All the Good Ones Aren't Taken: Change the Way You Date and Find Lasting Love

If you always experience the same unhappy endings in your relationships, All the Good Ones Aren't Taken offers an empowering approach to changing your romantic life. Dr. Debbie Magids will help you understand the patterns of behavior that are keeping you stuck and teach you to make changes in the way you think, behave, and feel, so that you can find the love you want. Who are you? The Old Faithful, who longs for the one she can't have and can't move forward. The Whirlwind Dater, who constantly dates whoever she can but has difficulty finding a permanent mate. The Standstill, who has done a lot of work on becoming the best woman she can be, but rarely dates and has a difficult time relating to men on an intimate level. The Forbidden Fruit Hunter, who gets involved with men who are married, already have a girlfriend, or are still hung up on an ex and therefore emotionally unavailable. The Compassionate Rescuer, who always dates the guy who has problems, putting her energy into "fixer upper" boyfriends. The Wanderer, for whom just one man is not enough to fill the void, so she always has a lover or potential boyfriend on the side. The Uptown Girl, who is attracted only to men with money, prestige, and looks. The Runaway Bride, who is good at relationships until asked to commit - then she finds a way to end the relationship, pronto.

Because women read books differently than guys do... Every woman knows ... books are more than a way to kill time on the bus — they're therapy that fits in our bag. Whether we're wallowing in a sullen perennial adolescence or our biological clock is ringing and we can't find the snooze button, books are the dog-eared friends that help us deal with our baggage as we navigate life's journey. Now Bibliotherapy prescribes the best of classic and contemporary Chick Lit that women turn to again and again — for inspiration (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn) ... for escape (Ladder of Years) ... for revenge against the patriarchy (Our Blood) ... and for bonding with our girlfriends (Waiting to Exhale). Upper-thigh spread sparking a midlife crisis? Read A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains and remember that it's not over until the fat lady yodels. Did your pot of gold turn out to be fourteen-karat tin? Open your eyes with Awakening to the Sacred and learn to savor your rainbow. Wondering what all the fuss is about? Climb into bed with Lady Chatterley's Lover and explore your pleasure potential. With provocative points to ponder as you read ("What is the metaphorical significance of a codpiece?"), fun quotes, and a list of books that must not be read but, in Dorothy Parker's words, "thrown with great force," Bibliotherapy ensures you'll always find the right literary prescription — no matter what phase of life you're teetering on the brink of! Plus: Doomed but Inspired Heroes ... Books to Read When You're Sick of Your Career and Are Seriously Considering Taking Up Alpaca Ranching in Peru ... Bad Girls We'd Like to Have Over for Girls' Night ... Books That Are the Equivalent of Citronella for Men ... and much more!
