be especially trying if you can't see the need expressed by your spouse or feel it is not your job to meet that need. It's a tall order to follow through the author's prescribed plan when your marriage is flying through rough air, but as the book reminds us, we were meeting our spouse's needs at some point in the relationship and we just need to reacquaint ourselves with them again. Although we're just at the evaluation phase of our needs, I'm hopeful we can put away the selfish blame game and work to meet each other's needs. Time will tell. I recommend this book to at least break the ice on resolving martial discontent, but it would be of little value if both spouses aren't willing to be open and honest in their thoughts and motivated to make every effort to meet the needs of their spouse.

3. A book all married couples should read! - What an eye opener for me. I was totally ignorant in what I thought was what my wife wanted/needed. We've been married for years this year. I am glad I stumbled across this wonderful advice but wish I had it years ago. I believe the advice and plans laid out in this book along with consistent effort will change the two of us forever for the the better and make being in love a wonderful experience again. I recommend it to every person who wishes to fulfill someone of the opposite sex, not just married couples but single people. Why not learn what it takes to be the best you can be for the person you love the most?
2014-07-17

4. Fantastic - we couldn't have come across this book at a better time. Our marriage was in shambles, we were living as roommates instead of partners, and divorce was coming fast! But this book has opened our eyes and given us tools to rebuild the love and relationship! It will take time, but at least now we have hope. Thanks for writing such a straight forward, in your face, look in the mirror kind of book! It's a / in my opinion!
2012-04-08

5. Good Overall - I just got engaged and a marriage counselor recommended this book to me. While I was reading the book, I can't help but notice that the author brings up an affair often. Given his credential I will not challenge the man... Just hate the direction our society continues to go. Good book though!

1. If you want to encourage sin and entitlement, read this book! - One of the worst books on the market! This author actually thinks that leaving towels on the bed repeatedly in defiance of his spouse’s concerns is a model to emulate. The other advice is worse. I wish I could get my money back and have the author pay for my divorce. Guess who did take all the advice to heart?
2022-02-26

2. Good information, read both sides - I really liked this book. Whether you're religious or not, spiritual or not this is a good read. Not only did it help me understand how my wife's brain is wired and operates it taught me a little about myself and why I react the way I do to certain things. Having a better understanding of how my wife's brain and spirit operate has helped me tremendously in fulfilling her emotional needs on a deeper and more satisfying level.

3. Life changing!!! - This is life changing both in marriage & in family. I have used these tools to slow down in an emotionally high times and keep respecting despite the situation wether my hubs or children deserve it. It has been hard at times, easier at others, but over time a softening comes & life changes not just to my spouse & kids, but I softened too (& I needed to be soften just as much as my hubs did). My hubs is starting to respond differently to me now & my kids are too. My kids are even using the verbiage that I picked up from the book and are able to explain how they feel & why they feel disrespected. We still have a way to go, but I know that God used this book & podcast to keep my tired wounded heart from turning away from my husband & to soften my response to my children in elevated situations. I look forward to continuing to grow in this and seeing more change in my family and in my relationships in everyday life. Thanks Emerson & oldest son (I'm sorry I forgot your name).

4. Wife - Everyone needs to read this book! I am getting my daughter one as she is marrying her prince this weekend. Who knew that saving your marriage could be so easy! Thank you Emerson!!! My husband and I listened to the love and respect podcasts while on a road trip and had the best time discussing and talking and just learning about each other! Wow, is all I can say! We couldn't have paid for a better marriage retreat than what we were experiencing in our own car!
2016-06-13

5. Powerful! - My husband and I used this book as curriculum for pre-marital counseling. Not only has it helped our responses towards each other in our marital disagreements later on, but it has changed our attitude towards each other and helped us both realize the motive of why our partner behaves towards us sometimes in an unpleasant manner. It has reassured me that I am not alone, and God's will to have a more successful marriage.

1. Lovely - I stumbled upon this book via FB ad and I couldn’t put it down! I shared it to all of my girlfriends who are now in their late s! They need this NOW!!! Before it’s too late, thank you for sharing this book with the world! I’m a gay man so it’s a little different for me but I GET IT. Thank you

2. Read this book - I was having doubts in my first year of marriage, wondering if I had made the right decision — this book whipped me back to reality — yes, I had chosen the things that were most important, thankfully. This is an important book to read not only because if you’re single and are looking for a partner, but also if you’re in a relationship/married and are questioning if you should stick it out. Great read.
2022-11-28

3. Good book! - This book is amazing from start to finish. It was very insightful and very helpful for me. This is one of the best books I’ve read in a really long time. I had a hard time putting it down. The research, the interviews, the personal accounts, the content all really good and consistent. The title of the book is controversial and maybe discouraging to some, but the content is realistic and practical. I recommend this books to women and men in their early s and up that want fulfilling long term relationships. It’s a guide to “getting of your high horse and into good long lasting relationships” to some it up.

4. A must read for all single women! - I think the author, Lori Gottlieb, puts dating and marriage into perspective, that we can’t have-it-all in the person we marry. there is no person out there that will check off everything on your list, and that compromise is a must! Those women that are considered to “settle” didn’t settle. They have what they wanted, while we are still looking for Mr. Perfect. She writes very well, and it is fun to read. I think this is great for those that are trying to find out why they are not married yet, and need some realistic insight.
2020-01-14

5. Heart pounding experiences - Being a woman, having a similar situation, as this story.... sometimes a woman has to be sure of herself, also! This book is straight to the way things should be in real life, but maybe there is more than just her decision! Wouldn’t life be a piece of cake if it was written by someone else, with the happily ever after..... but wait there’s needs to be some suspense, romance and hot sweaty love making, I know from a woman of my own heart, there will be a awesome ending, or should I say a new exciting beginning Smurfetts Always For A Good Ending in Her Villlage ( the village of hope)
2019-12-20

6. So happy I read this! - When I read Lori's article in the Atlantic, I was shocked, saddened, and a little angry. Fortunately, it left me hungry for more. I wanted to read the entire story before deciding exactly how I felt about her theories, learnings, and advice. Now, it all makes absolute sense and I completely agree with her. This book is not about settling at all! It's not offensive or even scary which was the impression the article gave me. It's simply a reality check for us and year old women. I saw myself in so many of the anecdotes and I feel enlightened!
2014-03-30

7. Matter of fact - It is indeed a down to earth, wake me up from my slumber , matter of fact kind of book. I am single and certainly disagreed with the writer initially but Lori is spot on. It's almost as if we have had lunch together and discussed our dating life. Sooooo many mistakes, unrealistic expectations etc etc. having said that you can still be single and happy.

1. Well worth reading - As the grandparent of an autistic child this book highlights our duty to stick with and not ignore our precious gifts of children. Autism is a spectrum disease as is most of life’s challenges. Once you realize your job is, as a provider of an environment to help your child, you can enjoy the daily interactions with your special child.

2. Thought provoking insights - Highly recommend this easy to read, enlightening book. I don’t quite know what else to say except that I will try to remember to be more patient with the person in my life who I believe has undiagnosed Aspergers when he’s doing annoying things... he can’t really help himself.

3. Great read - I really enjoyed this book. Raising a child with Autism is not easy and I learned a lot from this book. It help me better understand what my son goes through and how he sees the world. I see similarities with my son that made me smile while reading and some that made me cry. Its a great read.

4. By Brianne’s Reviews - This book was a short, sweet, and to the point type book. I would highly recommend this book. Reading it gives you somewhat of an understanding of what someone with autism is thinking. Granted, everyone is different in his or her thinking, but it gives you a general idea. This book would benefit anyone. You never know when you are going to run into someone with autism, and being able to understand and not get frustrated with them when you are interacting with them will help both parties involved.

5. The Reason I Jump - This book should be read by everyone who interacts with people with autism. It gives you a glimpse into a mind that works very differently than your own but has the same heartfelt desires as yours. it is enlightening and touching. As an OT that works with many children with autism I am going to read this book a number of times so the lessons contained in it can be fully absorbed by my mind and my soul. I am so glad this is available and I am going to share it with many others.

6. So disappointed - I read many reviews before purchasing this book. As a teacher and family member of a child on the spectrum, I decided to buy it despite several negative reviews I'm so sorry I did! This book was wholly unbelievable to me. I doubt its authenticity. It was not helpful in the least. Pass this one by.

7. Excellent translation of understanding autism. - This is a great read for anyone, but particularly those who interact regularly with people who are autistic. There is the ability to alter one's previous outlook on how an autistic person acts, responds, and sees the world around them. I highly recommend The Reason I Jump for anyone wanting a quick read.

8. Great insight - As a parent of an adolescent diagnosed with Autism it was really interesting to hear from the perspective of the child. This is definitely a must read for all parents, siblings, family members and therapists working with an Autistic child. This story gives me hope that one day my son will be able to connect with me and the world around him.

9. VERY GOOD IN SITE! - Very inspiring and heartfelt. It gives very vivid in site as to how a person with autism perceives the world from their side. It gives the rest of us who have family members with autism or who work with them as educators a detailed understanding of what that person is feeling and a clear and detailed explanation for their behavior; the way they feel in different situations, and how they communicate with the outside world through their eyes and with their bodies. Excellent in site! A must read!

10. Authenticity? - Very disappointed, was probably expecting too much. Like many of the books "from autistic writers", one is always confronted by the discrepancy between their communication abilities, the devious intent of the "translator", and the final product. The constant references to the "normal" human mind coming from a year old autistic kid are a little surprising. The unification of all autisms according to the description of this particular case is also introducing serious doubts about who wrote what. In the end, it is hard to learn anything new or insightful from that book. The questions are also incredibly primitive and somewhat ridiculous.

11. A Beautiful Illustration of the Power of the Mind - This book illuminates through the innocence of youth and a life lived with the stigma of "disability", a world where the primal power of the mind and our relationship with nature are at one with each other. It prompts the question whether it is the autistic mind that is broken, or rather the unfettered "healthy" mind who rambles on day after day without need for understanding its place and impact on the world. Truly enlightening, inspiring, and beautiful.

12. Daily Show recommended! - I have a sister-in-law with autism. I also love watching the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Didn't think these two worlds would collide, until the night of //... Written by a Japanese boy with autism, he gives the reader insight on what those with the disorder (or anything on the autistic spectrum) experience, understand why they go through that, and how we can help them cope. I finished this book in one go, and was able to identify with it. Most of the characteristics the author has are ones my sister-in-law has as well, and having an explanation behind those characteristics gave me that "ah ha!" moment. I will be recommending this book to my mother-in-law, as I think she will appreciate it as the mother of a child with autism. Who knew a recommendation by Jon Stewart would pan out well? Nice!

13. Why I Jump - As the numbers of children diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum continue to rise, it is vital that the general public, as well as educators, learn more about this disorder. This book is a powerful statement supporting the need for understanding and compassion for individuals with special needs. As a teacher who has worked with students with Autism Spectrum disorders, and as the grandmother of a beautiful grandson who has autism, I know how damaging ignorance and disinformation can be to the spirit of special needs individuals. One occupational therapy provider actually told me that there was no such thing as vestibular disassociation. I wish this wonderful book had been available at that time so he could further his obviously limited education. Naoki is to be congratulated for opening a window into a special world so that the rest of us can better understand. Kudos to the illustrators for capturing the essence of Naoki's story through their beautiful artwork. David Mitchell also deserves praise for bring this inspiring story to a larger audience. his is truly a book worth reading.

14. Extremely Well Written Book on Autism by a Year Old Autistic Child. - I found this book extremely well written and wish I had read this book years ago when my year old son was first diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome on the Autism spectrum. I feel I could have understood him so much better at the time when he was in school especially elementary and junior high. There were times when I never fully understood what he was going through with Aspergers syndrome (Never going to bed at a reasonable hour when he was a or years old and doing this night after night after night for close to three months wearing myself and my ex-wife down physically and mentally, having an aversion to having steel buttons and zippers on his school and play clothes and freaking out when he had to wear pants with steel snaps when they touched his bare skin, and always wanting to wear sweat pants and t-shirts whether it was a hot or frigid degrees out and becoming upset when he had to wear regular everyday clothes ! ). All of these behaviors were answered in the book by a year old Autistic author along with other questions I could never figure out by myself , with my ex-wife or school officials , or medical professionals who were doing their best to assist my son with his Autism spectrum disability. Finally, If you have a son or daughter or a child of a relative who has Aspergers syndrome or any other disorder on the Autism spectrum I would highly recommend reading this book. It will give you a fascinating insight into a world of unique individuals who can contribute so much to our world and who want to be understood as human beings not as special needs individuals. I know I have become a better person for reading this book because I feel I truly know what my son is facing now from a lay perspective.

15. Incredible - I have read over books about autism since my son was diagnosed five years ago. I learned more about my son from this book than all of the other books combined. Everyone that has anything to do with my son is reading it now. It is a must read for anyone that loves someone with autism and wants to better understand why they behave the way they do.

1. Truly a Fantastic Book! - For some, just looking at the title of the book might make you infer that this is yet another book that just gives you a different perspective on appealing to women, but I promise you this is anything but that. Yes, he does give advice on that matter but it is not as important as the main factor - focusing on improving your own self! I highly recommend this book for all guys, no matter if you have never dated someone, or if you haved dated quite a few!

2. Perfect book for those with social anxiety - This is the first book review I have ever written. I feel compelled to express how deeply helpful this book was for someone who suffered from self-esteem issues, anxiety issues, and possessing a total lack of confidence like myself. I’m a male, am tall, fit, and am very attractive for my whole life. I went through years of high school and college, even being in a frat, without having sex. To this day I am still a virgin. After reading Models, I feel confident and reassured that there is hope for someone like me. This book has helped me shatter all the pre-concocted ideas about myself that had followed me my whole life. I feel reborn!

3. This review will polarize you! - I like how the author keeps the ideas simple on how to pick up. No cheesy lines, openers, or other types of theory, just simple instructions and ideas. What I really like about this book is how it focuses more on you and how you should prioritize yourself over women and game. Some of the stuff he mentioned really "hit home" for me and made me think of what I have to do first. Overall it is a great informative book that I highly recommend reading for both pick-up and self improvement.

1. Gives You The OK To Stay Lost/Horny - This book encourages you to stay horny and build a cheap personality that’s centered in between your legs, lose your self respect as a humanbeing who’s blessed with a mind that thinks and differentiates right from wrong. This book encourages you to get rid of your manners, lose your inner tranquility and mess up a lot in your sexual life in order to find your life purpose. Watch porn, act like lost spirit and go sleep with dozens of stranger women/men in order to find love. I personally was expecting content that lives up to the title but found someone who’s still so self distracted, lived a life full of a denial of his roots, hangry for sex that he indirectly lets you know he’s still wanted by how many women he slept with after his wife divorced him, catching him watching porn. Someone so lonely inward that he took a degree in psychology to have always someone who needs his company/his help, talks about his clients in a cheek way under the name of sharing stories to help others. If you read between the lines you can see easily how this guy sells you what you want to hear, beautifying how to live a low life. It’s my first book to trick me by its title and shocked me with how much dirt in it. His pitch is the word (IT IS OK) to do whatever your lower self desires as long as the other part wants too. What’s more sad though is the way people turned to become recently that they need to see others doing what they’re doing or would like to do. If you need real help, please search for Pena Chördön’s books and audios, you’ll never regret. You don’t have to turn into Buddhism in order to find yourself, find purpose in life or find peace with being alone. I’m a practicing Muslim girl and love Pema Chördön, still return to her books when I need another perspective of life! Please, invest your money with books by real author who respects your humanity. I couldn’t ignore sharing these words after finishing reading this book, that voice we all have kept nagging me to say something. Thanks for taking time to read my words!

2. BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ - Whether you are single or in a relationship, this is a must read. I could not stop reading because I was having so many realizations and questioning everything I ever knew. I gained knowledge, insight, and strength in knowing that being single on purpose was the best thing I could do for myself. This book is about so much more than being single, it’s about self love and discovering who you are more than anything. this book has changed my life.

3. Reaffirming my own journey - I appreciated the way John shared client’s stories as well as his own personal journey. So much truth and vulnerability. “Single, on Purpose” had affirmed the journey that I have been on, particularly for the past years after my second divorce. It’s amazing, how when you do the work, and “date yourself”, how your life becomes what it is meant to be. This was a quick enjoyable read, one which I’m sure I’ll reference back to in the future. And thanks for the song suggestions for my own self tape. I’m forever changing mine. And I will explore your list to expand mine. This is a must read for those seeking peace, and to help live their own truth.

1. Increased my self-awareness - I found myself making so many highlights in this book. It feels like Jessica is really speaking to you. I’ll definitely be returning to it from time to time. I don’t know how helpful and transformative it will be as I imagine it takes time and application to heal and evolve.
