The book’s title doesn’t match the Marie Forleo for whom I’m accustomed. And I’m certain there are aspects of the book she wouldn’t relay to her audience now and advice she would provide in a different tone. As a well-established, deeply-rooted, emotionally-healthy woman, the topic heading “Keys to Making Every Man (and Everyone Else) Want You” still makes me cringe. Informing women of what men want doesn’t seem like her current brand’s message, but I spent awhile yearning to read this book. I discovered Marie roughly two years ago, and the phenomenal, kickass entrepreneur and coach I know gears her words towards creating a healthy, well-loved life, regardless of whether a significant other is present. Despite the book’s underlying thesis, I pressed on and I am relieved I did! The most favorable aspect of this book is although the title says one thing, I can hear present-day Marie’s voice in each word. She still provides the reader with a real deal necessity—a manifesto (no pun intended) on being the best individual for one’s self. There are too many jewels to leave in a review, but Marie did blow my mind with this, “Anthropologists simply note what is. They look and observe without adding commentary or judgment. This means [be] investigative, observant, and nonjudgmental. Pretend you’re an anthropologist studying a culture of one—you.” I still marinate on those words. Read with a highlighter, pen, and notecards.

Cute and applicable guide to putting your best foot forward in all relationships.

I must say, after reading this book, all men want me and it's too time consuming to date them all...

Though the title is a bit intense, it’s actually just a very straightforward self-help book about taking care of yourself as a woman. I appreciated Marie’s candor and encouraging advice. If you are into self-care and the law of attraction, this is something you’ll like. If you’re not, you may still like it as the LOA is not too in your face.

I picked up Make Every Man Want You because I started watching Marie TV, and I really like Forleo’s engery. The book was a disappointment though. I don’t think there was a nuanced idea in it. She just advises women to be their best selves and live in the moment. All the advice about taking care of yourself and not being a desperate nag seemed pretty basic to me. Or maybe I’m just not the audience. The book also didn’t seem to have her energy on the page the way it comes across on the screen. I also wonder about the McGraw Hill contract. It just doesn’t seem like the type of book they’d want to sell. Oh well, at least she can now say she’s an author and entrepreneur.

Great advice. More about cleaning up negative beliefs that sabotage relationships (not just romantic ones) and just generally improving your outlook and motivations with people. Nice, quick read.

The author spent more time praising the reader for taking the time to purchase the book than to offer any real advice. The best part of this book is the title.

I admit that I rolled my eyes a bit the first time my friend gave this to read. Me, a self-help book? After the first few pages, however, I was hooked. What I love about this book is that it's not about only attaining the right partner, or how that should be your goal, and this book will help you get there. This book very nicely lays out ideas and pathways for seeing yourself as whole and complete as is, and accepting other people as they are. It's ultimately about how to find more satisfaction and lasting happiness with yourself. I very much enjoyed this, I think it is a useful and fascinating read, and I enjoyed it so much that I will be purchasing my own copy after returning my friend's to her!

I'm not sure what I think of this book: is it another "blame-the-victim you are responsible for your own reality" new agey thing? Is it sensible advice about being present and daring to be vulnerable? I don't know. While I think some of the advice in here is good, it is hard to get past the hetero-normative, probably cis/white centric world of this book and the way it glosses over very real situations and issues that could use more than a "just don't do that" approach. Overall, I think the bad outweighed the good for me and the things that were good about the book, I could find elsewhere.
