Synopsis

Relationship therapist Sonya Rhodes's liberating, straight-talking guide convincingly argues that successful modern women—the audience who embraced Lean In—can find the right guy without having to change or settle, and tells them how to do it.In the twenty-first century, women are outpacing men in education and career advancement. Yet amazingly, successful women constantly hear that their professional achievements doom their chances of marriage and family.Don't believe the alarmist hype, advises top relationship therapist Dr. Sonya Rhodes. Today's Alpha women—ambitious, self-assured, and hardworking— aren't going to end up lonely spinsters. They don't have to settle for Mr. Good Enough. Echoing Sheryl Sandberg's powerful message, The Alpha Woman Meets Her Match shares the secret necessary to triumph in love and work: find the right partner. It can be done—and Dr. Rhodes has the tools to help.Going beyond value judgments associated with the terms Alpha and Beta, she advises women to look past the overly competitive, domineering Alpha male for a man who's in touch with his inner Beta qualities—someone who is communicative, responsible, thoughtful, and collaborative. Demonstrating that most people are a combination of both sets of qualities, she includes a revealing test to help readers define where they (and their partners) are on the Alpha-Beta spectrum.

The Alpha Woman Meets Her Match is written by Dr. Sonya Rhodes and is somewhat of a new approach to relationship help.

In which Eunice sees the beginnings of where her parent's marriage went wrong. *** But seriously, tho': Probably the only self-help/dating/relationship book I've ever read that hasn't made me want to tear out my uterus and slap the author in the face with it. This book is great - it's dealing with the h......more

Goodreads review by MeMe on July 30, 2016

Overall I would give this book a great rating but there were certain things I did not like. I liked that it challenged me as an alpha woman to think about ,y partners different and that maybe I can get the power couple without an alpha male. However I found the language to b trite type style of writ......more

Goodreads review by Lucinda on April 15, 2014

Even if you (like me) are wary of nonfiction about dating/relationships, Dr. Sonya Rhodes really seems to be on to something with "The Alpha Woman Meets Her Match."

Good book on dating and relationships. Though I'm married and already found my perfect match, there were still some sections of the book that I could relate to.
