Been there, read that.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 17, 2008

The author has paid little attention to factual accuracy or factually supported arguments, instead putting forth archaic theories long since disproven by the majority of the scientific community. This book does not do justice to her peers, many self-help books are excellent and can change people's lives (eg. Chicken Soup for the Soul, The Tibetan Book of Living & Dying, etc.) - this is not one of them. Her shameful rhetoric is easy to see through. I would recommend this book to anyone who wishes to get angry over something, but doesn't know what.

A TRUE TREASURE!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 29, 2012

This book is a "KEEPER!" This is by far one of the BEST books I have ever read regarding relationships! I wish I had read it SOONER! It would have saved me a lot of WASTED YEARS...way too many to count! I strongly suggested to my sister and my best friend to read every last page BEFORE they ever even think about dating another "guy!" Cheers to finding Sanity, your own "DEAL BREAKERS" and a REAL MAN! XOXO
P.S. Pawn the jewelry and free yourself from such yuck memories! "They" aren't worth the privilege of you still wearing their meaningless "gifts!"

Yet Another Gomez Addams

absolutely the best lining for my African Gray's cage which I have yet found

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 28, 2019

Ms. Lawrence's work is sophomoric, puerile, naive, hidebound, at times hateful, frequently ignorant, and thoroughly, unrelentingly awful. The author possesses the intellectual agility of a small plastic soap dish, and all the warmth and personality of a dial tone. Her soul is as ugly as a bowling shoe and her writer's "voice" is as endearing as a banshee's.

Terrible Book As Usual

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 22, 2008

This is one of the 5 worse books I have ever written, and the other 4 were written by Cooper Lawrence as well. This woman is a complete hack who has lost all credibility. Her advice is insipid and anyone who takes the advice in this book are going to be disappointed when things get worse instead of better. Cooper Lawrence needs to stick to what she knows, which is nothing. Please stop killing trees to print your horrible books Cooper. I shudder at the mass effect this book will have on the populace.

Pretentious advice from a AMATEUR non psychologist.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 31, 2012

Save your money and don't buy this whit less, mindless dribble.

This entire book was written by a brain dead author with no credentials or real insight that approaches this book with a new age pop psychology outlook that is far more damaging for people who actually put weight in her words and follow them. This book is truly just a collection or snarky comments, used up phrases from TV shows like oprah and the view, and it's basically just aimed at telling women they are perfect. The author of this book after reading it I can honestly say is to self improvement books for women as miss cleo is to real psychics. Why anyone would listen to this trash is beyond me. She even touts her psychology experience like a sword despite she has no degree or proven or identifiable knowledge on the topic besides just tossing out a antic dote and giving the impression she think she has psychological experience and knowledge from life. Laughable.

I've actually read the operations manual for a ultra sonic lithotripter and I honestly found it to be much more enjoyable and better written than this thoughtless garbage.

Been there and back again.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 25, 2012

Filthy and trashy. The idea of finding a random person for true love out of the sky doesn't happen, you have to work towards a relationship. This book is for those who want to feel better about sleeping around and waking up unhappy with life. It deserves the low reviews it has, as the author needs to learn to write (and get some actual credentials, instead of acting like she has any). I wish I could return it, but the Citadel bookstore went out of business after that Reaper incident. So I cut it up and used it as litter for Space, my hamster who enjoys relieving himself upon the torn pages of this book.

Cooper Lawrence is NOT a psychologist

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 27, 2009

As a licensed psychologist who worked hard for my credentials and take my professional endeavors and commitment to help others seriously, I find Cooper Lawrence deeply disturbing on many levels. The title "psychologist" is legally and ethically reserved for individuals with a doctoral degree and that have furthermore met the rigorous criteria of state licensing boards. Cooper Lawrence has neither of these credentials.

Cooper Lawrence and the various "respected" national media outlets that feature her and her unsubstantiated, sensationalistic, and often downright erroneous advice should be held accountable for this unprofessional, inappropriate, unethical, irresponsible, and in my opinion often dangerous behavior.

There are competent psychologists out there that are committed to helping (not exploiting others for personal aggrandizement and financial gain). Please don't let the reputation of these professionals be tarnished by "psychology experts" like Cooper Lawrence.

Not your Mr Right, her Mr Right

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 22, 2009

Lawrence's guide to finding the perfect man is her guide, not yours! She doesn't take into account that all the "losers" are just different men going through different life stages. There's always a reason as to why a man behaved the way he did (party animal, video game bum, etc...), and its not always bad. Everyone needs an escape and that may be why he's into video games or parties. She never takes this into consideration, and basically just tells women how to harvest men like they're cattle. Again, she may have used these steps to find her man (bless his poor soul), but everyone is different. Use your own experiences to make you own steps into finding someone who truly loves you. I can guarantee that when you become a gold-digger by reading and following this book, love will be forever out of your life.
