Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Jeffers, author of Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway ( LJ 2/1/87), explores the problems women have in opening up to and forming good relationships with men. She argues that though the women's movement has benefited women it has also left them and the men in their lives confused about their new roles and new ways of relating. Jeffers's theory is that each woman is responsible for her reactions to what life brings and that by holding up a mirror to herself she can see her behavior and change it to accomplish what she wants. The use of writing exercises and repetitive affirmations are recommended to help women get in touch with their feelings and alter their responses to men. This will be a popular self-help title.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK HELPED ME TO SEE WOMEN FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW, July 10, 2002

Without the male-bashing you so often get in the media. It can be just as helpful for men to read as it is for the women. Her advice is based on universal principles. I appreciate her honesty and her cheerful attitude.

If you want to be angry or criticize, go find another book. If you want to heal, this book is a good place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Helped Me Find My Husband, March 8, 2002

This review is from: Opening Our Hearts to Men (Paperback)

This is the first self-help book about relationships that actually looks at the relationship between men and women in a POSITIVE light. Instead of taking an antagonistic view of male/female relationships and bashing the opposite sex, Susan Jeffers suggests that each of us (women and men) look within and make changes while trying to create the right relationship. She helps women see that men are more like women than not--and that we all really need the same things from a relationshp. She also encourages women to assess their current relationships and to understand what they are and are not getting from them. I met the man of my dreams while reading this book because I had my defenses down and MY HEART OPEN. I just bought two more copies for my friends. Read this book with an open mind, an open heart and a pencil. You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Opening Our Hearts to Men, January 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Opening Our Hearts to Men (Paperback)

This was an excellent book. It went much further than just "opening my heart to men". I felt that it helped me to open my heart to positive change and expanding myself - to change myself and make every relationship in my life richer. Susan Jeffers is a very upbeat author who had the ability to move me to real positive action. She offered tools to help me change. Plus, she took away scapegoats (especially my husband) and helped me to realize that I must take responsibility for my own happiness.
