essential relationship and break-up books
Here are some more books that I have read or been recommended by the site's many members.
Many of these books have helped me get back on the right track and I think they
will you too. . .
(personal development books here)
Are
You The One For Me? - Barbara
de Angelis
Brief Synopsis - (reviewed by Lumpy): A guide to why some
relationships won't work, no matter how much we love the other person,
why we often make mistakes in choosing a partner and how to make the
right choice next time. I found this book really eye-opening. I kept
reading bits and thinking - yes, that is me!!! I felt like someone
had gotten into my head and heart somehow - sounds corny but true!
I can now understand why so many of my previous relationship haven't
worked, no matter how hard I tried, and also why I was attracted to
guys who were 'wrong' for me. I now have a better idea of what type
of relationship could work for me when I am ready to date again.

Bouncing Back From Heartbreak -
Gael Lindenfield
Bouncing Back from Heartbreak is a small, practical guide that's easy to carry around and read bits of when you need a wee boost. Perhaps not life-altering, but worth a read!

Exorcising Your Ex - Elizabeth Kuster
This book makes me laugh a bit. It's aimed at chicks, it's silly and
not exactly practical, but it is worth a read anyhow.

He's Just Not That Into You -
Greg Behrend et al
This is a pretty interesting if not a little depressing
read. At the very least, it should put an end to us woman plodding along
with men who clearly don't care. Worth a read but it won't cheer you
up...

Hot Sex -
Tracey Cox
Tracey is the UK's premiere sexpert and her book is
fabulous. It's funny and informative and quite frankly I can't wait
to put the knowledge to practice. For more info, check out her website http://www.traceycox.com/

How To Mend A Broken Heart - Christine Webber
Webber's book is broken into three areas: Accepting it, Getting
Over It and Starting Over and features many useful tips on how to come
to terms with and get over a loss. The style is chatty and easy to read
as one might expect from an agony aunt and there is a list of many helpful
organizations at the back.

How to Heal the Hurt By Hating
- Anita Liberty
It's poems and anecdotes et all. The best bit
is a piece for you to give to your mates so that they know what to say
if, in fact, they ever bump into YOUR ex. It's very funny, well, that
bit was anyway.

If
I Am So Great, Why Am I Still Single -
Susan Page
This book is interesting but can be dangerous in the
wrong hands. It won't be appropriate for everyone but it does offer
proactive strategies to finding the right partner for you, and chapter
10 has tips on self awareness and self-esteem -- both critical factors
in finding love.

me.

Obsessive Love: When It Hurts Too Much
to Let Go - Susan Forward
An old fave of mine - I first read this in 91, but have re-read
it more recently. Powerful stuff - essential for anyone who is finding
it hard to 'let go' of their EX.
