Happily Ever After: The Fairytale Formula for Lasting Love

I picked up this book at a used bookstore in England. I'm pretty sure I thought it was a collection of fairytales and thought that it might contain the fairytale that I remember but can't seem to find anywhere. I had a pretty good laugh at myself when I finally really looked at it a few weeks ago and realized it was a self-help book, albeit one inspired by fairytales.

Some key tips:

Know your inner value, no matter how worthless your external situation may seem

If a man wants to sweep you off your feet, go ahead and let him. Just because he's gallant doesn't mean he wants you to quit your day job and take up knitting.

Don't take one man's rejection as a reflection of your worth.

See the beauty and value in your own life. Don't assume it's inferior to your idealized vision of someone else's.

Don't let a bad experience with one man make you suspicious of the next. All men are not alike.

Don't give up on love, even if it seems like you've been single for one hundred years. The length of time it takes is no reflection on your worth or appeal.

It was cute. It was based on fairytales (which I love) and most importantly it reminded me to get back to the basics and focus on the positive possibilities for my future not the bad luck clouding my past.
