Summary: It has helped me
Review: A couple years ago the author of this book (who didn't know me, nor I him) sent me a free copy. I have no idea why...

...but I am thankful now that he did. It sat on my shelf for about two years. But I eventually picked it up with the desire to become more "relationship oriented."

The chapters are nice and short -- they can be ingested in about twenty minutes. That's very convenient for me. He also does a fine job making profound relationship-truths simple to understand.

This books has been a great help to me.

Like a little seed that Steve planted in my life, it is now shooting up and bringing forth good fruit.

Thanks for the book, Steve!

Summary: Illuminating In These Days Of Soap Opera Mirages!
Review: Everyone heard the song, "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover," but quitting is so easy in these days of Soap Opera Mirages. When you watch those programs you wonder why your life cannot be what they image. You start to question the solidarity of your own relationship forgetting that TV is based on ratings not reality.

You start to blame yourself, then your spouse or companion or friend. In the end, you quit, leave and move onto the wilderness of lonesomeness wondering what went wrong?

Yet, the author recognizes the difficulties of overcoming detachment, building trust and maintaining emotional health by endorsing the ones we love. Whether it is family, friends or an intimate love one, listening to the authors thought provoking ideas, suggestions and aid will only enhance your view on relationships.

It is so easy to fall in love but it is so hard to remain in love. Love changes everything, but this book shows you how to maintain your sense of humor while accepting changes that occur within you and others.

No one can preserve the high you experienced while falling in love and just understanding this aspect of your relationship can be a revelation. At the same time, nothing can cure an amputated spirit except the intervention of taking the time of fostering, caring, and supporting a friend, companion or spouse.

You would do so if you found an one eyed orphan kitty or starving abandon puppy. You would clean them, nourish them, and love them. And in return the nature within them would commit to being your best friend for life! Why not with another human being in need?

The author shows you how to begin such a relationship, maintain it and reap the unexpected rewards it brings to your own heart and psyche!

Soon you will understand how to improve the situation you feel is missing some excitement and decipher the benefits of having someone who will champion you by supporting them.

In any event, the author does what he does best, helping those find a few answers in a world filled with millions of questions. If your going to quit anything, quit looking for love on the TV or Motion Picture screen. Just read Steve Chandler's motif on creating a great relationship.

Few will regret the time to do so and you will be rewarded for such actions. As time goes by, your encounters with others will bloom by remembering his, "50 Ways To Create Great Relationships." By helping others you will find contented satisfaction within yourself.

Summary: Treat your relationships like the work of art they can be
Review: Funny, smart, erudite, Steve Chandler affirms that our biggest and most powerful erogenous zone is our brain. Chandler deflates the myth that love just happens---true love, whether of a friend or a spouse or a pet, is cultivated and created, over and over again. Great stuff.

Summary: "Read It With Paper and Pen Handy"
Review: I read "50 ways" and realized that I spent more time imagining and daydreaming how to best use Steven's brilliance, than actually reading it!

So when I finished reading it I went back to start over again but this time, with my trusty clipboard, several sheets of clean white paper and my favorite pen.

I captured ideas that I could put to use that moment, and for years to come.

It's time to do something to strengthen your personal and business relationships whether it's writing a love note to the love of your life, or writing persuasive ad copy that tugs at the heartstrings of your prospects...there will always be a one-to-one connection you have to make. Steven will relax your mind and infuse your thoughts with his gems of knowledge that bursts with creative energy and inciteful answers.

It belongs at work as much as it does at home. I personally recommend this amazing and truely necessary work. It's a treasure you'll hate to lend out, so buy an extra copy. Thank you Steven.

Summary: Steve has done it again
Review: Thank you Steve. You have done it again. In the proudest tradition of getting to the bottom of why things go worng in life, Steve Chandler has come up with a handbook for the rest of us. I have appreciated the level of dedication that he has applied in allowing me to see how my own thought processes, and my own victim thinking have prevented me from solving the problem. Many thanks. I anxiously await your next book.

Summary: More IS more!
Review: This is one great read! This is the longer (read, "bigger and better") version of the author's audiobook "35 Ways to Create Great Relationships." And while it's hard to believe that the book could be any better than the tape, this time bigger really IS better. Like the audio, this is no step-by-step list of specific actions to take to create or improve your relationships. Rather, this author suggests how you might want to adjust yourself-and nobody else--and in so doing create your own attitude that will foster great, fun, happy relationships with others. And who wouldn't want that? As we've seen in his three previous books, Steve Chandler is hip, funny, understanding--and right on the mark. He's knocking on our door, calling us to pay attention to each other, to ourselves, urging us try it, we WILL like it. And have fun doing it.

With observations running the gamut from "intention deficit disorder" to basketball coach Phil Jackson's attitude toward coaching his championship players, Chandler has a great time gently, relentlessly, humorously reminding us that the success of our relationships--how we deal with people--is all about US. It's in our hands. And we can change those relationships any time we want (it's not that hard) if we'll just pay attention to what the heck we're doing!

An excellent read, one that makes you feel good about yourself--even while you're becoming energized to improve!

Summary: 50 ways to create great relationships
Review: Till you read Steves book the title is wrong. You assume it should be about you and your mate. The truth is it should be called the life handbook and given to every one before the get out of grade school. Only after you read it do you figure out that. The first great relationship has to be with yourself. Even though the book is an easy read I don't want to pass my copy around. I want to buy a case of them and give it to all my family, friends, and coworkers. It should be reread every month.
