A seriously good guide to letting go. by Jessica Goodall

Don't call that mean really spoke to me, so I had to buy it. It's not a really long book full of dos and don't, necessarily, it's mostly about identifying what you're doing that isn't working and then working through that. I liked the advice very much and think it will really help me when I actually apply it to my life. I think it's one of the best guides to letting go once and for all and moving away from the men in a girl's life that aren't good for them. I liked it enough to recommend it to friends, along with Man Magnet: How to Be the Best Woman You Can Be in Order to Get the Best Man-A Guide To Dating (Revised Edition).

Do NOT call that man! by D. Blakely

This is such a good read in that it's about that part of all of us who have trouble not letting some jerk go and think that if we call him, he'll pick up and we'll live happily ever after. Well, this book puts all that to rest and tells you how to avoid ever doing this. It's a thin book, but contains some great info on the subject. A must read, along with He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys.

From many books I read about this subject, this was the only one that worked for me so far. Well, it doesn't "switch off" the feelings and if you really love somebody it won't stop it at once, but it helps TO SURVIVE (those who really suffer will understand) - well, it is a SURVIVAL guide ;-) - and does this work very well... not just for the time of reading (what is also important).

This book became my bible during my senior year of college when my boyfriend rejected me and took up with my good friend after almost 5 years together. "Don't Call That Man" is an easy, comforting, and helpful read for any woman feeling the pain of a lost love. It's a perfect go-to resource in those moments of despair, anger, or even temporary insanity. I can't recommend it enough!

Empowers women to let go & move on! by Nicky Vanvalkenburgh (South Carolina)

Author & psychotherapist Rhonda Findling hits the nail on the head with this book. It's like talking to a girlfriend who completely understands you, acknowledges your pain, and gives you excellent advice for moving on. Seriously, this book is pure gold! The best chapter in the book deals with the Ambivalent Man. That is, someone who gives you mixed signals-- being enthralled with you one minute, and then indifferent & rejecting the next. Women tend to run after the Ambivalent Man, assuming that we've done something to turn him off. Ms. Findling assures us that it's not our fault, and most of the time has nothing to do with us. The Ambivalent Man has unresolved emotional issues. He is "emotionally infantile, and has not progressed to the point of being psychosexually mature." (Hmmm, it's insights like this that give women their power back! I say, bring it on!) The Ambivalent Man is also afraid of intimacy. He is afraid of opening up, for fear of getting hurt. Obviously, he is not going to admit to this. That's ok, because his insecurity screams louder than words. A fear of intimacy shows up as busyness (no time for you), his tendency to act superior, displaying anger or hostility to keep you away, pointing accusatory fingers at you, judging you instead of looking within, etc. Wow, what an eye opener! It's information like this that will empower women everywhere. As Ms. Findling suggests, "real women don't settle for crumbs!" Instead, set a higher standard for yourself. The Ambivalent Man isn't worth your time and energy. "Don't Call that Man" is supported with case histories & personal stories to bring the message home. Ms. Findling's writing style is chatty, engaging and fun. She makes you laugh at times, catching you off-guard with the phrase, "Don't Call That Man!" Thumbs up for this excellent book!
