Summary: My eyes were opened
Review: ...after having problems in my relationship, I decided to visit a local bookstore for some self help. By chance I grabbed this book and began reading, it seemed as though the book was written about me. I never realized that I was jealous and possessive. I could not put the book down until I finished it. This book is so eye opening I have decided to purchase it and keep it with me as support for controling my views as a jealous and possessive person. Thank you Paul A. Hauck!!!!

Summary: Helped to Change My Life!!
Review: I drove away a girl that I loved in just 3 short months! I knew that I was kind of insecure and had poor self-esteem, but I had no idea that I was acting possesively and extremely jealous towards her once I finally fell in love. When we first started dating she fell in love with me quickly. She never saw my bad side untill I fell in love with her, then all hell broke loose. Now I thought that I owned her. It started with false jealous accusations, and the constant need for assurance of her love for me, even after my harsh verbal and mental abuses. As her resentment grew, and as I felt her pulling away, I became desparate and acted possesively towards her. All I knew is that I needed her to love me the way she did when we first met.
She ended the relationship after three months, but wanted to "still be friends". I could not accept her leaving, and became more possesive and jealous whenever I saw her untill she could not deal with me anymore, and I could not deal with being "just a friend" so we decided not to speak to each other again.

I saw myself in this book, and it has confirmed to me that my thoughts and actions were that of a possesive and jealous person. (I blamed my girlfriend or anything else I could think of for causing me to react the way I was.)
Just discovering this about myself alone has opened my eyes and started a change in me, but the book has also taught me how to change the way I think. This book uses many true life examples of the possesively jealous person and how they were able to overcome their harmful thinking patterns.

I am now learning to love myself unconditionaly first, and that I can change or "unlearn" any negative behavior or thinking patterns that I have learned in the past.

I'm sure that I will be ready for the next relationship!

Summary: Lacking evidence leading to empty and false "truths"
Review: This book has some great points, but lacks evidence to its most vital conclusions. Unconclusive connections with some truth, but also much of this book is meant for a reader that lacks cognitive abilities - the author seems to be feeding the target audience with whatever the audience wants to eat... not in all cases is that food truth. There are many holes in "evidences" and many weak examples, trying to prove certain objectives. I disliked this book because I do not see the author's credibility and/or wisdom concerning "answers" to issues that seem to be "thrown together."

Summary: Truly Helpful
Review: This book is amazing! I read this book when I was in a relationship that I was always being possessive of my boyfriend, and always would get jealous even if he would look at a picture of another girl. In my mind, I thought that he shouldn't be able to look at other people, because he was my boyfriend. This book helped me overcome my jealousness, just not of my boyfriend, but also for others as well. I find that I am no longer possessive of the guys that I date in relationships now, because this book has helped me understand why I felt the need to act that way, and how to overcome your actions. I would definently recommend this book to anybody who does not understand why they are so jealous and or possessive of their significant others, or also for people who's significant other has told them they need to 'get over it'. Definently MONEY WISELY SPENT on this book!
