This book illuminates the way women think and act in a relate-able, fascinating way. I am a strong Alpha but also scored high in the Beta block, which demonstrated that we are all highly complex creatures and that there's room for learning, growing and even changing! What a great and helpful message.

As an entrepreneur and CEO, I identify with the alpha female who's not afraid to seize an opportunity when I see it. I was empowered by Dr. Sonya's book.

I’m part Beta, a people-pleaser…not a bad trait as a local publisher. The Alpha girl in me needed more coaxing, because I didn’t want to be thought of as “pushy” or “aggressive.” Once I unleashed my Alpha, I realized my power as a woman and as a professional. I have new clout and even more public-figure status around town.

Though being a "strong black woman" is a cliché I have come to resent, I appreciate the nuance of the "alpha" woman label. For one its gives me, as an individual, the "credit" for being a leader who's hardworking. And empowers me to apply those same traits in every area of my life, unapologetically.

I've lived with a man 18 years younger than I am for almost 14 years. He's lovely and smart and delicious and respectful of my independence. I detest the very demeaning and snarky term "cougar."

This is an eye-opening read. I always thought I had to be either Beta or Alpha, one extreme or another, and sought out partners like that. Rhodes had taken down some serious limiting beliefs I had about men and relationships.

I am an RD registered dietition with my own business. Being an Alpha female is something I am not ashamed of. It is the true me. I have a man's determination, but I use a feminine approach. I know what I want, and I can lead others to their own happiness.

A fascinating and empowering book, and a must-read for any woman navigating the dating world in the modern age. After looking objectively at my own Alpha and Beta traits, Rhodes has allowed me to view my own patterns and relationships in a new light.

As an at-home Beta dad of two daughters, I read this insightful book with an eye toward the future. Happy to report my Alpha wife and I are living the kind of partnership Dr. Rhodes describes. Just wrote a humorous memoir about it that I hope to publish soon!

Ask Dr. Rhodes

Q: My fiancé and I are both a good mix of Alpha and Beta (we tested lime green on the quiz). As we prepare for marriage, I’m concerned that because I work for myself and he works for a traditional company, I’ll end up the de facto stay-at-home Mom when we have children. He is the breadwinner, and I don’t have a boss to report to like he does, but I take my work very seriously–and I hate the idea of one day waking up to realize I’ve unintentionally given up my career. How and when do you suggest we have a conversation? And how can my I make my argument valid?
