10 Bad Choices That Ruin Black Women's Lives

by Grace Cornish

In her best-seller, 10 Bad Choices That Ruin Black Women's Lives , relationship expert Dr. Grace Cornish has written a lively, provocative guide for black women everywhere who want to shed the duds and find the studs who will treat them with respect.        
        
According to Dr. Cornish, six out of every ten black women are either in bad relationships, share a man, or are celibate. The problem is not the women themselves, she explains, but the bad choices they keep making. In this frank and refreshing book, Dr. Cornish speaks to unique aspects of the African-American female psyche by targeting ten of the most common and foolish choices black women make in their lives regarding men, and how they can correct these problems.        
        
Relying on case studies, interviews, and the letters she has received, Dr. Cornish gets to the heart of the matter by illuminating why black women, no matter how smart, savvy, and successful, continue to lose at the dating game, and how they can face, erase, and replace the problems that have kept them from finding true love.

Thought Provoking Read

This book brings up a lot of good points. I like the fact that it will open dialogue with honest answers. It's not a man or woman bashing book. I will say though, people who have a hard time being honest with themselves will have a hard time with this book. It's meant for the inner self repair and reflection.

I’m so glad I got around to reading this book. When I first purchased it a few years ago I wasn’t really into it; that’s because I wasn’t ready. A few years later, as a late 20-something I definitely needed to read this book. So much good advice written decades ago that still applies today.

A very eye opening book. I'd highly suggest! Dr. Cornish is very relatable and speaks the truth. Read this book two years ago and still revisit from time to time.

This book really gave me a good understanding of common relationship mistakes. I don’t agree that this book only is for black women because all women can benefit from it. I also think that there are more things than men that ruin a black women’s life like her upbringing. Despite her lack of a range of topics it's a very useful book. It has helped me to examine my own current relationships. I learned that all men aren't dog!
