Cheap Psychological Tricks for Lovers

Don't let the title mislead you. There's nothing ... about it (except for the price.) This gem contains some very valuable information. I normally read mostly history, so I'm not into "fluff." Dr. Buffington combines the science of psychology with practical lessons one will find useful whether one is currently in a relationship or still looking. Dr. Buff's delightfully witty and concise writing style make this book loads of fun to read. You'll breeze right through it and then want to keep it nearby for reference. I've bought extra copies as gifts for friends who also loved it.

The book is a collection of various tidbits of psychological research and footnotes on where to go to get further information. Presented in a fun and light style it is easy to read and presents some interesting items. I don't really like the title because the items are not really cheap tricks. They are pieces of information collected from many sources that are at least educational in nature. There are parts that are very useful and may help each partner understand each other better. Would I use this to try to save a floundering relationship? No, but on the other hand, if you are trying to understand each other or get the other person's attention then it has several techniques for that purpose.All in all it is fun and interesting and I enjoyed reading it. At least when it described some of the ways that men think it was dead on. Hopefully, it is just as accurate when describing the way that women think and you can gain some understanding of your spouse.

It's filled with information one can use over and over again in one's daily life, written in a very entertaining style. I enjoyed many out-loud chuckles (some of the references are quite clever.) If you're looking for the usual psychobabble, you'll not find it here. It contains clear, concise information presented with a very healthy dose of humor. Without the humor, it would be well worth the purchase. With the humor, it is a treasure!
