If I could give less than 1 star I would. The book is repetitive and written in a simple minded fashion to a point that comes across as insulting. John Gray appears to inentionally fill pages by “bold typing and underlining” repeat phrases on almost every page. This book could not possibly bring help to anyone. You can learn more from watching daytime TV than you can from this book. A total waste of money.

I thot the original Venus & Mars book insightful, but I think Gray is riding his own wave with this one. It’s a -lot- of padding around a very few (and retreaded) ideas. Nutshell: (1) After a divorce/wife’s death, men remarry too quickly, usually within 6-12 months. Mistake. (2) Especially after a divorce, women tend to shy away from relationships, perhaps for years. Unfortunate. (3) This is the nugget I took away from this book (which is why you should save your money!): **Don’t get into a relationship until you don’t need one.** If you haven’t read the original book, get that one, but don’t bother with this one.

I forgot to ask the author a question: What if you really DON’T want to find love again? I don’t think that all of us are out there looking for soul mates. I think that some of us can love ourselves and lead very fulfilling lives without permanent partners. If you have just lost someone you love, suppose you decide enough really is enough and you’d rather be alone? Isn’t that okay too, providing you can be content with that decision?

John Gray, Ph.D. has an amazing understanding of hearts that have been broken by divorce or the death of a spouse. He has probably helped thousands of people through what can be a very long grieving process. Where this book falls short is advice on how to find a new love interest. Meeting your next sweetie can be very difficult, and this book gives very scant advice about where you would most likely meet that person. People who want a new spouse, significant other, lover, or friend for movies and vacations need more help than this book offers.Finding Your Sweetie After 50
