I just haven't met you yet Finding empowerment in dating, love and life

Tracy Strauss

Book - 2019

Tracy Strauss helps readers empower themselves by taking a challenging look at the ways the negative events of their lives, including sexual harassment and abuse, have shaped their self-perception and created obstacles to personal success, and how readers can change that troubled self-image along with their (love) lives. I Just Haven't Met You Yet is a modern-day journey of the heart. It is a story about taking big risks, changing old habits and beliefs about dating, and speaking back to the naysayers, especially that internal critic, the inner love saboteur. It is a prime mover and the only epistolary memoir cum dating/relationship essay book of its kind.--

Review by Library Journal Review

Huffington Post relationship writer Strauss draws on her personal experience and those of others to show how one can break free of destructive relationship patterns and troubled self-images to find love. In a work that reads like a memoir, the author details her many adventures in dating and lessons learned along the way, beginning each chapter with a letter to her future life partner, then exploring a specific issue inherent in meeting that individual-personal dysfunction, necessary losses, and womanhood itself. VERDICT A compelling read that will undoubtedly be of comfort and assistance to anyone in the dating world. Recommended for all those interested in finding a new relationship. © Copyright 2019.
