How to Get Your Ex Back Fast: Toy with the Male Psyche and Get Him Back with Skills Only a Dating Coach Knows

This is by far and away one of the best books on how to deal with a breakup where you are certain that you really aren't done, and you want to try again with your ex. Here's why: 1. Gregg Michaelsen (the author) pulls no punches - he's direct, and to the point. If you are easily offended by "bad" words, you may not love this book - but I suggest you get over it because, if you are looking to *understand* what happened and why, and to *understand* what you must do in order to create the opportunity to try again with your ex, this is what you need to read, and to whom you need to listen. (Speaking of listening, I purchased this as an audio book.) 2. This book is *concise*! Michaelsen thankfully has *not* taken the route that many authors do of padding their book to make it longer by adding extraneous filler, or restating something 15 different ways in order to bulk up the book. He gives you what you need to hear, keeping it lean and, again, to the point. The book is 52 pages; the audio book is about an hour and 15 minutes. Because this stuff *isn't that complicated*, but it also is rarely revealed, especially coming *from a guy*! 3. The advice makes *sense*. In fact, once you read or listen to this book, you'll look back and go "Well, duh!" But it's not advice that you'll ever hear from your girl friends, or your family - you know, those people who are dispensing 'wisdom' designed to make you feel better in the moment, but not to actually move forward, let alone get back together with your ex. 4. The advice is backed up by others. I've read/listened to Rori Raye, Matthew Hussey, Marie Forleo, and Cat Volz, all of whom, except for Forleo, give good practical advice which *boils down* to much the same advice that Michaelson gives, but *none* of the others in such a clear, direct, and concise way as does Michaelson - "Here's the situation, here's why, and here's what you need to do." Bam. Basically, I've dived into them all so you don't have to. This is the book you need, and it's the one that will get you up and running the fastest. To paraphrase a line from a most excellent movie, LISTEN TO THIS DUDE GREGG, he knows what he's talking about!

I just finished reading this book. My EX and I have been separated for nine weeks. We were living together and engaged. Things were rocky, but started to get better until my Father passed away April 8th. It sent me spiraling into deep depression and ups and downs. I actually was so upset one night over something so small, I asked my EX to leave. Since then, I have been a mess. My Father is gone and my fiancé as well. Reading this book and then finding the affirmations in it was like a light. I've put my EX through torture the last nine weeks. Today starts the no contact as well as building me up. I am most excited about that! Other books just tell you to get a hobby. Gregg doesn't. He tells you exactly what to do! Finally, some real advice. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is acting crazy after a break up. I fear I may have lost my EX due to my behavior, however that bad behavior stops now. Time to pull myself together with this book and start new. If my EX does come back, that would be great so long as the changes we made before my father passed still remain. (It got really bad). Thank you Gregg, starting tonight, 06/19, you have brought me out of my crazy despair and pity. I will update this review if my EX does come back. To add on, we work together. So we do "pass" each other everyday. I wonder how that will work out. Get it, read it and follow it, if only to build you up from the deep depression and despair. A must read!!!

Men, like cats, always come back around if you leave them alone for a while...! I love how clear and succinct the author is and seems to understand both men and women. He acts as a translator in a way. Great read, effective! And to the point! Personally, I would have liked a slightly more commiserate beginning and a little more fun in the middle and end to match the tone of the advice. However, all in all, very helpful, clear, and encouraging.

My ex boyfriend broke up and ignored me for more than 9 weeks. Here is the reason from him: "I like you a lot but we are going so fast and we have nothing in common also you don't even in to any sports".. He asked to take a break for a few weeks to access our feelings (a few weeks became 9 weeks now) I had no choice but to accept it. I like to analyze things so I did analyze our relationship and found that was worth to give myself a chance to get him back. At the beginning, I didn't know what to do but looked for help and did some research online and I found this book it is so useful. It's easy to follow and my mind is opened after reading this book.... Gregg is a wonderful coach, he replied to my email very quick and gave advice to me what need to be done so that I can get connected back with my ex- boyfriend. I took Gregg's advice and my ex replied to me after my first text... Although, I don't know how it goes yet but I believe by following Gregg's instructions I will find an answer soon... This book is actually benefit me...after reading this book, my self confident levels have increased. I have read a total of three books from Gregg and I will read them again. This is an excellent book everyone should read it... :) Thank you very much Gregg...:)

I probably should have known better, but I expected this to have some reasonable advice even for an old putz like me. Instead, it appeared to be written for people somewhere between the age of 11 and 13. Extremely juvenile, and more than condescending, with a fake, pseudo "cheerleading" way of "speaking" to the reader. A lot of the "advice" centered around being deceitful and using Facebook in a situation where, guess what, folks? Not EVERYbody out there uses such social media! Mostly though, it was just silly and immature. I'm not saying the actual "advice" in itself was all bad, but I should have read up on it more and maybe I would've seen that this particular volume was apparently written for junior high-aged children.

In this book I found helpful information and motivation to go through a difficult phase. Thanks Gregg.

« Getting your ex back » was a real eye opener. That book empowered me and gave me the confidence to change my old unproductive habits. It’s short, it goes to the point, it’s easy to read and very fun, with sound and empowering advice.

Das Buch ist easy zum lesen und enthaelt praktische Hinweise, wie man selbst nach der Break up sich aufbauen kann. Ich empfehle es jeden, dem es wichtig ist, wieder fest auf eigenen Beinen stehen zu duerfen. Der Author bietet Dir auch ein kostenloses Rat, wodurch ist das Produkt sehr personalisiert.

Loved the book. Insightful, easy to execute and empowering. Gets right to the point and lotsa great humour. Highly recommend.

If you want to get your ex back this book is defiantly the way to go! After reading Greggs book I realised in hindsight I had made every mistake going! I had been dating a wonderful guy and was really happy, because things were going so well and he seemed so into me. So much so that I decided to take matters into my own hands, by suggesting that we spent more time together, even informing him of my plans in advance…. just in case he wanted us to do something together you see, so he knew to ask me on a different day! As you can imagine all my “forward planning” slowly started to give our relationship the kiss of death…. I wondered why he never seemed keen to make arrangements with me, and frequently left it till the day before to see if I was free (of course I always was free for him.) In short I had made myself 100% available ALL THE TIME, he became my little hobby of planning when we would next see each other, and yep you guessed it he started to get bored! Slowly putting less and less effort into us… then I wondered why he became distant and uninterested! Eventually I decided enough was enough, and I told him I wanted to end it as I felt like he was “taking me for granted” I was even kind enough to give him four days to think about things, to see if he really wanted us to be over or not?! And yep you guessed it again….after four days of behaving like an emotional wreck, drowning my sorrows with wine just to get through the night he kindly informed me that he thought we should stay split up. I was absolutely devastated, partially because I liked him so much, but mainly because the penny finally dropped that my actions had turned what had the promise of a good relationship into a circus show, with my constant pestering, nagging and obsession about us making plans together. A week after we’d split up I bought Greggs book and started to implement the steps. I started with the no contact rule, which I felt was imperative in order to drag my dignity back from gutter, after an embarrassing episode of me ringing him up to ask if I could come and collect my coat from his place, which actually then turned into me begging to see him and come and spend the night…. To which he responded by telling me that I was welcome to come in and have a cup of tea with him! but that was it!! I gradually began to implement the other steps and after 5 weeks of working on my self-confidence, much of which I owe to this book and Paul Mckenna’s The 3 things that will change your destiny today (the havening technique is brilliant!!) I finally felt strong enough to have another attempt at collecting my jacket….partially because I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it, and partially because it was starting to get rather chilly without it  but more than anything I was hoping that like it says in the book that seeing me again, and collecting my jacket would make things final for him and possibly prompt him to change his mind about us. Soooo I mustered up the courage and text him, as suggested I kept the texts brief and to the point and this time when he invited me in for a cup of tea, I purposely didn’t respond to him, as I wanted to give myself the power to decide when I got there. When I arrived I put my best foot forwards (very upbeat and jovial) again as suggest by Gregg, and made it very clear that I had been getting on with my life, making a few subtle remarks like “yes I was upset initially, but you just have to get on with these things” I decided in the end to have my cup of tea, but made a point of leaving on my terms as soon as I had finished drinking it (and avoiding the temptation to throw myself at him) I judged his body language and he almost seemed a little disappointed when I announced I was leaving. This Monday 4days days after I had seen him, low and behold I got a text from him saying how nice it had been to see me again and did I want “to grab a drink if I was free” I couldn’t believe it…even the exact words Gregg had used in his book to describe when an ex “is testing the waters” were used. I replied politely (many hours after he had text me) and told him I would think about it and let him know! I had an almost immediate response asking me to let him know when I was free! Now if I hadn’t have had Greggs book to hand I would easily have caved and agreed. But the more I read the book and thought about things, although initially excited by the text I realised it was indeed a red herring as Gregg points out. He wasn’t actually saying he missed me…there was no I want you back, or I’m sorry for the things I did, just lets grab a drink. In the end I decided not to reply and hold out for a better offer from him as the book suggests. After a few days though, I became nervous about my decision of not replying and began to question if I should text him back…. I was really starting to wobble, so I emailed Gregg! I cannot tell you how much it meant to me when he replied, and told me I had done exactly the right thing. It put all my doubts to rest, and he explained to me why accepting the invitation at this stage would have undone all my hard work and effort for the past 5weeks. I still haven’t replied as I have come to realise that I deserve more, and if my ex doesn’t want me back enough to put more effort into getting me back then two texts, then he’s not worth it! But the bottom line is ladies that the steps in this book DO WORK if you use them properly, but more importantly the book helps you to see where you went wrong in the first place. I can categorically say with all my heart that I will never make the same mistakes again…as it’s simply not worth sacrificing your self-esteem to chase around after someone. If they want you they’ll do the work, never do it for them!
