Product Description:
Using real-life stories taken from her experience as a teacher and counselor, Rabin offers practical advice that will help readers build confidence and self-assurance in any social situation--and deal effectively with rejection.
Amazon.com Review:
Buried deep inside each of us, a fun, flirtatious person is anxious to get out. No longer do you have to be the wallflower at the party, watching others mixing and mingling and meeting that absolutely fabulous person in the corner. In How to Attract Anyone, Anytime, Anyplace, Susan Rabin, a therapist who was a coordinator for Family Living/Sex Education for the New York City Board of Education, elucidates the principles of flirting--from body language to conversation tips to where to meet other singles--and helps to get you on your way to getting out there!
This book is a playful read, although it's not as in-depth as some of the other romance self-help books (such as Leil Lowndes's How to Make Anyone Fall in Love with You, which, while covering much of the same material, has a scientific basis at its core and tends to take itself a bit more seriously). Rabin concisely gives you the tools to gain the self-confidence necessary to meet Mr. or Ms. Right. The advice won't help you once you get to that very first date, but the detailed explanation of the beginning steps will help you find the person to ask out. And if for reasons unknown, that person turns you down, Rabin also advises on how to deal with 'no.'
Although a quiz in the beginning is supposed to enable you to determine what type of flirt you are (for example, a self-centered flirt, the analytical flirt, or the pressured flirt), Rabin doesn't spend much time exploring what this means for individuals or how to overcome specific flaws. Instead, How to Attract Anyone, Anytime, Anyplace deals more with generalities: each chapter gives a heart-shaped bulleted list of tips under categories such as 'How to Make Your Own Luck' and 'Tips from a Master Flirt.' The one chapter that does venture into the territory of psychology--'Don't Be Your Own Worst Enemy'--is a bit cursory and unsatisfying. Overall, though, this guide is ideal for the beginner who honestly feels that there's nowhere to go to meet new people and feels utterly hopeless when faced with a stranger. Before you know it, Rabin will help you feel like a flirt extraordinaire! --Jenny Brown

I should youtube Susan Rabin very first to see if her writing is any indication of her personality. Her writing is all over the place and she appears through her writing to be extremely hyper with thoughts coming and going in every direction with no rhyme or reason to them. I had to go over several parts a few times to try and understand if the example scenario was a sucess or not a success. At times, I didn't have a clue as to what the point was. The only one I can remember takes place early in the book: It's the scene where she ran into someone in the airport and she glances at her watch and leaves the person she was talking to. I had to read it a few times...was that a successful encounter or not?? I had no clue. What LITTLE useful information that is in the book could have been put into a pamphlet of 5 one sided pages. Her writing is awful. The book is a mess.

I learned a lot about myself through the book. I think if you are looking for a book to lead you in the path too intermingle with someone, this is a great book for you.
It shows you the boundaries that are common for everyone.

I found the tips on engaging conversation to be very helpful. I've always had difficulty in initiating light hearted flirtation, and this book really helped me find ways to connect.

I gave this book to my son for a birthday present since his social skills regarding flirting were a little dull.
It has helped him in many ways. I recommend the book as well as attending workshops Susan holds which can be seen on her website.
