Editorial Reviews

Writing for wives who are "tired of it all," McClary (women's health, Univ. of North Carolina) offers women techniques for owning their future, building self-confidence, and remaking their lives with men into healthy, mutually satisfying relationships. Her advice is based on the sound psychological premise that people can't change another person-they can only change themselves. Only a conscious, continual, confirming commitment toward fullness and self-love can help one partner deal with the ups and downs of married life, argues McClary in a heartfelt, older sister's voice. The subjects she covers are relevant to long-term relationships and include such topics as "How To Recognize and Treat Relationship Attention Deficit Syndrome." Recommended for public libraries. Ritberger (What Color Is Your Personality?) uses a scientific and humanistic approach to help readers understand how personality makeup affects one's view and experience of love. She organizes personality types into colors and explains what makes a particular color group tick. She then offers tips for dealing with that group. For example, it's beneficial to go slow with "oranges" and let them take the initiative, while it's helpful to voice respect and appreciation with "yellows." Her theory is that understanding leads to creating and sustaining a mutually satisfying relationship. Interesting for larger libraries. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
