Don't Call That Man

Rating:
Summary: Empowering AND Practical!
Review: The book is as refreshingly straightforward as the title. "Don't Call That Man" is a survival guide for the woman blindsided by feelings of rection triggered by a breakup. Providing solid advice on how to resist the temptation to call him when it seems to be the only way to alleviate the pain, Ms. Findling leads the reader through a series of exercises designed to uncover why a woman may be vulnerable to destructive men and relationships. While she devotes a chapter to recognizing the kind of "ambivalent man" whose seductive/rejective behavior patterns can make a woman crazy wondering what she did wrong, she wastes relatively little time trying to analyze HIM. Instead, she emphasizes the need to look within for self-acceptance. This is NOT a "man-bashing" book, nor does it contain superficial, "treat yourself to a bubble bath and manicure to make yourself feel better, ladies"-type advice - rather, it offers a solid road map to building a strong foundation of self-esteem and self-awareness that is critical to lasting individual happiness and in developing positive, committed relationships.

Summary: PSYCHO therapy babble
Review: This book includes way too many chapters that cite parents as the reason you choose bad partners. I'd like to know what the author would say if she knew my background, I came from the most loving and supportive family there is. This book deals more with blaming others than actually helping you to not call that man. I personally thought that it was useless in my breakup and didnt prevent me from repeating a common mistake and call my ex. I think only time will make you ready and books like this are a waste of time and money. So unless you just want to blame your mom as the reason your relationship went sour, buy this book, otherwise, just by a fiction book and keep your mind busy and you wont call him.

Summary: A guide to distinguishing between giving and obsessing
Review: This book is a must read for women who are finding it hard to distiguish between giving of themselves and being compulsive obsessive.There is a very fine line to draw when you start rationalizing to justify every call using the argument that you are a giving person. If you used to receive calls and this is no longer the case, Rhonda Findling's book gives you practical, clear aanlyses of what may be happening. It was a real eye-opener for me. Healing and self-confidence are back in my life.

Summary: A must have!
Review: This book jumped out at me from the page. It said, "Buy me!" And I'm glad I did. Not only does Ms. Findling provide support for not calling that man, she tells us why we are attracted to the wrong men, why they are not available, and how to spot an available one. This is a quick, easy read with advice I've heard over and over and over. She puts it in such simple terms, though, I finally get it! A must have for you and your girlfriends.

Summary: AMAZING!!
Review: This book seriously changed my life. It helped me understand and get over a relationship, and I now refer back to it when I'm feeling sad. I've recommended it to all my single friends, and I sincerely hope that everyone else enjoys it as much as I do. If you are dealing with the loss of a boyfriend, husband, or even a close friend, this book is so important. Rhonda really helped me, and I plan on reading it over and over again.

Summary: BRUTALITY HONEST BUT RIGHT ON TARGET!
Review: This book should be read by any women who is going through a the "letting go" process. It was painful at times but you realize the writer is right because of situations that are in the book you have gone through yourself. Plus, the workbook gives you insight on your true feelings. I have recommended the book to several freinds.
