Readers Digest Review

By Dee Wagner, LPC, BC-DMT

We are so excited to be reviewed by Readers Digest! "Anyone who has ever dated online, or thinks he/she might, will find this book quite useful. The table of contents is rather playful, but the contents of the book are consistently strong with ways to reap the most benefit, and the least stress, from online dating. Readers will receive practical advice to handle the virtually inevitable likelihood of receptions and rejections. Dealing with the emotional aspect is meaningfully broken down to help people stay in focus, avoid knee-jerk reactions, and see things clearly. Attachments, and their impact, are clearly discussed. The factor of Zen, and how it can modify the online sensations, also comes into play. The overall impact of the pointers can greatly reduce an intimidating or forbidding factor that often accompanies this process. Major chapters cover how to create your profile and assess the profiles of possible dates, a dozen steps to avoid or alleviate any email checking addiction, staying reasonably self-centered, and when to reach out or conversely back off. Other key chapters take in the subjects of sex and romance and what to realize about these key components of a potential relationship. Flash points in each chapter highlight key pointers. There’s a great deal of white space for journaling and to jot down notes and impressions. Suggested books to read is also a good feature. The title/subtitle/cover image are all playful and very likely to attract interest."
