This book trained me how to find my soul mate, my one and only, my love, my everything.
You too will find your soul mate and if you don’t Amazon may refund your purchase price. At least I would if I could.

Dr Warren has great ideas however every chance the author gets, Eharmony is mentioned. Having been on that site before it made me cringe each time it’s mentioned in the book, Im actually suprised that the author didn’t say drink Coke, eat M&M’s, and Dorritos, while listening to your Apple iPod. As soon as I felt I was connecting with something said the plug for Eharmony was right there to distract me. The website pulls enough revenue, can’t you just write a book and not mention the website? My girlfriend tried to read the book and started laughing, when I asked what was so funny, she said the book should of had pop-ups with Eharmony discount coupons in it. We decided to read another book and have been happy for years as a couple.

This book played a major part in ruining my relationship. My boyfriend started reading it and immidiately brokeup with me! I’m not saying that it’s a bad book. He started reading it as if it were supossed to define a “perfect relationship” and as we all know there is no such thing! I will admit that it was not entirely the books fault. We both needed some work, but because of this book it made him think that it was pointless. Thanks alot.

This book might be invaluable to clarify decisions over existing relationships, but I do not think should be used as it claims, as the initial screening process for finding an ideal mate.
I applaud the way in which, without promoting any religious views, the author Neil Warren uses reason and experience to favor a conservative orientation. His advice might be refreshing and pragmatic for many young people, for whom the social norm is that dating and sex are synonymous, and who consequently may be trapped into random relationships. Or, if you are a flighty romantic who plunges headlong into abuse, Warren’s advice could save your life.
Overall, however, I think it is best to make your own mistakes as nature intended. Human relationships should be based first and foremost on human contact, however flawed. Neil Warren’s compatability insights might be an invaluable secondary tool for refining this process. However, I can not agree when Neil Warren argues boldly, in theory and practice, that compatiblity testing comes first, and that innermost feelings always can be added. Reading this book may be helpful so far as it goes, but do not take it so seriously as to join the Eharmony website.
“Meeting” one’s suitors electronically is inherently questionable. A certain vital spark is missing. To confine these contacts to those who undergo a compatibility test and pay a monthly fee is no less questionable. Some people are determined to be married a.s.a.p., or may feel they have no options except internet dating. For them, perhaps Neil Warren sells a leading product. However, by no means does “compatibility matching” bring us closer to “true love,” which is in essence a growth experience including the unknown and unexpected.
Just as Einstein failed his math exams, many successful matches might score below the margins set for a mass-produced compatibility test. If you make your choices first, and then test for compatibility after, you might be more likely to find a relationship that seems meant for you, and to feel this as from an inner voice.
Neil Warren’s perspective, based largely on over-exposure to troubled relationships as a psychotherapist, is flawed. Warren denounces the traditional concept of “soul mates” as a dangerous myth. Within the context of many lives today, this is a point well taken. But Warren eagerly peddles the even more questionable myth of eHarmony “soul mates” flourishing harmoniously under his all-benevolent gaze as a white-haired, Colonel Sanders type character.
The eHarmony website, as well as the title of this book, cynically capitalizes on the idea of “soul mates,” all the while preaching and presuming that such a spirit is always superficial. The greater your natural depth, the less apt might be such advice.

I highly recommend this book for anyone considering a relationship or for someone who is contemplating whether or not the relationship one is in is a good one. The 29 dimensions of compatibility offered in the book are make it or break it factors between two people who are considering marriage. I have read it once, shared it with my significant other, and now both are going to reread it together and use the points as discussion starters to deepen what we have now as a twosome. A MUST READ!!!
