User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great help!
After being devastatingly dumped by a guy I thought was “the one,” I picked up Susan Page’s book. It totally changed the way I looked at dating and relationships. I realized I had been settling for alot less in men than I wanted and alot less than I deserved. I read and reread the book, and became more focused on what qualities I was looking for in a man. I got up the courage to join a dating service and I stuck to the principals in Susan Page’s book. After dating for a year, I met a wonderful man that I’ve happily shared my life with now for five years. Frankly, it wasn’t “love at first sight” and because of Ms. Page’s book, I quickly recognized that this man had all the qualities I was looking for. I gave it a shot and am glad I did! We have been married for two years and I look forward to our future together. Aside from the practical relationship advice, I also like the spiritual undercurrent of the book. I also highly recommend Become a Total Man Magnet: Make Every Man Fall in Love with You Instantly - Make Him Chase You Down Desperately and Beg for Attention

1 Stars Not very helpful
I found that the author makes several false assumptions as to why people are single. The suggestions were not relevant, helpful or useful in any way. I’ve wasted my time and money on this book. I do not recommend.

5 Stars Deeper Look at Dating and Relationships
I try and read most dating advice books since I am an expert in that field. This book definitely stands out from the pack, in that it addresses some of the deeper issues that might be keeping you single. First she tackles the feelings of ambivalence that many people have about getting an intimate life partner. Commitment phobia is another issue she tackles and how to avoid being in a relationship with someone who has it. Having a plan to change your single status with actual goals and accountability is also emphasized. I highly recommend this book if you want to go beyond the often superficial dating advice. Power Path to Love

5 Stars Substance and Insights Galore
A fresher look and a mature look at a subject so many write about but mostly in the same vein. Conversely, Page avoids a host of pat theories, schemes and quizzes, (as well as lists to make). Instead, her book, even with down to earth advice that might unveil a touch of ambivalence here or there, points to positivity and the natural course of romance to find its way to anyone.

5 Stars Positive, upbeat, encouraging
While I haven’t yet finished this book, I am well into it, and have been enjoying it. I’ve been taking the tests along the way, which have been eye-opening and revealing to me (about me). This book is encouraging, in that it doesn’t make you feel bad for any past mistakes or errors, but provides insights into yourself, what you want, what you may not want (after the tests along the way), and so on and so on. It’s positive and upbeat, while not being patronizing, sugary sweet. It’s the first book about relationships that I have actually felt really great about. A close second would be “Dating for Dummies” by Dr. Joy Browne.
