Yes, I have this book. And yes, it's on audio tape. Whilst taking a leisurely drive home from Maryland to New York a few months ago, I stopped off at this depressing little outlet mall in Delaware. They had one of those cheap bookshops and outside, a rack with $1 audio books. Audio books, NPR, Prairie Home Companion, I love it all while driving so I thought I'd take a look. The best thing there was this Dr. Phil book and since hey, I'm a fool when it comes to love I thought why not?

I listened to the 6CD audio version of this book (read by Dr. Phil himself!).
After 1CD this is what I have learned:
Finding the right person: It IS a game, as he states and then restates for emphasis.
You are perfect already. Presumably it would be beyond his scope to fix you, to make you right for someone, so he assumes you are already basically perfect.
Women are the only ones who need advice in this area. Despite there being nothing saying this on More...

This was an OK read. I couldn't help noticing the similarity between some of the things Dr. Phil mentioned and some of the things Dr. Barbara De Angelis mentioned in her book "Are you the one for me?" (which I highly recommend by the way) which was published in the 90's. Also, Love Smart reminded me of "Why Men Love Bitches" (published in 2002), at least in parts. The book didn't feel original; I felt like I'd read it before (and I hadn't). There's really no wonderful advice

I enjoyed this well written book. Felt it was nicely laid out and enjoyed Dr. Phil's humor, analogies and personal stories as he relayed some insights into the male mind. He even went into the dreaded "dark zone."
This should be a MUST READ for all looking for or in a relationship, in my opinion.
There are some great questions Dr. Phil shows you how to present and read between the lines. Nicely done. Highly recommended.

So, my aunt bought me this book. And really, I only used part of it. At the beginning, it basically has you make an honest profile of yourself and it helps you narrow down what you want in your spouse. So, I made the list several months before I met my husband. And guess, what, my husband pretty much is that list. Otherwise, I didn't really read the rest of the book.

If you want to get married and are ready for that next step in your life, this is the book that will take you there. Dr Phil assists you with redefining realistic goals for the right type of man when searching for the one to marry. He helps to prepare you if you for real life and what a marriage should be. I read this book and met and married my husband within a year and a half!

'Love Smart' is down-to-earth and helpful. McGraw advises women how to develop and strengthen their niches (maneater, girl next door, etc.,) and gives insight on how men think and feel. He also teaches readers how to increase their self-esteem, be excellent conversationalists and provides insight on what to look for when meeting potential suitors.

Of course everytime I watch Dr. Phil or read one of his books, everything looks so easy. The book does have some very valid points, good suggestions and seems to make a whole lot of sense when looking at the big picture. It's just putting it all together that is difficult. Of course that is why we are reading it in the first place. It's not as simple as going to the local coffee shop, meeting the guy and finding out he's great and living out our happy little lives. Sometimes we don't meet t

After I read this I made a list (like it suggests in the book) about what I wanted in a lifelong partner. I started dating David shortly thereafter and realized that he had more than the suggested 80% of qualities that I was looking for in a mate. We got engaged 8 months later.

The best part of this book is the part that talks about "finding yourself" I do agree that it's very important to find yourself before find your partner/love. The first one actually helps you to find the second one.
The book has some interesting tips though.

This is obviously a self help book. So as far as entertaining, it wasn't. But there was a lot of good stuff in it. I think it would be very helpful for a lot of people, just not me. But I think I would recommend it if you're struggling with your marriage or something.

Learned the differenc in how men and women perceive life around them. How they interact with each other in effective ways for a good relationhip. Learned what not to do in relationship.

One of my best friends gave me this one year for my birthday. It has a lot of common sense advice, but I enjoyed reading it and the reminders about loving yourself first.

Another one I listened to on audio... Wasn't a huge fan of it as Dr. Phil is the one reading it, and he gets on my nerves, lol.

this doesn't speak to everyday women, women that have it together but still wants to find love...this book is for those that doesn't know how to take care of themselves- that needs the hand holding to get out of bed and take a shower, put on a little gloss and self worth. Dr. Phil is preying on the fat, the ugly, and the low-esteemed people in America. I know- I sound cruel and insensitive- but those are my thoughts.
