Summary: A Working Plan
Review: The book works. It proviedes the reader with a working plan to develop an intimate relationship with a significant other. I used the plan on some unworthy "test" subjects and found them hard to get rid of. When it came time for me to use it on the man I deemed man of my dreams... it worked! I am now happily married to a great guy. Even though, this is my second marriage and I came with a bunch of kids... he loved me and wanted to have a lifelong committment with me.

Summary: Insightful But A Bit Gradiose In Its Claims
Review: There are many important concepts about the difference in communication styles between men & women. But some of the "trying to read his mind" segments were a bit silly and unbelievable. I love her idea about making a list describing the ideal man & then keeping yourself on track by only dating men who resemble your ideal, so that you don't waste time with incompatible losers.

Summary: A lot of truth here.
Review: There's a lot of truth here. Tracy is talking about something that most of us don't think about.Ever notice that when you are very mutually attracted to another person, your movements seem to be in sync, rapport just seems to "flow"? Ever also notice that you can meet a very nice, wonderful person, but nervous or jerky mannerisms on their part can kill the attraction? They aren't "syncing" with you. After practicing her techniques, I found myself *becoming* more attracted to the other party. Dr. Tracy's principles have helped me recognize my own nervous mannerisms, and also the other's. Her principles of "anchoring" offer a great way to calm down a nervous person so you can really get to know them. And the "love spell" in this case works on YOU.

Summary: Applied Neuro-Linguistic Programming
Review: This book gives an overview of the different styles of communication used by various people and how communucation can be made easier and more effective once those differences are identified. The claims made in the book are a bit overstated, but the premises are accurate.

Summary: Keeps Overstating Her Premise
Review: This book is a manual in applied nero-linguistic programming. The idea is that all people tend to express themselves in language that represents the way they see the world, primarily in feeling, hearing, or visual terms. To this end, the book may be quite useful, not merely in sexual situations or those involving a close relationship between two people, but in many sorts of social interaction (for example, the pioneers of NLP originally designed it to aid in teaching music to their pupils). The books contains a wealth of excellent information about the communication styles of people and how one can alter one's own communication style so as to make better impressions and to get across better. particularly useful was the information on "mirroring", i.e., adopting the bodily postures of other people so as to give them the unconsciously perceived notion that one is either affected by them or is sympatico with regards to them. The claims that the author makes, however, are ludicrous. People are complicated beings and they cannot be reudced down to such simplistic terms. One example she give is quite telling: she has a lady say that she loves a man, using an improper communication style. He quickly dumps her because he takes offence at her words. Please! Unless a man is an absolute moron (sure, most of us guys might be idiots, but then why would you want one of those to fall in love with you?), he would have to be intelligent enough to understand what his lady was trying to say. One cannot "make" someone else fall in love with you, and the techniques are by no means guaranteed like Cabot seems to think. Human beings are not automatons. Still, it could be a very valuable guidebook for politicians and others who need to be able to influence other people tactufully without them realising what is happening. Another manual in manipulating others is the "Satanic Witch" by Anton LaVey; it takes a rather opposite approach, but could be even more effective under suitable circumstances. Still, the book does open the door to dimensions of communication that are largely ignored in our society, but which still have an affect on our behaviour.

Summary: A good novices book in applied nlp for romance creation
Review: This book, though written for a female audience can be used by sexes with simular success.However one needs to understand that Ms. Cabots book was written and published for a wide distribution and like most self help books it overlooks many areas of human behavioral complexity that one will encounter in any attempts to persuade or influence. This book will serve as a good introduction to nlp and romance creation. The most important point(in this book) that one can learn is that romance, love, lust happens through a process that one can learn and repeat over and over (if one so desires). If one uses techniques of this book they will certainly empower their chances of creating a romantic relationship,but it will on a hit and miss basis because more knowledge and training will be needed (as already mentioned). Another good beginners book is Intant Rapport by Michael Brooks. It deals with the same subject in more detail. For those desiring even more training in applied nlp they could look up essential-skills on their search engine. I beleive Ms Cabot also teaches seminars in those areas. I know these techniques work as I have used them with success. Happy hunting Art

Summary: This book is a joke!
Review: This has got to be one of the silliest books on man-catching out there. The fact that it has endured for 15 years means a new generation of women are being duped by the flim-flam-flummery of neuro-linguistic programming, offered by self-proclaimed relationship expert Tracy Cabot. Use these "mirroring" techniques on a man and you'll have him running for the hills, not falling deeply in love with you. Most women have heard a man say to her, "Gee, you're a terrific conversationalist," when all she really is doing is listening to him. Until something better comes along, girls, you're better off taking that time-honored advice, which your mother kept telling you anyway. But whatever you do, please don't waste your money on this book.

Review: this techniques outlined in this book are an excellent way to find a good man and still be yourself! you learn how to talk to a guy in a way he can understand and relate to, then you can talk to him about anything! in "The Rules" they basically say you can't talk to him at all, and that's wrong. if you follow the techniques in this book you are on your way to finding someone who you can be yourself with and have a good relationship.

Summary: This book has changed my way of thinking and my life
Review: Tracy Cabot captured my feelings and those of 100's of women when she taught us how to basically catch and keep a man. I have just recently married and I must say that I took her advice of leaving a dead end relationship and now meeting the man of my dreams. She has honestly showed me the way to happiness in a giving and satisfying relationship. I never new I wanted what I have now until I read her book! A must read

I RECOMMEND THAT YOU KEEP IT HANDY, IT IS SO EASY TO TAKE YOUR RELATIONSHIP FOR GRANTED ONCE YOU KNOW THAT A MAN IS YOURS. IF YOU KEEP PRACTICING THE TECHNIQUES I BELIEVE THAT YOUR MAN WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER.
