Guys, Don't Let the Pink Cover Fool You!

This is a must-read for any person, male or female, who wants tips on achieving self-confidence, an upbeat attitude, and happiness. Think of it as "30 Life Lessons" that demonstrates the power of positive thinking. As a male AND a teacher of high school students, I was struck by how much each and every page had words of wisdom that were applicable not just to the woman who has had her heart broken but also to guys, to high school students (who battle problems dealing with relationships and self-image on a DAILY basis!), and to my friends. As a teacher, this book was like a teaching aid; it equipped me with the tools that I could pass on to my students in my routine demonstration of "Life 101." As a male, this book made me realize the differences between how men and women approach relationships and how communication can be a really important factor in making those relationships successful. And as a friend to those close to me, boy oh boy, did it give me a great tutorial on what I can do and say to my friends when they appear "out of sorts," use negative self-talk, and act in self-destructive manners. Despite the focus on "heartbreak," this book has life lessons for EVERYONE, and it is worth the short time that it takes to read every insightful tip. Hickland's sincerity and compassion come through in her genuine tone, and it's as if she is sitting right beside you as the two of you enjoy a cup of coffee and talk about life. The conversational feel of this book is what makes it unique and inviting. You absolutely WILL NOT regret purchasing this book. It will become a permament part of your bookshelf collection!

A perfect guide to LIFE!

This book is a necessary tool for anyone who feels like they need direction in life or simply inspiration. Catherine Hickland walks you through the process of healing and gives the best advice of all: Be your own best friend. The exercises Catherine prescribes are wonderful and help you change your outlook on life. This book should be mandatory reading for everyone.

Self Empowering!

I read the book and I also highly recommend it. It's not a tell all type book, so don't expect to find juicy details about the author's breakups. She doesn't mention names. Very classy. She gives daily assignments and focuses on you getting through the breakup. It is an empowering book that teaches tools in feeling good about yourself, how to create the life that you desire, and techniques in dealing with people who demean you. This is a great book for anyone even if you're not going through a breakup. There is even a makeup lesson in there! Some of the chapters are "Being your Own Best Friend.", Manifesting Your Beautiful Life.", "Get off the Cross-We Need the Wood", "You're Making Me Uncomfortable.", etc. There's tips on what to look for when you are dating, signals to look for that will show you if the relationship can be successful such as how he treats others such as waitresses, friends and family.

A Cure For What "Ails" You!

Where has this book been all my life?!?! The 30-Day Heartbreak Cure: Getting Over Him and Back Out There One Month from Today is a must-read for anyone who lives and breathes. Whether you're struggling with a significant other, trying to emerge from a dead-end relationship, reeling from the loss of a job, coping with the death of a loved one, or facing just about any other conflict you can imagine...this book will be your new best friend. Even if you're contented with your interpersonal relationships, this book will truly teach you how to achieve your personal best. What you realize upon reading the very first chapter is that while heartbreak takes on many forms, we all respond the same. Catherine walks the reader through a foolproof, step-by-step process for reconciling our emotion and moving forward. She encourages us to use the past only as a portal for obtaining wisdom and strengthening our resolve, and reminds us that not only are we entitled to our emotions, but that we can channel them to triumph over grief and conflict. You will genuinely feel as though she is taking each step right along with you...which makes perfect sense, bearing in mind that she is writing from experience. There's no better way to start the New Year than by giving yourself the gift of reading this book, and I've recommended it to many people thus far!

One word...Excellent!

From what I have read so far, this book is excellent. The author speaks in very warm, caring tones. It feels like she's right there walking your through your heart ache. The positive affirmations are great! The suggestion for keeping a daily journal is extremely helpful. The expereiences and examples she gives...every woman can realte to. I found myself saying, "Amen" to alomost every word she wrote. I have read numerous other books on curing a broken heart, but this one has a real personal touch to it. I love it!! It has been very, very helpful to me. I wish she had written this book years ago! If you are experiencing a painful break up, this is the book for you. I will read this over and over again. Thank you Catherine! I also recommend How to Heal a Broken Heart in 30 Days. It is an EXCELLENT resource as well.
