Philippa Courtney, a respected business consultant who advised scientists and engineers at major technological companies, was less successful in her personal life, until she developed a process based on the very principles that worked so well for her clients. This 4 step process produced amazing results for her and then for the students at her popular workshops. Also a former writer of situation comedies, her refreshingly revealing book engages the reader with humorous anecdotes and provides innovative yet practical tools. She substantiates her common sense strategies with real life business and personal examples.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a very special book, December 5, 1999

By A Customer

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

By	William Bennett (Florida USA) - See all my reviews

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

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!
