Guardian: ‘Wonderfully comforting…… someone has just made sense of me’
For the full review and to read about journalist Hannah Booth’s experience of being counselled by Andrew: www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/feb/13/better-relationships-hannah-booth
Evening Standard (London) ‘An insightful guide’
While the East Anglian Daily Press looked at four ‘dating’ books and had the following to say about my book……
‘A straight talking book that refuses to sugar coat the truth of why you might be alone. Andrew G Marshall uses his twenty-five years of experience as a marital therapist to look at underlying trends - why it’s becoming harder to meet people - and what you are personally doing to stop it. Marshall asks you to take a long hard look at your decisions and behaviour. His guide to revealing your flawed psyche is easy to follow with each chapter ending in a brief summary followed by exercises.’
Meanwhile, here is some feedback from readers:
Hi Andrew,
Just read the single trap. Its the first book in my life that i have read
in a day. Jesus where has this information been all my life.
I’m 38 a successful confident business man who has a poor
self image and the projection thing blew my mind.
thanks for your time
Gary
Next a review by ‘thirty-something’ off amazon:
“This is the best book on relationships I have ever read (and I have read a lot!). It is not a book about ‘dating’, which is a real positive, as many books I have read about male/female relationships are about ‘how to play the game’. This book is about being comfortable with yourself and being ready for a relationship. When you are ready, it advises on the best way of meeting (and recognising) someone else in a similar space. There is little point in trying to form a relationship until you are both in the right place - sounds obvious, but I am sure a lot of us having wasted time trying to make relationships work when the timing is wrong for one party.
The book is practical and pragmatic, with lots of examples of individuals of different ages and in different circumstances (divorced, children, widowed etc). I found the fact that it was written someone who lives in the UK meant that it was much easier to relate than some of the very US-centric books on relationships I have read. Having said that, the advice would benefit anyone from anywhere across the globe.
The book is very well written. I can’t recommend it enough - I couldn’t put it down. Thank you Andrew G Marshall - I wish I had read this book ten years ago!”
