If you've recently broken up with someone, you may be looking for books on relationships.  How do you go about sorting the good from the bad out there?
I'll try to point you in the right direction in choosing a relationship book. You may well be surprised by what you read!

Don't be fooled by fancy letters after the author's name. Chances are they spent more time actually achieving those letters than working on their own relationships. Many highly educated people seek refuge in school, rather than interacting with people around them. They hit 40 with a string of letters after their name but with no real world experience. It's amazing how a few letters can make people believe the author is an authority. Do these authors have any real life experience, or are they merely trying to cash in on their education?

Look for authors that have been there and done it. They've had bad relationships and put them back together, or they've helped countless friends and family patch their broken relationships. These are the authors that know their stuff. They write the books because they have the experience. Not because they have the education and know the theory.

Try to avoid the books that seem to string out the same message of "have a break for a month and live your life" for 50 odd pages. This is the content of a lot of "save your relationship" and "get back with your ex" books. These books are simply padded out to perceive value. They don't deserve your time or your money.

Look for relationship books that can give you something new and unique. Information you don't get from your friends.

Will most books tell you what women crave the most? Will it show you - step by step - how to give this to her? Will it show you how to recover your relationship after an affair? Will it show you actual tips and techniques to ease your pain after a break up?

Last but certainly not least, look at who is endorsing the book. Are the testimonials genuine? Do they look genuine or simply made up by the authors friends and family?

You want relationship books recommended by a wide variety of people, from various walks of life. If you can see testimonials from people from different countries then chances are they are genuinely grateful people.

Of the countless relationship books on the market only a very small handful are worth your money. Most are worthless as they are written by people who know the theory of it, but they haven't seen any action. They give general advice, often stretched out, that can be summed up in a couple of paragraphs.

Finding the best relationship books can be hard work. But the best relationships are hard work, but worth the work. Invest your time and money in the best book you can find.

You can spend as much as you like on books but it's all worth diddly squat if you don't take action on what you learn. No action = no results, it's your call.
