Summary: Not Very Practical Advice
Review: I consider myself a very intuitive person and I thought I would find this book helpful. However I was unable to follow through. This is an example of one of the exercises: Write down a list of all the positive qualities you think you possess, do not be humble or modest. Send the list with a stamped, addressed envelope to 20 people and invite them to comment "true", "very true", "extremely true" - these are their only choices. Do this once a year. If you are the type of person that enjoys doing these kinds of exercises, then you might get something useful out of this book. I don't argue that the results of the exercise would be useful if only you could bring yourself, and others, to do it. If I could think of 20 people who would still be talking to me after I sent them such a list, I could only anticipate that most of them would add ridiculously funny comments. Mostly I think this list would make my friends squirm at the thought of my own narcissm. The book is centered around self-help exercises, many of which suggest using a friend to help. Some are useful, and some results were surprising, helpful to me. But I can't help thinking I have missed the "big aha" because I would simply not follow through on doing some of the exercises. It also gets rather tedious reading through hundreds of other people's results in doing the exercises. I would rather have something I could work through alone, in the privacy of my own home and my own emotional state of mind!

Summary: Not easy - but worth the work
Review: This book is much more intensive than Laura Day's initial Practical Inution was. The exercises are sometimes tedious, but very helpful. In fact, after doing only a few of them, I found such surprising results that I refused to believe that it was the exercises, but rather luck. Not so. If you are interested in changing the direction of your love life, and realtionships in your life, this book in invaluable.

Summary: Magical Thinking in Love = Fantasy
Review: This book is well intentioned but lacks focus and clarity. A much better book for those serious about finding their beloved is "Finding Each Other" and "Attracting Genuine Love". Both books are rich in excercises, intentional actions, and loaded with resources and TO DO's. Best of all ... the authors of both books are happily married to each other for several years now. When Day wrote this book, if my facts are correct, she was in the midst of a divorce that took over a decade to litigate. Maybe I am wrong ... but I'd rather take advice from people "whose energy field attracted and sustained" an enduring romantic love.

Summary: Difficult to digest or put into action
Review: This will be brief.
Although I like Laura Day's other works,
I found "Practical Intuition in Love" to be very vague, even though I have read it several times. Perhaps it just didn't communicate with me specifically.A book I prefer, which is similar, is the out-of-print but WONDERFUL "Finding Each Other" by Mary Olsen-Kelly and Don Kelly. You can get it on the internet very inexpensively. Go look for it!
