A little blue dynamo
I've never been one for tackling my issues, I'm more of a 'let's just see how it turns out' kind of girl. Until now! A friend of mine, obviously sensing my tendencies towards relationship procrastination, thrust this wonderous blue book into my hand and promised me I would love it. Well she was right (so right that I've been compelled to post my first ever review). I've never not read a book cover to cover before, so reading sections of this was strange at first, but dipping in when I need to is like going back to an old friend. Great stories, easy to understand, a fab online community and for someone who tends to stuff things in the back of her head to deal with 'later', it's pretty good at spurring you into action. All in all, I'd say my friend did me a favour!!

I love it - best of the mind gym books
Just after I read this book (or the majority of it, you don't have to read it all to get the benefits!) one of my best friends finally admitted she wasn't happy in her relationship with her boyfriend of 2 years (they were always falling out). I went straight to the book. We worked through the Graceful Exit chapter together, and it helped her made the decision to leave him. It sounds like a sad story, but using all the tips from this book the break up was very smooth, unpleasant yes, but they both got a lot from it and are starting to come out the other side as stronger people - even in a matter of weeks!

This isn't the only useful chapter, it has really helped me take control of some tricky relationships I had at work and spot when I'm getting into psychological games. Thanks Mind Gym for a brilliant book - I need to buy it for a few more people I know!

Another must-have book from the mind gym
Having been an avid reader of the first 2 The Mind Gym books, the new book on relationships certainly doesn't disappoint. The book is practical and engaging and offers a great insight into relationships across the board. It has already helped me to understand and improve one very special relationship. I thoroughly recommend this book to everyone
