Best Dating Advice I Ever Got 2: Get Over a Breakup, Avoid Bad Boys, Find Love & More Smart Moves for Smart Women Kindle Edition

Surprising Solutions to Smart Women’s Most Common Dating Problems


From the author of the #1-Rated Dating Book on Amazon for 157 weeks, The Tao of Dating: The Smart Woman’s Guide to Being Absolutely Irresistible


“Where do you find good men? Why do I keep falling for bad boys? What is love anyway? How do I get him to commit? What about online dating? Do men love bitches? How do I get the guy to fall in love with me? How do I get him back?”

You ladies have sent me thousands of questions like these since I started the Tao of Dating blog in 2008. In response, I’ve written a few hundred articles. Best Dating Advice I Ever Got 2 is a collection of the 35 best of those articles to bring even more love, joy and sexiness into your life, as voted by hundreds of thousands of discerning (and demanding) readers like yourself. In fact, one of you just interviewed me about the book with some...

Frequently Asked Questions about Best Dating Advice I Ever Got 2



Discerning Reader: You look great.

Dr Ali: Thanks! I'm already liking this interview, even though that's not really a question.

Discerning Reader: Who the heck are you and why should we listen to you?

Dr Ali: Ah, real question. They say the last words of the Buddha were “go figure it out for yourself.” So you should listen to you. Sure, I’ve got some decent ideas for you to try out. I even give you the science why they are good ideas. And if it makes you feel better that I’m trained as a scientist, doctor, consultant and hypnotherapist – i.e. a professional problem solver – great! Still, it’s up to you to test the ideas and see how they work for you. So go out there and get your hands dirty.

Q: Fair enough. But everyone and their grandma has written a dating book. How is this book different?

A: A lot of books out there offer opinions without much support. Occasionally, some are good, but how can you tell the good tips from the mediocre and downright dangerous ones?

When I offer a piece of advice, I make sure it’s based on verified scientific fact or ancient wisdom that’s been around for thousands of years. Then, after telling you why you should do something, I tell you how to do it, too. If you’re going to change your behavior, an idea isn’t enough. You also need a plan for action.

Q: Who is this book meant for?

A: It’s meant for smart, strong women everywhere. My readers are doctors, lawyers, professors, psychologists, writers, artists, professionals. Some are colelge age; most are over 27. Lots of single moms. Many are coming off a divorce or breakup of a long-term relationship and are just looking for some basic training to get back in the dating scene.

Q: What kind of love problems will this book solve?

A: So glad you asked. Here are some chapter headings:
How to make a man fall in love with you
7 things you should always do on a date
8 things you should never do on a date
How often should you call him?
Six dangers of online dating
How to get over a breakup
Bad boys and how to avoid them
Are men intimidated by you?
What is vulnerability?
Evils of email and text
What to do when they go poof
Why long-distance relationships suck
The Deadbeat Boyfriend Test
Six things that make women irresistibly sexy
Before you say “I do”: a checklist for women
Should you tangle with a married guy?
Your friend, the penis: a user's manual
The near side and far side of women’s sexual power
For a great time, keep these two body parts open
“Should I get back with my ex — after five breakups?”
What were you thinking, girl? How to stop self-sabotage
Access your infinite well of beauty

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Hi there! I'm Ali Binazir, M.D., M.Phil, Chief Happiness Engineer at HappinessEngineering.com. I'm a graduate of Harvard College, UC San Diego School of Medicine, and Cambridge University. Trained as a physician, business consultant, and behavioral change therapist, I teach people how to lead healthier, happier, more fulfilling lives.

My book "The Tao of Dating: The Smart Woman's Guide to Being Absolutely Irresistible" was the highest-rated dating book on Amazon for 7 years and the most-highlighted title on Kindle. I recently published "Should I Go to Medical School?: An Irreverent Guide to the Pros and Cons of a Career in Medicine".

I left San Francisco in 2017 to find out what made societies happy (or miserable). After 3 years of living in places like Bali, Finland, Colombia, Argentina and Portugal, I've come up with some ideas to share in my Happiness Engineering online course.

I read lots of neuroscience, psychology, general science, personal growth and general nonfiction (about 3 per week). I'm always eager to find out about extraordinary books, so if you have one, send it my way at DrAli(at)HappinessEngineering.com. For my book recommendations, check out my blog, follow me on GoodReads, or join the Brainiacs Book Club.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2013

    A well-meaning family memeber recommended "The Tao of Dating: ", so, wanting to be the cooperative sister, I bought it and thought I'd better read through the first chapter. (If you don't have THAT book, you should purchase it along with this one... Just sayin'!) THAT quickly led me to Dr. B's facebook page and blog page and now... this.

    "Best Dating Advice I Ever Got 2" is one of the most comprehensive, self-help books I've ever picked up, and believe me, I've picked up quite a few having been in an abusive marriage with an alcoholic and now a child in rehab for substance abuse. Dr. B, as he is so fondly known, is a woman in a man's body - or a least a man who really knows how to get in touch with his feminine side.

    This book will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will make you put it down and go "Hmmmmmmm" and it will have you looking inside at place you never knew existed. If you're looking for a "guys are all dirtbags" or a "this is how to change a man to be what you want" book, then keep looking. Dr. B encourages us women to be the "goddess" we are, to have the right mindset, and to focus on (here's a spoiler, so don't read on if you don't want to know one of the secrets) fullfillment. It is a feeling, not a person. My daughter and I use dry erase markers to leave notes for each other on our bathroom mirrors. This one is now written, in BOLD RED, across the top of both.

    After completing yet another great read with great, practical advice for women on being the best you and catching the "good boy" you want and deserve, I will be stocking my shelves (and my iPOD) with Dr. B's material. As the title says, "get over a breakup, avoid bad boys, find love, and (many, many) more smart moves" are right around the corner for you in this easy read book.

    Go, ladies! There IS someone out there, waiting, just for you! I can feel it. Put on your crown and get going!!!

    Thank you, Dr. B, for once more telling it like it is!

    After reading his first book, the Tao of Dating, I knew that I had to read this follow-up book. As Dr. Binzair says, fulfillment is a feeling, not a person, and I have to say I am totally fulfilled after reading it. I found it hard to put down.

    Dr. Binzair's writing is fun, and full of humor. As we see ourselves mirrored in some of his stories and examples, we'll be dealt with humility, not with shame, as he tell us to stop it, get over it, and be the goddess we are. After reading it I feel empowered, strong and equipped to go forward with confidence, leading the way with love, and vulnerability.

    The beauty of this way of thinking..., both men and women come ahead in this book. The ying and the yang. It's so much more than a dating book, it full of life lessons. In the course of reading his two books, I have downloaded many of his recommendations, A Women's Worth, The Tao of Daily Life, and continue to learn from them and his blog.

    Then there's the ending of the book, where the good doctor steps into the belief that everything we need is inside of us. I have heard this and have not understood how this could be. After reading the ending of the book, I have had my aha moment.
    Thank you Dr. Ali Binzair. I will read this book again, and again, as my relationships unfold.

    I volunteered to read the advance copy of the Best Dating Advice I Ever Got 2 since I had read the Tao of Dating. This new book does not disappoint! I am new to the dating world after 35 yrs of marriage and confess I needed help. After reading several "self help" dating advice books I read the Tao of Dating. It was easy reading, FULL of writing that made sense and gave me hope, great confidence in myself. Now I am in a relationship and so excited to read the Best Dating Advice I Ever Got 2. This is an extension of tremendous tips (and pitfalls to avoid)that anyone can apply as they date - from 20 to 100 yr. Dr. Ali Binazir has wonderful insights into the workings of the female mind. Now I will think before I act and therefore work towards the results I want. I have more control over the situation and myself. Read this book!! He instructs/guides in a subtle manner and it's a delightful read. I challenge you to learn some helpful insights of dating. Prepare to be happy!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Bit Too Personal at Times, but Fun and Informative
    Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2013

    I was fortunate to get this book free on Kindle, as I had
    promised to read it and comment on it, but, even so, I was
    surprised at how much I liked it.

    The author is very personable, perhaps too much so for my
    taste (I'm an older reader), or perhaps I should say,
    too specific in a sometimes embarrassing way, but he writes well, has a
    good sense of humor, and knows a lot about his subject.
    I found myself laughing at many of his chapters, one
    of my favorites having to do with How to Get Rid of
    Dead-Beat Boys, and another reminding us of just how
    lucky we are to be alive, let alone finding it
    important, possible, and not-so-difficult to find the perfect,
    or even not-so-perfect, but loving mate.

    He is also very, very good at being our friend; that is,
    reminding us that a lot of the pain we experience in dating
    is, well, the pain we should have known better than to seek
    out (i.e., dating married men, bragging too much about our
    accomplishments, being competitive rather than cooperative,
    etc.).

    I also liked his chapter on Game Theory--an interesting
    and novel application to dating theory, I thought.

    I think this book is not only entertaining, but, overall,
    a healthy, informative, and compassionate take on helping
    us to help ourselves. Good work Dr. Ali!

    I have really enjoyed this book as much as the tao of dating from Dr Ali. It is again inspirational with many notes and pointers that I would like to constantly remind myself of. A lot of much needed philosophies for all woman out there who are not just seeking for love but also for personal empowerment/development and becoming the best version of yourself. I believe every woman can relate to that. This is the type of book that I would always go back to from time to time. Thank you again for this wonderful book Dr Ali Binazir,
