Holy shit. Please ignore the extremely cheesy book title!! This one was recommended to me by a friend after my breakup and I thought I was reading the book but the book was reading me!! Lots of wisdom and insight on the law of attraction and becoming the love you want to receive. I’m about to recommend to all my single friends truly amazing read!

What this is: A seven week self-guided course that requires doing about 30-60 minutes a day of reading and writing and exercises every morning.
Who should do it: people who've done years of trauma therapy already but are struggling to find either a (good) partner or friends (this doesn't need to be romantic), or people without a real trauma/abusive relationship history.
I just completed this course over the suggested seven weeks. Overall, this is a wonderful course, and I really had fun with it. I didn't allow myself to look ahead, and doing a different thing first thing in the morning each day felt like a therapy advent calendar! I also think it genuinely did change my life. I did it more for friends than a romantic partner, and the material is really applicable for both, so I did it for both. Despite that it says it takes 20-30 minutes a day, the shortest day was 20min and several were over an hour.
There are two main things, though, that I think you should know before reading/doing this:
1) This book isn't accurately advertised. For those of you who have done prior trauma therapy reading, this is effectively a Stage 3 (by Herman) trauma therapy book. If you have a history of abusive relationships or had abusive parents and you read this book before doing any therapy, it might actually hurt you more than help. Stage 1 is when you start going to therapy, leave abusive relationships, learn how to cope in healthy ways with your trauma, and stay safe. Stage 2 is where you delve deeply into your past experiences of trauma. Stage 3 is the final stage where you learn how to be in healthy conflict with others and reintegrate into community. If you had abusive parents or have had a string of abusive relationships and have never gone to therapy, I'd recommend a book like "Toxic Parents" instead, not this one. If you have done that work previously, though, then this book will basically tell you what you need to do and learn now, which is really helpful!
2) The basic premise of this book is that if you have been single (or friendless) for a long time, then on some level you actually don't really want a partner/friends The book then helps you explore all the things holding you back from actually wanting/going after what you think you want. It is, however, difficult to say "accept responsibility for all your problems" to someone without victim blaming them, and I do think there are moments here where the author does some victim blame-y stuff, and you need to be ready to just brush off some of her words. In other instances too, sometimes you need to translate what she says a bit, including her mentions of "God" if you're an atheist.
So if you either don't have much history of trauma and abuse, or you have done lots of work on your history of trauma and abuse, then I recommend this book. It's really helpful for improving your capacity to be loving and happy while still maintaining boundaries.

This book came into my life when I needed it. I expected it to be directly about dating which I’m not a big fan of but I was open minded because the book was recommended to me by a friend. But it was so much more than that. It’s more of a program that walks you through the journey of self love. It was profound and helpful in so many ways. I feel deep gratitude for this book.
Anyone who is looking to work through their past and rewrite their internal narrative to see themselves in a more loving way should absolutely read this.

I gave this book a solid try. For days & days I tried to fight off this feeling that I fundamentally disagreed with most of the author’s orientations toward dating but ultimately, after I got about halfway through, I realized I simply didn’t agree with many of the practices she enlisted in the book. My two biggest qualms are: the author makes it clear in the beginning that this book is for everyone (all gender identities and sexual orientations) but it’s not. It’s written for straight women. Which is fine, I just would have appreciated a more forthcoming stance on that. Second, many of her practices involve adopting a posture of waiting and making room for our partners- this may brief well, but the more she dives into this, the more I realized she is not in the business of creating spaces where the reader can enjoy being single. She really lost me when she instructed the reader to make the space we live in less feminine in an effort to “be ready” for the man we call in. Something about that didn’t sit right with me; call me a feminist but I’m not interested in altering my space to make an imaginary man more comfortable.
I WOULD recommend this book for those who haven’t yet undergone self-reflection, personal therapy, etc. She does offer some thought provoking questions we can ask ourselves about patterns in our life. However, I have been in therapy for some time (a privilege, truly) and am also a therapist myself. This being said, her ideas of self-reflection felt far from ground breaking. I’d much rather learn how to soak up every rich moment of singleness rather than cater my space and existence to imaginary partners.
In hindsight, this book is not written for folks like me and that’s ok, I just shouldn’t have read it (or spent money on it really).

I tried the original of this book on Kindle and never made it through. I recommend having a physical copy of this one and reading the revised version.
This book is definitely woo-woo. I would say a full third to half of this book is examining *your* role in your problematic relationships and who *you* need to forgive and who *you* are blaming even in toxic and unhealthy relationships. I’m all for examining yourself and seeing how empowering it can be to walk away from a position that’s no longer serving you and examining the ways it was. But it was approaching victim blaming for me. I just think some people you date are toxic and you didn’t manifest being there. That just is what it is.
That being said, there was a lot I did like in this book and parts of it lined up with what I was working on in therapy, which is cool. I did clean out a drawer. I bought two placemats. My biggest takeaway is trying to act from my power center, not from being triggered. It’s easy for me to just say fuck this and remove myself from dating situations. That’s not what a confident, powerful person would do.
Still single though! 😂 I’d recommend if it sounds of interest to you. It was nice having something to do (I’m a workbook girl - Venus in Virgo) when I didn’t have dates lined up. At least I was thinking about what I wanted and dating.

Each day is a new chapter with an exercise to read. The first chapter made me grin when I did the exercise. 2nd chapter made my heart region hurt which gave me a lot to think about. 3rd chapter was speaking out on one of my boundaries to someone in my life. Yikes, not pleasant at the time but rather powerful. On to chapter 4. So far this book has been hitting it out of the park.
June 21, 2022
Don’t let the title fool you, it’s great. I give it four stars for the low-key affiliation with “The Secret”/higher- power doctrine that I found unnecessary simply because the concepts and exercises are useful no matter what your relationship with a god/higher power to be. I used the exercises and in the book to really get to the root of my relationship issues, and it set me up for success to find my current boyfriend (hopefully life partner!) I recommend this to all my single friends who, like me, struggle with repeated bad patterns and frustration in the dating world. You best be ready to find your mans or womans or partner when you are done with this book cuz they are a’comin! 🏃♂️

A cheesy and unfortunate title for a really good book w good tools!
February 26, 2025
I didn't follow the books directions, which isn't a huge surprise knowing me, but I love the premise of the book. If you've been struggling to find a romantic partner or make friends for quite some time this is a good one. I feel like this book is kind of a last ditch effort- like when you've put in the work in therapy, been on dates, putting in an effort to make/keep friends, then this book pretty much calls you out on your bullshit and asks the hard questions and forces you to think about what you really want.

A good friend recommended this, and despite the hokey title, it actually offered a lot of practical wisdom and advice on how to improve self-love, self-esteem, and self-concept which I found to be surprising (since this is centered mostly around ushering in romantic love) but valuable. I’ve been on a bit of a personal growth journey lately and it never hurts to open your mind to new ways you can invite love (of all kinds) into your life.
And at its core, that’s what this book does: it helps you think of fresh ways to do that. It gets you to shift perspective, try different approaches, be more open to possibility, and self-reflect. And I am always a proponent of that!

This book started off with some great prompts that really had me thinking about my past approaches to relationships and then dived into a week straight of insisting my caregivers were the problem and the prompts were JUST about childhood/caregivers. Actually, I know where a lot of my trauma and issues surrounding relationships stemmed from and it was being sexually assaulted at 22. It was literally exhausting analyzing my barely there daddy and mommy issues and I actually threw this book in the garbage. I’m sure it’s helpful for some people but not me.

After starting this book nearly two years ago and then stopping half way through, I can finally say I finished!
Wonderful read—this book is magic and I will miss the structure it provides to my journey of welcoming more love into my life. Reading with a book club helped me stay on course. There is so much to unpack in this book that I could easily re-read it a few more times. Like one of my fellow book club participants said, “this book is like scripture.”
More than a self-help book, provides concrete ways to help you reframe what you’ve been told and believed about love and “the one”, but in a way that also empowers you.
Highly recommend to all who are in a journey of finding their “one.”

I can’t say enough good things about this book!!! It is more of a workbook than just a sit and read type book. Katherine Thomas guided me through what it takes to love myself and other people with an open and honest heart through 49 days of lessons and almost as many journal entries/meditations/practices. The way she said things just made so much sense and helped me really understand the principles she was teaching. I felt so connected to her, almost like she was there with me through each lesson. This book came into my life at a time that I really needed it and I have seen a beautiful and rich transformation in myself since first starting it seven weeks ago. So grateful. 🩵

Seven weeks felt a bit long, especially when I would miss a day and it eventually turned into 10 or 12 weeks. However, this definitely taught me a lot about perseverance having to dedicate a piece of my time to the book every day. I feel like I've learned a lot about myself and my perspective on relationships and though it is scary, I feel ready to put myself out there. Future partner, where you at?

Hands down one of the best books I've ever read. I bought this for myself for my birthday back in January 2024. I didn't decide to pull it off my shelf until 10/14/24. It took me longer than 7 weeks, as some days I skipped if I were busy or out of town, but today on 12/31/24 I completed it, and can say I will miss reading this. I've never highlighted and underlined so many beautiful quotes in a book before. This book is truly precious.

Read this with my girlfriends. Gosh just such thought provoking journal prompts and hours of incredible conversations. Therapy in a book. It’s aimed at single people but we have found it valuable for anyone to get to know themselves more and push themselves to show up more healthily in relationships (platonic or otherwise). Highly recommend, especially in a partner read situation
December 27, 2023
Ok the title looks kinda embarrassing on my Goodreads lol, but this is seriously a good book for self-development. It just tells you how to create the best version of yourself. I’d recommend this to anyone, not just to people who wanna find a partner
December 15, 2022
The end is just the beginning with this book! I’m looking forward to reviewing my notes and lessons that had me feeling stuck or panicked 😆
October 5, 2023
wow I can’t believe I actually made it to the end!!! I feel like I’ve learned or reinforced a lot of valuable lessons that have helped me become a better version of myself
January 30, 2024
Absolutely life changing. Recommend this to EVERYONE even in relationships!!! So powerful and like therapy!
March 9, 2024
Took me about 10 weeks to read but genuinely loved it. Was so insightful and helped me look within myself for the answers I was searching for. I will be recommending this to friends.
November 19, 2023
I bought this book as a joke after my latest breakup wrecked me in ways I have never experienced for. I thought it would be like cast a spell but it is actually a book that helps you work through past traumas from failed relationships to childhood disappointments. You have to do the work in order to truly reflect on the walls you’ve built. While I didn’t meet the love of my life after 7 weeks, I have a better understanding of who I want to be with and how to be comfortable and confident giving and receiving the love I want and deserve.

I was half way through the book and I just couldn’t do this. The book has some valuable inputs, very small snippets of them but mostly it tinges on victimisation. Most of the advices given border around making you feel like a victim and keeps you in a sad low place. Then it acts like giving a hand to help you. I couldn’t take it after a while.

Might as well have been called "calling in a integrous, more open and serene self". Really insightful read regardless of what you are or aren't looking for.

This is easily one of the best self-help books I’ve come across in a long time! While the title might suggest it's solely about attracting a romantic relationship, it’s truly so much more than that. It’s a deep exploration of self-love and self-care, with practical lessons and exercises that help you put these concepts into action. The book focuses on keeping an open heart and cultivating a specific energy that invites new opportunities into your life.
What really stood out to me is how the themes transcended love, dating, and relationships, and extended into every facet of my life—career, friendships, family, finances, home, passion projects. It reshapes your mindset to make choices from a place of love and approach life with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to take risks. It encourages embracing vulnerability, whether that means facing rejection, failure, or simply putting yourself out there in order to build a bigger life.
By the time I finished, I was tempted to start reading it again. I found myself underlining countless quotes, sharing new perspectives with friends and family, and inspiring a few of them to read it too. It’s the kind of book that offers fresh insights for anyone at any stage of life, making it one I’ll definitely revisit in a few years to see if I can derive new meaning. It's rare to find books with the power to shift my perspective the way this one did.

this book is mythical! this stuff really works, its soooo good. its about calling in the one but sooo much more! truly life changing. I have learned so much about what it means to be a loving person, to release the past and any limiting beliefs that keep one stuck and from cultivating the life they are more than worthy of having. At times very deep, especially the exercises, but very easy to understand. Truly an extraordinary book, by far the best book I have ever read on love, generating love, living in love, walking in the essence of love. I will say to give a fair warning, this definitely takes a lot of work and is for those that are truly ready to commit and make lasting changes in their lives period (not just romance/love). So just take it one day at a time, take a small break if you have to, and before you know it, you will be done :) Highly highly recommend, wishing everyone the best on their journey to calling in the one by first becoming the one! another note about katherine the author she is such an extraordinary extraordinary writer! and i feel like i became a better writer myself reading her work haha. And of course is a sublime therapist. She is like your therapist's therapist, like your teacher's teacher's teacher. so so amazing could not reccomend enough!!!!

I bought this book on Amazon April 2022 (the book was published in 2021; 2nd version of the book).
I took one month to read it and complete the exercise, 85% of those exercises I already read and did in the past. The book has 350 pages and forty-nine chapters to read.
The book is easy to read. the vocabulary used is simple.
I have been reading and following self-help leaders since 20115.
From my readings, most concepts evoked are not unique created by the author, but a collection of self-help tools seen elsewhere.
The book is not uniquely based on the finding the partner, but more on how to improve your life using self-help tools: law of attraction, law on intention, leadership skills, self-talk, gratitude, letting go, Tony, Robbins, NLP tools, Chakra healing, Louse Happy Affirmation, Shadow (inner child), Meditation.
If you are already into those, this book will not learn new concepts.
The missing part is the part that the love guru such as Matthew Hussey, or Alex Cormont speak daily. Both love coaches are more focused on daily life and approaches, rather than purely self-help tools. So, on this topic, I recommend their YouTube Channels.

I started reading “Calling in The One” over a year ago at the urging of author and influencer Danielle Prescod who credited the book for bringing her boyfriend into her life.
The book was written by Katherine Woodward Thomas, the therapist who created the concept of ‘conscious uncoupling’ popularized by Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin. While the book promises that you’ll attract the love of your life in seven weeks, that would mean you’d have to finish the book in seven weeks which I’m not sure is feasible for most people. Because really more than a book, it’s a framework for introspection that takes time to work through.
For me, I eventually was inspired to re-enter therapy to better work through some of the things that this book brought up for me.
It’s a year now since I started reading this book and while I’m not a ‘woo woo’ kind of person, I truly do feel that the prompts in this book helped me grow and trust my own intuition. Thanks to the book, therapy, time, and growth, I feel like I’m in a different place than I was when I started reading it, and I do, as cheesy as it sounds, feel much closer to manifesting love and other goals in my life.

I’m on lesson 16 of this book. I have created a morning routine of reading along in the book, while listening to the audio version, which is helpful for my wandering mind 🤓 I can’t recommend this book highly enough, and I would suggest getting your own copy because you may want to revisit certain lessons periodically. I have done a good amount of therapy, so some of this is reiterating what I already understand, but this book is impactful on a way I hadn’t anticipated, and reaching into areas other than relationships. This is such an amazing, compassionate, loving healing journey to be on, and I’m so grateful for Katherine’s work ❤️ there are 49 lessons in the book and it can take some time to get through them—BUT, as the author advises at the beginning, think about the time commitment a relationship entails, and then think about working through this book as a kind of primer for that. I found that framing to be helpful!
