Don't Call That Man

Review: When becoming UN-engaged after 2.5 years, I was devistated and bought this and six other books in the same genre. This was by far the best. It's not only practical, reader-friendly and down-to-earth, but it's ENCOURAGING. It's not full of silly humor and man-bashing. There are excercises after every chapter that really made me think about how I contributed to my own "demise".. I read this book every night, before bed, and actually feel better, encouraged and more hopeful that "this too shall pass".

Summary: Just What You Need In The Initail Stages Of Letting Go...
Review: When I broke up with my boyfriend, I was a wreck! And this was NOT the time to start reading books about my inner child and reaching "The Attic"(sorry Vanzant fans). I needed clear cut advice. I couldn't even clean my house, let alone deal with the abstract that other books would have you do. This book gets to the point in easy to understand english of why you should let go. I'm still working through my pain, and I find myself rereading certain passages. But I have bought almost every break up book out there(if you don't believe me, try pulling up my file on amazon.com!) This book was one of the most helpful, along with Cosmo's book. You won't regret this purchase, it has really helped me!

Review: When it turns out that "the one" actually ain't, letting go can be near-impossible. The only way to do it is the title of this book. Don't. Call. That. Man. That's it. The great thing about the book is that it's not that simplistic -- she goes into why we call, what we're trying to do, what we fear, what we lack, and how to heal. She's like that really great, intelligent friend who you never seem to listen to, but hey, you paid for this one, so you go and listen to her. At least that's how it worked for me. Highest recommendation from an ex-codependant who needed some (ok... a lot of) help breaking away.

Summary: This book does help - well it helped me.....
Review: You search in vain of an answer that you will never get. When you are feeling vunerable, hurt, sad, angry. alone, desperate, you want something, anything to make you feel better. Obviously you know that a book arriving in the mail is not going to rid you of all of those emotions. It won't. But what it did do was provide a chance to breath in and breath out. I already know 50 things to do to not pick up the phone. I made "The" humilating phone call in July with the final begging and please come home stuff...now it is November and almost December and I have not picked up the phone. I did have to speak with him around divorce matters and I pushed myself to be just as cold and uncaring as he is. Still months later I ordered this book...in search of the answer I need. I think as I poured through the pages I got a lot of positive reinforcement that by not picking up the phone that I am starting to survive this. And you can too! Don't Call That Man. You deserve better.
