 Wisdom From Experience Apr 30, 2009
By Ann Williams
"an observer"
The best advice comes from those who have "been there."
In this book, Mr. Leust chooses to accept a devastating experience as an opportunity for self improvement and growth. He takes a perceptive and vulnerable look at the changes he needs to make. He then embarks on a journey to find companionship, friendship and love.
His insights are often surprising, frequently humorous, but never dull.
I recommend this book to anyone who finds themself suddenly single and willing to risk personal comfort in order to rediscover personal fulfillment and love.

HIGHLY Recommended May 01, 2009
By Todd Larsen
Wow! Wow! Do not hesitate getting this book, in fact I'm going to read it a 2nd time. Good thing I had a couple highlighters there are so many important points to consider. The author has remarkable insight about how to navigate the world of dating.
I've learned to be comfortable in my being single, and to appreciate the qualities that I have to offer a life partner. Today I am in a much more content place, and am no longer frustrated by the dating process, rather I now better understand not only what I have to offer, but better appreciate the needs and wants of the person sitting across the dinner table from me.
Part 1 was incredibly useful, in helping guide me through a process of clearly articulating not only what I was looking for in a partner, but more importantly what I had to offer another person. I had been all about finding a great person, and hadn't really considered what i was all about, and why someone would be interested in me!
I recommend this book to anyone interested in a healthy relationship, whether you are single or just wondering what single life is all about - READ IT

 Good, solid advice Jun 20, 2008
By real estate guru
This seems to be a heartfelt work of someone that went through a lot to figure out how to find someone later in life. It was remarkably practical in the way it was written, which helped me approach all the different avenues out there (online, professional lunch setups, dating friends of friends, etc) to start dating again late in life. In fact, I found it useful enough that I recommended it to my sister, who had lost her husband in her early 40s. It is written from a guy's perspective, but was very helpful for her as well because she saw into the mind of a man over 40 who is seriously looking to find the right person.

Funny, sad, true ! May 03, 2009
By Eric KeoskySmith
While there is a lot of wisdom in this book for us (slightly) older types new to the dating scene, I was actually surprised at how portions of it were sooooo funny and spot-on with the descriptions (ok albeit from the male perspective) of the types of women we'll meet out there. I re-read some of those key chapters a few months after dating, with tears of laughter rolling down my cheeks, and wanted to check off each one plus add a few of my own!
That said, there was nothing mean-spirited at all about the book. A breezy read based on difficult, real world circumstances, that also left me thinking how *I* must look to others in this scary new world of dating after the end of another committed relationship, and perhaps how I need to lighten up and improve upon what I'm expecting to not just get, but to give, in a new relationship. Can't ask for more than that! Thanks for the help!

From the heart, practical, and a guide to getting past a confusing and awkward time in life. Nov 15, 2008
By George Vukotich
Keith puts his heart into this work. This is not just a book, but a guide to helping individuals get past an awkward and confusing time of life. Many books in this area are written at a superficial level and in the end lead to more confusion than help. Keith's "passage" is something we can all appreciate and learn from. Self understanding and understanding what is really important in a relationship is key to finding the right person (life partner)and having a relationship that is truely meaningful. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to better understand a current relationship or find a new fullfilling one.
