I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up this book. I’m skeptical of relationship books in general. The subtitle, “The 21 Smartest Moves Women Make For Love� kind of scared me into thinking that this book might be an updated version of “The Rules� in disguise. Thankfully, it isn’t. I was also relieved to discover this is NOT a book about how to meet men. Instead, Dating Rocks combines psychology, self-help, and practical advice, all in one entertaining and enlightening book. Dating Rocks is not simply a book about dating. The book gives realistic suggestions for making better decisions, improving self-esteem, and staying true to your heart. I wish I had read this book years ago.
Each chapter of Dating Rocks features stories, quotes, advice, and more. The author, Steve Nakamoto, encourages women to take responsibility for their past mistakes and take the future into their own hands. Dating Rocks teaches women to be more productive and proactive in the choices they make. Making smarter decisions will yield positive results.
I think this book should be required reading material for every person, male or female, whether single or married. Dating Rocks was written by a man, which is a nice change of pace. So many women get their advice and opinions about relationships ONLY from other women, which means they lack the insight that could be gained from an honest and unbiased male perspective.
