J.M. Kearns, writer |
Why Mr. Right Can’t Find You, published in 2008, has been embraced by reviewers and the public on both sides of the Atlantic and featured on television, radio, and the press, including Oprah & Friends, Glamour, Maclean's, Complete Woman, OK!, and many others. A reinvention of the relationship book, it was called by Maclean’s contributing editor Julia McKinnell "the best self-help book I’ve ever read". It treats the finding of a lifetime partner as a rational challenge to be tackled with your full brain power. Straddling the line between witty essay and self-help, it sets you free from the hoary myth of destiny, explains what compatibility really is in a hilarious, eye-opening section, and reveals the ways men and women really perceive each other. If you haven’t found the right person, Kearns says, it isn’t because there’s something wrong with you. A worthy man is out there looking for you right now: and he is your greatest ally. "The world is full of lonely winners," he says, and his book explains how your own good efforts can lead you to the one who is right for you.

Many of us feel as if we are stuck in an endless loop of a botched romantic comedy: the past relationship that went wrong seems to spell trouble for the future, even if we find the right person. In Better Love Next Time, J.M. Kearns offers help with the pain of a breakup, and more than that, he explains how to understand and heal the damage it has done to you. He shows you a simple (and entertaining) way to diagnose what went wrong, so history won’t have to repeat itself; and then reveals how to uncover the “manual for happiness” that your own heart has written in your past, and apply it to your future. Laced with colorful vignettes and as compassionate as it is honest, Better Love Next Time ensures that when you do find the right partner, you will arrive whole, renewed and ready for a good relationship -- and able to avoid the old mistakes.

The book that continues on where Why Mr. Right Can't Find You leaves off... In Shopping for Mr. Right, J.M. Kearns does exactly that, carrying the principles of the earlier book into new territory. Using the unifying metaphor of shopping -- and its literal truth, when it comes to online dating! -- he opens up a host of new topics and gives the kind of practical, hilariously honest answers that readers have come to expect from him. Kearns explains: - how to shop for a relationship instead of a dazzling specimen - the surprising ways men open up about their feelings - why size does matter with the male ego - how to take the initiative in real-world encounters with guys - the two searches that reveal if a dating site is right for you - how to test the new love that you've found - why men sometimes disappear when things are going so well - whether you should bet on a guy's potential - whether falling in love proves you're with the right partner - the number one secret of lasting couples For a video introduction to the book, see below. |
"Irresistible. The type of post-modern LadLit that is seldom celebrated as sharply as it should be...He’s the real deal." — Linda Richards, January Magazine ex-Cottagers in Love J.M.
