I know I'd rather have my eyes pecked out by a crow than listen to her speak.

 

If you read her book, you can pretend it was written by somebody else :p

 

Remember, the poster I'm answering liked 'He's Just Not That Into You' so she likes being told off :laugh:

How to heal a broken heart - Paul McKenna. This is a good one if you have just split up with someone and keep thinking about them all the time.

Well maybe I do... but I just liked the no nonsense approach. And being told off every now and then is OK - I'm tuff, I can handle it :o

 

I don't have time unfortunately to sit and wade through pages of fluff and crap to get to the point.

 

I found Gray's airy fairy stories and analogies just too trite for my liking.

 

I'll check out Moi's suggestion of Ellis - that sounds like a goody.

I've nearly finished reading "If I'm So Wonderful, why am I still Single?" by Susan Page and I really recommend it. I picked it for a few dollars on ebay and it was a great investment.

 

Not only does it guide you on how to find other singles, and date them, it also looks at issues such as commitmentphobia, intimacy, sex and one night stands etc.

 

I'm at work now, but I'll post some more points on it when I get home.

 

I highly recommend it for men and women, singles or those in rocky relationships.

book i highly recommend is 'But I Love Him' by Dr Jill Murray...

shows adn explains emotional abuse and why most men do it...it was a RUDE awakening to me and i highly recommend it for anyone if they were emotionally abused by an ex(or are being abused)

I highly recommend "HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT AND WANT WHAT YOU HAVE" by John Gray. At this stage we need to take care of our needs and look for what makes us happy. Not selfish happiness but fulfiiling our personal growth needs. And not cling to these ex's who we on this website have turned to for happines. Wrong! This website, practing NC and this book has been proactive action for my self healing. Take responsibilty for our own lives and not waste another moment on being devastated by the people we've given our energy to.
