You Can Be Single and Happy
Whether you are actively looking for a mate or have decided that marriage isn't what you want right now, psychotherapists Xavier Amador and Judith Kiersky can help you deal with the problems that come from being single in a couples' world.
Drawing on years of clinical experience and research with both single and married clients, Amador and Kiersky have identified the five common stumbling blocks that can get in the way of enjoying singlehood. Taking a careful look at the obstacles that cause single people the most pain, the authors have developed a four-step plan to help you achieve balance and happiness -- whether or not you stay single. And the first and most challenging step is to stop buying into old-fashioned ideas about singlehood and marriage.
Combining clear advice and vivid case examples, Being Single in a Couples' World gives all of us the tools we need to find our way to a healthier self and more meaningful relationships.

Title: More of an opinion piece
Review: I found this book rather disappointing! There are some things the author does well on writing about. Like the fact that some are automatically viewed as being mature to be married and some are viewed as immature because they are not married. That is definitely true in my family.But, I felt alienated from the author in this book. The author has readers picture their dream home with their future spouse. A story is introduced of a person that dreams of this suburb home but lives in a big city. The author then concludes that single people often dream of things very differently from reality. I own my home and can very well picture the family I want in the home because I live in the home.The author also seems to have a very negative view of any religious background and political conservative values. As both a Christian and a conservative I found many of the assumptions given far from true.Overall, I did not find this book very helpful for myself. If you have a good grasp of who you are and what you want, you may not enjoy this book.

Title: A must read for any single, any age!
Review: I bought this book used because I wasn't sure of it. This is a good book for those evaluating why they are single. It's not a "how to" book for meeting men but rather a book that looks at your "life script" and how it creates a self-fullfilling prophecy that keeps you being single. Written by a therapist who has worked with many singles, Once you figure out what you keep telling yourself, accept responsibility for your part in being single then you can be happy about being single and open to other possibilities....

Title: No new information here...........
Review: I found this book very difficult to get through and skipped many pages along the way.If you are a single person who doesn't "blame" anyone for being single you won't want to waste your money on this book.The main reason I bought the book was the caption on the bottom of the cover "how to be happily single while looking for love". I can honestly say I belive the authors forgot to include that section in the book.The information provided is repetetive, it points out how our culture views single people, how much pressure they receive and from which direction the pressure comes from. If you are single none of the information in this book will be a revelation to you.

Review: I would only give this 3 stars because it appears to focus on younger people who are yet unmarried. If you are widowed - especially in the older age group then the reasons you may be in a prolonged single phase include difficult demographics. Overall there are many reasons why people are single (when they dont want to be) and the reasons cited in the book are limited.
