But I was wrong.
Here's a book that rightfully (surprisingly based on the book title...but remember not to judge a book by its cover!) teaches enlightened women to take care of themselves, enjoy their relationships, and live the life they've imagined whether it's with a man or not. It's about feminine empowerment and there's nothing that is more feminist than that.
As a guy I realize that this book has a certain "girlfriend-to-girlfriend" tone and humor to it. But after all nearly 80% of all self-help books are purchased by women. This book is one that almost all women I'm sure will enjoy and find funny at times.
The core of this book is the concept of the "Dream Girl." Lisa Daily has made a major contribution in helping to redefine what a "Dream Girl" is not only for women, but for men as well. I guess she would say that it's about being a "kick-... chick" who's got it together and makes her life really happen in a lot of ways. And as a guy, I think she's right. More traditional guys like myself really want someone we respect, admire, adore, cherish, and value who is smart, sexy, funny, feminine, and in many ways, fearless.
I think women readers will find this book very inspirational in a modern "Sex and the City" kind of way. With the pointers in this book a women can have a fantastic job, spend a day each week helping out at a soup kitchen, have a sparkling clean apartment, have the right shoes for any occasion, and also attract the man of her dreams.
I'm happy to see that Lisa is teaching women to appreciate the "good guys" who do the traditional respectful things for those he loves and cherishes. We see eye-to-eye on most everything (although we say it in totally different voices and ways) and nowhere are we more aligned than the concept of intelligently separating the men from the boys.
For women in search of a great life as well as to attract a great guy as a husband for lifetime passion and intimacy, here's a truly enjoyable book that stands out in our relationship/self-help field. I give this book my highest rating with a big smile.
