In Love Smart: Find the One You Want -- Fix the One You Got, Dr. Phil tells people who are dissatisfied with their love lives to stop making excuses -- All the good ones are taken; I'm too fat/skinny/boring/unpredictable for anyone to love me; I should stick with the relationship I have, I'm not going to do any better -- and start taking action!

First, though, you need to determine what you want in a partner, plot your course and get out there and create velocity in your pursuit of a loving connection. The dating world is a vastly new place: meeting people at bars or through friends used to be the only option, but that's not true anymore.

Love Smart: Find the One You Want -- Fix the One You Got will show you how to stop stumbling through your love life. You will learn to:

Present the real you in the most flattering light. Are you your own best kept secret? Do you fail to show the world how truly fabulous and interesting you are? As Dr. Phil says, you can't fake fabulous. Don't act passive if three months into the relationship you're going to spring your true, opinionated personality on him; don't act wild if you really just want to sip tea with your mate in front of your favorite nighttime drama. Define who you are and then ride that horse!

Peek behind the male curtain. Knowledge is power, and Dr. Phil tells you things about men that they don't necessarily want you to know -- their deepest needs and fears (yes, they have those, too, though they deny it), and how to decode their words and actions.

Master the right moves. Once you've learned to put the best you forward, you need to go to places where you'll find interesting people and invite interaction. Don't fade into the wallpaper; get noticed and get involved. If you're already coupled up, learn to grow and nurture what you have and build a more fun, enjoyable and intimate relationship.

Bag 'em, tag 'em and take 'em home. Once you put those right moves into action, there will be no stopping you! Dr. Phil shows you how to negotiate the relationship you desire and then close the deal with the one you want.

Get out of your relationship rut. When you first fell in love, your heart raced just at the thought of him. But the daily grind, money problems, work, etc. have drained the life out of your relationship, and you take each other for granted. That doesn't mean you've fallen out of love. Dr. Phil shows you how to assess the state of your union and take the relationship to a deeper level.

Dr. Phil says there are no exceptions: There is somebody for everybody, and everybody deserves a relationship filled with love and excitement. Love Smart: Find the One You Want -- Fix the One You Got offers you the plan to find not just any relationship but the committed, loving, joy-filled relationship you've been waiting for.

What Customers Say About Love Smart: Find the One You Want- -Fix the One You Got:

The themes in the book are really right on and he has some of the best advice I've come across. So glad I did. I've been a big fan of Dr. Phil for a while but for some reason never got around to reading his book. He's got the wit and humor and insight I crave from a self help relationship guide.

ago, so I can see times have changed since then. Please cut to the chase. My daughter is 25 and would benefit from the advice at the heart of this book, but i can see her giving up on it before getting to the meat of it. Phil's book is full of great info, however, had I not known of him previously to be trustworthy in his advice, i have to say, it took a lot of patience sometimes wading through the repetitiveness and the "set up" before the actual advice. Phil is a husband and father and takes those roles just as important as being an author, talk show host, and celebrity. I realize that this book was written 10 yrs.

I love that Dr. Dr. My advice is a rewrite in a more straightforward way. There is too much instant access to all kinds information.

I read this book around 2-3 years ago (borrowed it from a friend). And it goes into ways of how to play up your positives and downplay your negatives. I expected this chapter to be filled with cliches ("ALL MEN THINK ABOUT IS SEX. LOL."), but it was really thoughtfully written. If you know what you want and be realistic about it, then you're able to go out there and look for this person. So overall, I'm pretty happy with how this book left me with useful pieces of knowledge, even years after the initial read.

DEAL WITH IT. It acknowledges that you have flaws, but that you can change them without changing your personality. BUT he's written a good book here, and I can't deny that. YEAH.") and that aimlessness kind of led me nowhere.

If you're looking for a long-term partner, this is the one to read. Maybe I'll go back to my friend to borrow it again for a refresher.The reason I docked off a star -- this book's geared towards looking for a serious relationship, not casual dating. The book achieves this by having you write down lists. And seeing his face on the cover of this book just makes me laugh.

Three years on, I find that a lot of the tips/advice are staying with me and affecting my life positively.One major thing that I remember is to be able to know and articulate what you want from a partner. Yeah, a little corny, but it worked.Another thing I like is the honest explanation of the differences between how men think and how women think. (For example -- IN GENERAL men are more results-driven, while women often like to talk about things without needing to "fix" it at the end). I think there's nothing wrong with going on casual dates for fun (you know you're not going to marry him) but the book doesn't go into that.

I usually can't stand this guy on TV. Before reading the book, I found that I was very vague about what I actually wanted ("A GREAT GUY. These have been good things to know, not just in the relationship field, but in interacting with my male friends.I remember the general feeling of the book was optimistic, but realistic.

I recommend it to any woman that is struggling in her quest to find the love relationship with the right man. I ordered the CD's and book and found having both very effective in my reading and note taking. This is another good one. Phil spells out for us ladies, some insight on how a man thinks, and knowing that how we can apply the knowledge in a relationship with a man. I have other books by Dr. Phil and enjoyed his "cut to the chase" attitude. Dr.

Very good book by Dr. Only complaint is the print is too small for my aging eyes. Book arrived as promised--new. Phil McGraw.
