Ratings and reviews

I really agree this book, even I who love too much to my friends, relatives, loved one especially my parents. I care for them much because I know that when I was young they took good care of me, though they are in pain, tired and hungry but then they do not surrender in caring me. The mind of men is very different from the women because I really observe it in our siblings. Women always thinking how much they loved people that very close to them and beside them. Women also is very sensitive in their emotions on how much they care and love themselves and to the others.

I loved this book but I think it should be anyone who loves to much because I may have passed this trate onto my own children who are now 25,23 and 21. I apologize Jasper, Taylor and Sebastian I love you boys. Mom, Sam

Explains why women choose the men they do. What your symptoms might be and HOW to fix your sickness. This is a wonderful book! I highly recommend this to all the ladies out there!!!
