Why Do I Think I Am Nothing Without a Man?

I think this BOOK is great due to the women like me who needs to know what we are doing and Why. Growing up can sometime make us feel like we are doing something wrong if we are not in a relationship. I purchase this book the first time at a garage sale best purchase I have made before now. I was married for 16 years which end in a divorce. Now I can be happy whether I'm in a relationship or not. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INSIGHT.

It always bothered me that my daughters were so delighted with Cinderella and Snow White... the saving grace in the form of a fairy godmother or prince charming just sets girls up to feel the need to be rescued. Dr. Russianoff's book is one that allows all women to be "real". To take control, to accept responsibility for our own happiness in life and in love, to feel a deep sense of pride and self-contentment in ourselves is something that we can only give ourselves. Looking for someone to fill a void and make us happy always leaves us feeling sorely disappointed. I was very saddened to hear of the Dr's death, but am thankful for the words of wisdom left to us. My dog-eared copy of this book will gladly be passed down to both of my daughters as they approach maturity.

This book has helped me through the good times as well as the bad, inspiring me to be more at peace with myself. It helped me to finally realise that I am something without a man - and an awesome something at that. Thankx Penelope for enabling me to get an outlook on reality - away from the subjective world I've been enclosed in for so many years. A fantastic book that every girl and woman should read - it should be mandatory!
