Product Description
From Amazon
For women who want to love men, but not too much, Judith Sills provides a balanced recipe. Breathe a sigh of relief: this is not a lesson on how to serve or please men more. True to her feminist roots, Sills insists that love should never include tolerating sexist politics or overlooking abuses and injustices. In order to love men more and need them less, Sill teaches women how to be yogis--maintaining a firm grip on their voices, needs, and desires, while also finding the flexibility to truly love and accept the men in their lives.
Book Description
A psychologist shows women how they can stop needing men--and negotiating with them--and start loving them, offering day-to-day psychological strategies for single and married women that are designed to help them discover the path to true love. Reprint. Tour.

This Relationship Book is the only one I've Ever Kept,
By
This review is from: Loving Men More Needing Men Less (Paperback)
Judith Sills tells us how we can change our relationships with men by Refocusing, Reframing, and Responding Differently to our man's behavior. And since Sills says it better than I can, I'll quote a few sentences from her first chapter:"Focusing on men has taken us as far as it can. This book is written directly to women, and just about women, so that we can turn the corner. The way we turn the corner is that we let go of the idea of getting to love by helping men to change. In our all-too-understandable obsession with getting more of what we need and what we are reasonably entitled to in a relationship, we have overlooked a key psychological truth: ** relationships depend far less on whom we choose than on who we are.**.... You are the single most important factor in whom you choose to love, and in what you experience in return. Love is a measure of your own inner stretch..." If that paragraph intrigues you, you'll find much of value here. Throughout the rest of the book, she'll gently -- and a little philosophically -- show you how you can help yourself to stretch further. And despite her statement that she is writing for women on the topic of romantic love, much of what she says about love applies in family and friend relationships as well.

A Keeper,
This review is from: Loving Men More Needing Men Less (Paperback)
This book shows me how to be more tolerant of the man in my life. My expectations can be pretty high--almost unrealistic. I am reminded to let my signifcant other have his shortcomings while allowing some of my needs to be met though other people and, that the only one I can change is myself. It is one of the best relationship books on how to co-exist with another human being and still be a loving mate. Judith Sills is insightful and skilled in her professional life and with her writing, she's one of my favorite "how-to" authors.

This is the best engagement gift I could've gotten.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Loving Men More Needing Men Less (Paperback)
Judith tells women how to love the man we choose for who he is rather than for who he should be. We cannot change HIM, only our own interpretations. She calls this "refocusing", moving our thinking from "What's wrong with him?" to "What is it I need, and do I necessarily need it from him?" She gives us scenarios of different couples' ways of communicating from doing laundry to watching sports, which are familiar and funny. She teaches us, not submission, but how to help ourselves become more interdependent with our mate, allowing us to love him more, need him less.
