Being a male, I read this book out of curiosity and I was surprised how good it was. It deals primarily with inner game and attitude and most of it can be applied to both men and women. Therefore, I believe it is actually too narrowly marketed to female readers. There are some passages that deal with "the inner lives" of men and from a male perspective they resonated with me. I can now better understand why previous relationships of mine did not work out. I very much enjoyed that Matthew does not add fuel to the fire of the battle of the sexes, but instead shows that men are in many ways just as vulnerable as women.

What if I told you there was a simple, concise, no-nonsense manual on how to find, attract and keep your ideal man? Sounds too good to be true? Well, such a book exists; it is written by the world’s leading relationship coach and love guru, Matthew Hussey.From the very first word typed in the introduction, the Get the Guy book is launched from the very sobering platform of “love is hard.” A very clear and accurate portrait of love is etched across the canvas of the first page; just reality, a no-nonsense description of love that is devoid of happily ever afters, handsome princes and the one. The message of this book is distinctly outlined in proceeding paragraphs. The book isn’t just about ‘finding a guy’, it’s a manual that empowers women to live the life they were born to live; a life so abundant that out of its overflow it creates opportunities to connect with many individuals from all walks of life. The author takes the time to explain how he came from being a teenager who somehow ended up with whoever would have him and watched others get the girl they wanted; to a successful relationship coach. His knowledge comes from a mixture of personal experience and the years spent coaching men in their love lives. Hussey admits that he himself is far from perfect and does make mistakes usually as a direct result from not following his own advice; as well as invaluable advice this book also contains links to videos that take the concepts to a deeper level. Matthew’s self belief combined with his passion and zeal for life as well as his coaching products is highly contagious and is most likely, the key to his success and his growing popularity.The Get the Guy philosophy divides dating into three stages: Find the Guy, Get the Guy and Keep the Guy. Find the Guy, advises contrary to hollywood rom com’s, fairy tales, Disney movies and other romantic notions that our love lives should not be left to chance or fate. According to the author we have two options; wait or create. You remember the tall, dark and handsome commuter that you locked eyes with on the central line last week; you waited and nothing happened. He got off at the next stop and you have not seen him on the tube since. The alternative option is to create, not too many people feel comfortable approaching a total stranger to create an engaging conversation; if you feel this way you are not alone! The key is simple, learn how to create conversations everywhere you go; Find the Guys leading principle is to talk to everyone who serves you, people around you waiting in line and to take the conversation further and to create daily rituals that involve communicating with more guys. In theory, we are exercising our social muscles and when we do come across someone of interest we are prepared to strike up a conversation. Get the Guy challenges women to raise their standards and to understand that they are a woman of high value and by cultivating certain traits is the initial step to attracting the love that we all deserve. This book divulges the psychology behind the male mind in a way that is positive and beneficial to both genders; with this understanding of the male mind along with a splash of playfulness and a touch of spontaneity accompanied with the right mind-set become the key ingredients to attracting love. Get the Guy aims to put women back in the seat of their lives in a way that leaves a man thinking and feeling like he has done something to earn her affections.The second stage to the dating process takes us deeper in our understanding of long lasting attraction by revealing a simple formula and exposing a few commonly held attraction based beliefs as myths and highlights the many pitfalls of current dating rules including ‘playing hard to get’. According to Matthew Hussey, the key to creating a great date lies in the importance or depth of value that we place on date. You remember the cute guy that you met at your cousins party who asked you out to that dinner date; as you were preparing for the date you told yourself that he was ‘out of your league’ and stressed out about not saying the wrong thing. The date was a disaster, you spent the entire evening focusing on feeling nervous and saying everything right instead of discovering if there was any chemistry or finding a way to establish a connection. The author elegantly reminds his readers that the purpose of a date is for both parties to leave wanting more of each other instead of feeling like you have both endured an exam. Get the Guy is both informative as well as empowering; the author intelligently divulges information about the human psyche in order that both sexes understand each other and are building a relationship that fulfills both of their needs.The third and final stage to the dating process is titled ‘Keep the Guy’; this section reveals the secrets to a long and lasting relationship as well as the importance of showing vulnerability in the process of establishing and maintaining a strong connection. Keep the Guy does not contain a 5 step plan to make him commit but contains a gentle reminder of the importance in always being that amazing woman he plucked up the courage to ask on the first date, because it’s that woman he wants and will commit to. The author reveals what the single life is like for the majority of guys as well as explaining why the concept of commitment can scare a guy and highlights that you can not change a guy but you can change his perception of relationships and commitment. The book takes its readers through the process of establishing whether a potential partner is Mr Right and also reveals how to move on from heart break. Through out the pages of the final chapters of Get the Guy, Matthew Hussey, encourages the readers to remain high value and to maintain their standards but his message is best summed up the final words on the last page.‘Believe in your own value, and every good thing in life will follow’.Get the Guy is not just a 5 step plan to land the guy of your dreams. This resource is a logical but nonetheless empowering treasure trove of information which appeals to women from all walks of life and encourages them to live a life that is worthy of their value, maintain high standards and accept nothing less than a love life that they deserve. This book is a necessary addition for every woman’s book shelf; whether you’re single, in a relationship or married for decades there is something in this book for everyone. Get the Guy will be released in US on April 9, and will be available in major bookstores and is also available to pre-order on amazon.Reviewed by: Amelia H/orange owl media - http://wp.me/p2Rv3M-5Q

When I started reading this book, I immediately was challenged by the thoughts being introduced. However the advice to be a woman of high value and not to settle was compelling. No woman in her right mind wants to settle for less and that is easier said than done.Matthew goes over and beyond. Not only does he tell you want you need from his heart, he then explains the concept with his analogy about the train or other examples and quotes. Although you have to get out there and try... What I find heart-warming is you can feel him prodding you along, hoping the best for you and even there to say what might have gone wrong.I love that he firmly places the ball in your court. This book is a keeper. This will make a believer out of you whether you heart has been broken before or you seem to be stuck in the friend zone. He covers it all with brilliance and those videos are an added bonus. Here's to you find, getting and keeping the guy! See you at the finish line.I plan to invite Mr. Hussey to my wedding because it will be thanks to him.

It's a basic book telling you what you already know, but somehow have forgotten along the way. While the videos were cute (I could directly open them on my Kindle) what made them annoying was that Hussey kept saying, "Like this video. Now buy more man getting secrets!" It just had a scam feel to it, which I didn't like.Basically this book is asking you to be more open, take more chances, and not let men walk all over you. You know this, I know this, but sometimes you need to hear it from someone else as some of the dating advice we hear today is stupid. So it's good to have that reality check and this book does fulfill that role, but again the video links to more promotional products is what takes away from the value of the book. Sure go to a face to face event for fun, but don't feel obligated to buy the extra stuff. This book should do. Is it the best dating book of all time? I don't know, but the advice resonated with me. The pitch to buy extra stuff turned me off.

If you think this is a book for only women, you must be wrong.Whether you want to seek a man or a woman of your life, lessons taught by Matthew are true for almost every one who longs to find the right partner, and build a life of fulfillment with your partner.I won't say much about the content. But the book left me with whole new different points of views on how relationship works, and how we should be prepared, creating options for our relationship life, not just waiting for a lovestruck, first-sight, Hollywood-made-imaginative relationships, because it won't happen that way and even if it happens, you won't be ready to enter the commitments and be ready to keep the longlasting relationship. Matthew throws a lot of lights on how an actual relationship would be, but primarily as a part of your fulfilling and enriching life, and as long as you demonstrate your values and keep living true to them, you could build a love life where your partner is invited to be part of your amazing life as it would be, not like you have to change yourself for others.Because, if you are not happy on your own terms, whoever wants to be a part of your life ?

Practical advice and the whole book in "to this like that" - style. Important question to ask, when you find someone:*Do your core values match? And if they do, are your standards in these values the same?Reminder: Don't invest in his potential instead of person in front of you!

"One day I was looking around on the bookshelf and came across How to win friends and influence people. I remember thinking how tragic my life would have to be that I would need to win friends. But I picked it up anyway and after 10 pages I was hooked" Matthew HusseyI bet a lot of you might think the same thing seeing the title of this book. 17 year-old me would be judging me right now. My story with this book was quite different. I picked it up to hate on it because I was so done with all these books making love look like a game that, if played according to the rules, is won. I started reading this expecting a lot of disrespect towards women but surprisingly enough, there was none. Don't let the synopsis or the cover fool you, this isn't really a bunch of methods you should apply. It's rather a book about loving yourself, loving your body, never giving up on your principles, having a passionate life regardless of your social status, taking action in your life to make it happen for you and most importantly never settling for less than your worth. I was always on the defensive with this book, trying so hard to find something offensive but Matthew knew what he was doing. He knew that's a delicate subject he's discussing and he always knew what to say in the best way possible. I wish I could describe how optimistic, hopeful and empowering this was. I wish I could tell you how much of a better person it made me. After all these years of self-hate, I dare say that Matthew made me fall in love with myself and I will forever be grateful for that. After finishing this book, I said "Wow, it's insane how misleading the cover is" but then thinking about it, I came to the realization that this is a book to FEEL not to describe in few sentences so I found it necessary to come here and share with you Matthew's genius. I hope this book heals you the way it healed me.

Read this book as a result of a request for advice from a single female client - and being out of my depth, thought I would get some different views. I consider Matthew Hussey has provided a good insight into the male mind together with some great suggestions for females wanting to "Get the Guy". Of course, everyone will need to apply their own goals, values and principles in reading this book - then work out what is best for them.

Aunque el titulo del libro/audiolibro da el indicio que es un libro para atraer citas, el autor lleva el tema a un nivel distinto y se enfoca mas en como crear valor en uno mismo. En lo personal, no considero que sea un libro exclusivo para solteras pues pone un panorama realista de como piensan los hombres, que aunque ellos aseguran que son simples, para una a veces no lo son tanto...Trata temas como inseguridades, citas, trabajo, pasatiempos de una manera simple y divertida. Muy recomendable! En audio, el mismo autor Matthew Hussey narra el libro de una manera super carismática y amigable.

I've followed Matthew Hussey's YouTube videos for years and have always wanted to read this book. Because of the fact that I have watched several of his videos, I thought that some of the analogies and points he made were redundant, but that didn't make them any less valid. This book is a great overview of a lot of the core values that Hussey discusses in his work. There are a lot of great tips that I think everyone can learn from. I was surprised at how relevant some of them were to me, even after I've seen Hussey's previous videos. Also, I definitely recommend listening to this on Audiobook. It is a completely different and more positive experience.

This book is suitable for both women and men, and contrary to its name, it is actually a book for better management of our emotional life and relationship. The recommendations of the book are aimed at increasing self-confidence in people, especially in women, in social life and relationships.
