Summary: Smart Doctors Help Smart Women. 10 Stars!
Review: Connell Cowan, Ph.D. is an outstanding psychologist who has co-written this book with Dr. Melvin Kinder to bring women awareness of self-sabotaging patterns, hidden dependency needs, how men respond to women in power, differentiating between "the nice guy" and the exciting men that cause misery for women, breaking old patterns that cause pain, getting in touch with illusions, letting go of expectations, and much more. This is a TIMELESS book that will help all women that are so adept in other areas of their lives become SMART with dignity, authenticity, and self respect, as you learn to honor yourself, as well as honor a relationship worth keeping, or leaving. I bought this book when it first came out. The pages are now golden yellow, and I recommend this book for the golden advice and practical wisdom that any smart woman can use if you have been in one painful relationship after another. A great book to re-read as you learn and grow in relationships. This is an outstanding book to help you honor yourself and uncover patterns that have caused you pain, while you learn how to bring out authenticity within yourself and the man you are with.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Summary: Men breaking it down about other men.........
Review: This is a valuable book on how to gage erroneous, futile mechanisms and thought processes that keep women in hopeless mindsets and equally hopeless relationships. These two licensed professional counselors are men themselves, and their experience and professional knowledge bring much enlightenment to the mystery of men's behavior in relationships. I highly recommend this book to those who have been led to falsely believe that all men are commitment-phobic slugs and want validation to seek emotionally mature men that embrace confident, mature women for what they bring to the union. It offers tips on how ladies can come into their own power and to take assured chances with the opposite sex. Very concise, easy to read and well-written.

Summary: Smart Women Read Other Books
Review: While I thought the personal assessment exercises in the back of the book were very helpful, I felt that the book as a whole was biased. The book suggests that women set lower standards in order to find the man of their dreams. The book also diminishes the mother's crucial role in raising children and implies that the decision to have children lies solely with the woman.
I felt that the book was contradictory. On one hand, it tells women the type of men to avoid and what type of woman is most desirable to men. On the other hand, it says that the smart woman who has learned from her past mistakes "may have served to narrow her vision and opportunities." Perhaps smart women are too much of a challenge for a real man.
