Product Details


Product Description

From Kirkus Reviews

The bestselling author of Secrets of Men Every Woman Should Know (1990) and How to Make Love All the Time (1987) now dissects bad love choices. Quizzes, lists, and anecdotes render De Angelis's sensible material in easy-to-swallow morsels. Early on, readers are asked to make lists of past lovers' worst qualities and then to write a want ad for a partner, highlighting the common themes (``WANTED: Self- absorbed, damaged loser who has lots of potential and is doing nothing with it....''); and possible roots for these perverse attractions in the childhood family experience are then explored. Readers count off ``the seven wrong reasons to be in a relationship'' (from ``sexual hunger'' to ``emotional or spiritual emptiness''); ``nine fatal flaws to watch out for in a partner'' (addiction, control-freak tendencies, sexual dysfunction); seven compatibility time-bombs, etc. Although the majority of the text deals with negatives, going on the theory that recognizing self- destructive habits is the major step toward overcoming them, De Angelis comments briefly on the attitudes and flexibility necessary for change. Those unsure of whether to commit may value the elaborate self-test offered here, leading to a numerical assessment of compatibility. Given a tolerance for lists and comfort with an approach that precludes subtlety, readers with histories of unhappy relationships may gain insight from this solid, well-organized advice. -- Copyright ©1992, Kirkus Associates, LP.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Don't Attract Who You Want - You Attract Who You Are, Sep 2 2003
By 
Carmen Matthews "The Serene Samurai" (San Diego, California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Are You the One for Me?: Knowing Who's Right and Avoiding Who's Wrong (Mass Market Paperback)
Although this book is promoted as a great source for those who have had bad relationships, and for those who are unsure of whether or not this is the one to commit to, I'd say that this is an excellent book in between relationships.

One of the first tasks in this book is to make a list of all of your past lovers. Then, next to their names, write a list of their negative character traits.

Once you have this list, write a personals ad that projects you asking for a man to come into your life who has the negative character traits that those men have.

You will laugh, then you will be able to replace those negative character traits with positive ones.

The beauty of this book is that you will enhance your self-definition, and automatically detract what you don't want, while you attract what is within your inner being.

Reading a book like this one while you are in a relationship is more of a challenge than if you take the time to study the lessons, while you commit to not being in a relationship, until you have cleaned up your unfinished business from your past.

1.0 out of 5 stars Warning! This book is hazardous to your relationships!, Jun 22 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Are You the One for Me?: Knowing Who's Right and Avoiding Who's Wrong (Mass Market Paperback)
It's my understanding that the author has been divorced a number of times. The author appears to be more of an expert on ending relationships than in improving relationships.

I read this book because my wife and I were having some difficulties. I was hoping that the book might help me deal with the marital problems we were having. This book turned our marriage in the wrong direction and almost caused me to lose the most important person in my life.

This book caused me to focus on the negative aspects of our relationship. It caused me to "magnify" the differences between my wife and I, even though these differences exist between most men and women. After reading this book I came to the conclusion that my wife and I were "incompatible" and that we should just end the marriage.

Thank goodness, during our separation, I read another book, "Relationship Rescued". This book more correctly pointed out that we should acknowledge the differences between men and women and realize that these differences are okay. In addition, the differences that exist between a husband and wife can actually enrich each other's life.

I'm happy to say that using the information from "Relationship Rescued", my marriage has been saved and gets better every day. I wouldn't recommend "Are you the one" to anyone. I thought about selling my copy at a garage sale, but I don't want to risk damaging someone else's marriage. This book should be burned.

If you are having difficulties in your marriage, I recommend that you stay away from "Are you the One" and instead read "Relationship Rescued". You will be much happier with the results.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful, Nov 3 2003
This review is from: Are You the One for Me?: Knowing Who's Right and Avoiding Who's Wrong (Mass Market Paperback)
When I bought this book, I thought it was a book based on biblical scriptures. I quickly found that it wasn't however, the material in the book is excellent. I found myself looking at me, my past and seeing why I was getting what I was getting in past relationships. A lot of time we blame our partner but we must also look at ourselves, we need to be more selective with whom we allow to enter our lives.

This book is a good resource tool. It allows you to look at yourself and determine what to (and not to) look for in a potential mate.
