Riassunto

Having previously set out her "surrendering" principles for wives (and ruffling the feathers of feminists), Laura Doyle now tackles the single girl and shows how to get used to surrendering while preparing yourself for your man to propose. Doyle encourages you to re-evaluate your attitudes towards dating and marriage as the first step, confronting your desire for a mate and acknowledging your own fear of commitment. Once this is established, she takes you through the actual date with some good old-fashioned tips on flirting and on your code of conduct. So once you have your man, how do you hold him? Well, Laura advises that you start relinquishing control to avoid having to change later. Unless of course you have chosen an "incomplete" man - one who watches "Oprah" and isn't hugely interested in sports, cars and guitars. If this is the case, you should probably say "goodbye". "The Surrendered Girl" is wholly outrageous and politically incorrect; nevertheless, the principles are honest and insightful, in the process of seeking a happy relationship of mutual trust, love and adoration.

Recensione

Praise for THE SURRENDERED SINGLE:
'I applaud Laura Doyle's book. Doyle is authentic and shows how to be strong enough to be vulnerable so you can open the door to real love' Philippa Courtney, author of 4 STEPS TO BRING THE RIGHT PERSON INTO YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW
Praise for THE SURRENDERED WIFE:
'I can highly recommend this book to anyone dissatisfied with the lack of support they receive from their husband. My whole attitude of giving and receiving within marriage has changed. After only a few weeks, I've already begun to see really positive results' - Reader, NOW MAGAZINE
'I really wanted to see what she had to say and couldn't put it down. There is no sell out on women's self esteem... It is a powerful argument written... Fascinating reading for anyone whose relationship lacks intimacy and trust' CONNECT MAGAZINE
'There are some sections and chapters which are startlingly revealing for anybody in a long-term relationship. Hidden mirrors placed around the pages which catch you out and make you look and see and think differently about how you are behaving and the effect of this on the people you love most in the world... [In our relationship] there is much greater closeness and intimacy once more. There is more tenderness too and vulnerability, which we feel able to reveal to each other again....As Fay Weldon says of the book, ''Forget the rights and wrongs - it works. It's a miracle!'' ' Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, INDEPENDENT
'One of the most insightful and challenging self-help manuals in years ... For a male reader, what's so striking is that Laura Doyle has hit on a profound and simple truism. Many men love to be masculine and women should let us' IQ MAGAZINE
'Riveting reading' SUNDAY INDEPENDENT
