This book contains approaches Divorce Recovery from a man's point of view -- and from a woman's point of view -- separately. There are literally two sides to the book: [For Men] and [For Women]

For Men: Rarely has anything been written by a man for men facing the throes of separation and divorce. Men, have to deal with divorce survival issues dealing with women, kids, money, power, control, work, sex, lawyers, recovery and emotions like fear, guilt, pain, anger, loneliness, depression - the list can go on and on. This side of the book speaks about these and other experiences and feelings of divorcing men, through the voices of many men.

The male reader will discover he is not alone in his painful and fearful trauma of divorce. He will discover how to chart his own way by learning from other men who understand - men willing to speak up. He will learn how to spring back from divorce as a better rather than as a bitter man For Women: [Mostly for Women] tells women's side of the divorce story, the expressions and experiences, the pain, the indecision and the tenacity it takes to get through the bad times... for good.

This book can give you insight, practical skills and strategies to help you understand how to make it through this ordeal - to land on your feet as an emotionally, mentally and spiritually safer, stronger and more confident woman.

The Divorce Cycle™ is a model that can immediately show you where you have been, where you are and where you can go in this divorce experience. By the time you finish reading through each of the six predictable and sequential stages, you will easily be able to identify which stage you are currently in and then be able to work your way through the rest of The Divorce Change Cycle™.

5 out of 5 stars Divorce: 6 ways to get through the bad times for good   February 14, 2001

Wow! This is the most helpful and practical book on Divorce I've read. And God knows I've read as many Divorce books as diets I've been on. This is an easy read and yet it goes deep. I cried through the first half and smiled the rest of the way. This is first one I've seen that doesn't bash either the male or female gender. It creates a welcome approach to understanding--and it's about time.

This is a must read for people who are serious about putting a smile back on their faces and boltstering their self-esteem in healthy ways.

I'm passing this book on to 2 of my friends going through divorce, one male and one female.

I read very few books--unless they're about golf or business. But this one grabed me. It makes sense and gets to the point quickly. As a divorcing man I thought many of my thoughts and feelings were unique to me. Some of my behavior has been destructive. I've never met the authors but they must know me somehow because my experience and feelings are in every chapter. It's been a big load off my mind to know I'm not alone in how I've been reacting to messy divorce. But now I'm learning how I can do much better. It's like my friend threw me a life raft when he told me to take a look at this book. This is the best help I've received since the bad times of my divorce began almost 9 months ago.

I expected this would be a good book when I first picked it up, but it turned out to be way better than I expected. It's written with the savvy and competence which you expect from such professionals, but without the hard edge. It's got lots of real heart. Where they go beyond is in creating for me the clear sense of their compassionate understanding as well as in offering concrete ways for constructive and healthy resolution. It's really very positive. I also very much appreciated the design of the book, which made it very accessible and easy to read and use. Totally first class in every way.
