4.0 out of 5 stars This is a very special book, December 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: 4 Steps to bring the Right Person into your life Right Now! (Paperback)
If you're getting tired of being in the dating jungle and are starting to think that sitting on your couch with TV and ice cream is better than any date out there, this is a good book for you. Philippa knows what it's like. She walks you through what she did to find a lasting, terrific relationship, and in the process helps you feel hopeful and positive about your own romantic chances. She helps you create an "emotional snapshot" - basically, an internalized emotional picture of how great you'll feel when you're with the right person. As well as getting to think about what has made you feel happy in the past, you get to imagine how great you'll feel with your special someone. It cuts to the crucial elements of a relationship: not what your love interest looks like, or what he or she does, but how you feel when you're around them. It makes you feel hopeful about the good things you can get from dating, and from a relationship. Easy to read and follow, plenty of examples for guidance. Good tips for evaluating dating resources (on line dating, the personals, video dating) too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bill's book review, August 22, 2000
This review is from: 4 Steps to bring the Right Person into your life Right Now! (Paperback)
After the demise of two marriages and several failed relationships, I found the Meant2be 4-step book to be more valuable than I ever could have imagined. As a businessman, I appreciate the author's analytical approach to finding and recognizing the right person, as opposed to my previously random and time-consuming ways. Although I have not yet found the "right" person for me, I now feel that I can define this special person and will recognize her soon after meeting her. The book was funny, easy to read, and hit home for me. I recommend this book to all single people that seek to put fun, logic, realism and time efficiency into dating and matchmaking. I only wish I had read this book a long time ago!

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling Solution for a Dating Cynic, January 7, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: 4 Steps to bring the Right Person into your life Right Now! (Paperback)
I received Courtney's "4 Steps" book for Christmas. At first I was dubious having seen all the sophomoric "dating" books in the bookstores. But after a closer look I was very pleasantly surprised. This book is logical, it is filled with common sense plus I had more than few chuckles from the author's candid and well-written stories. You can tell that the author really knows what it's like to be a single adult these days. As a twice divorced father of two teens, I have become somewhat of a dating cynic, but reading this book has made me willing to give it one more try knowing I'll be a whole lot smarter this time.

I strongly recommend this book - a great read with great advice!

5.0 out of 5 stars Relating Again Confidently after a 23-year Marriage, October 29, 2000
By 
This review is from: 4 Steps to bring the Right Person into your life Right Now! (Paperback)
4 STEPS TO BRING THE RIGHT PERSON INTO YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW! encountered me when I was recently separated after a twenty-three marriage. While I already knew I still wanted the right long-term relationship, I was skeptical that anything other than the time-honored trial and error method of finding a mate would work. But my first trial was a crashing error, so I figured anything was worth a try at that point. Philippa Courtney's straightforward, warm, and humorous style convinced me her process made sense. I worked through the steps she outlined, something I rarely have the patience for. I was able to turn my jumbled thoughts and emotions about the kind of man I thought I wanted into something tangible and clear. A year later, and long since divorced, I've built good relationships with several men. It hasn't been a pain-free year. But I've gone from lamenting my age and my history, and assuming there is no one out there for me, to knowing there is someone. I've become stronger in myself, more adventuresome and confident in meeting men, and more knowledgeable about the relationship I ultimately want to have. Of course I still want that relationship yesterday...I think...but I am having fun, something I would not have imagined possible when I was first separated. And one of these tomorrows he will walk into my life and, most importantly, I will recognize him. I may have arrived at this point eventually, but 4 STEPS TO BRING THE RIGHT PERSON INTO YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW! helped me to get there a lot sooner.

I've taken Philippa's mean2be seminar and found this book to reinforce sound principles that make sense.

It's a quick read, and I found it comforting for the soul. I highly recommend it!

This review is from: 4 Steps to bring the Right Person into your life Right Now! (Paperback)
I bought three books on dating over 40. This was the most useful and POSITIVE book of the three.

It has one look at things differently and doesn't want you to settle. It has sound advise.

I have recommended this book to others and have lend it out as well.

------------------
Update - I lent it out and it hasn't come back, so I am ordering another.
