And How To Avoid Them
by
Dr. Joy Browne
This how-to and how-not-to book on relationships is light, lively, compassionate, blunt, and a total must for those of us caught up on the unhealthy relationship treadmill. Joy has this wonderful ability to help us look at the pits and falls when it comes to trying to find companionship and the mountains and flowers also. I found this miraculous little dating helper to be lovingly written, well broken down into easy to follow chapters, and filled with examples that left me readily able to recognize previous dating disasters of my own that I begrudgingly call learning experiences.
Now that we are squarely in the age of Internet dating I found that the way the author would have little want ads showing the kind of guy she was describing, how to spot him, and how to avoid him, totally fitting and appropriate. I also loved the way there was no judgment or blame, just honest straight forwardness like from one sis to another. I would recommend this book to anyone drawn to the belief that there must be a healthy man out there, but just can't seem to get out of their own way long enough to find one. Thanks Joy, you'll save many from wet pillow syndrome.
Love & Light,
