Get Rid of Him: The Book That Tells You How, When and Why to Do It!

Vedral, author of The Fat-Burning Workout , here encourages women to shed still more unwanted pounds--those of the undesirable men in their lives. Organizing her material under slogan-like headings (``You Can't Work It Out if There's Nothing to Work With''; ``Stop Blaming Him''), she identifies traits that make a man ``bad'' for a woman--if he's not ``on the mainland,'' that is, he has too many psychological problems; if he ``cheats on you and has a double standard''; if you ``can't stand'' to go to bed with him. Prescribing the remedy suggested in her title, Vedral offers 15 ways to enable oneself to end a relationship. These include ``Realize That Solitude and Freedom Are Priceless Gifts, Not Punishments--Then Do It'' and ``Improve Your Self-Image,'' in which she recommends obtaining a makeover at a department store cosmetics counter. Even the references to Jung and Joseph Campbell can't disguise this tome's superficiality. (Jan.)
