The #1-Rated Dating Book by Readers on Amazon for 157 Weeks, April 2010 to April 2013

This is what readers say:

‘I have read many books about relationships and dating, but The Tao of Dating is one of a kind, so different and mind-blowing in its common sense and simplicity that it is impossible to put it down once you start reading.’

‘Well, where shall I start? Mind blowing? Life-changing? Truly opened my eyes? No words can express how much I love this book. I wish I had read it much earlier.’

‘I keep this book in a small, carefully chosen, boxed collection of ‘indispensable advice I wish I had written’ that I will pass along to my children as they navigate through teens, twenties, early adulthood and beyond.’

‘This turned out to be one of the most transformative books I have ever read much more so than I thought it possibly could be.’

‘The content is intelligent and compassionate and enriching far beyond anything to do with dating. In essence, this book somehow, magically, alchemically, brings you back to yourself. Everyday TV and other media specialize in portraying women as cheap and disposable. This book is the antidote. Just by reading it, one is restored to one’s own heart. I can think of no better praise.’

’1.5 reads of the book in and I can honestly say that I not only have a clear sense of the basic things that I was doing that were completely throwing off the dynamic with these men, but that I now have simple, quite beautiful little tools in mind when I’m interacting with men that make me properly excited to date. I’ll admit that I bought a few books in this vein in one lump…but ‘The Tao of Dating’ just completely blew them out of the water.’

‘This is the most helpful dating book that I have experienced! At the time of my purchase I also downloaded two other books and after reading this I can’t even get through the first chapter of the other ones.’

‘Thanks to this specific book, I went from having a nonexistent dating life, with empty weeks stretching ahead to being booked every night of the week and in some cases, having two or three dates per evening… the results, for me, were dramatic: I now feel like I have my pick of the litter a slew of fabulous guys who all clamor for my attention.’

 

Can You Have it All? Hell Yeah!

I believe that smart, successful women CAN have it all — both a great career AND a rich, warm, fulfilling love life. Do read on if you agree.

See — smart women like yourself were having unfulfilling love lives on an epidemic scale when I was an advisor at Harvard. They either couldn’t find the right guy, were with the wrong guy, had relationships that didn’t last, or had given up on dating entirely. So I wrote this book to remedy the situation.

This is not your grandma’s dating guide. Partially because I’m not your grandma, and partially because the 21st century poses unprecedented challenges to the modern woman. With a high-powered career, it may seem that there just isn’t time for love. And nowadays, lots of guys are less educated & affluent than you. What to do?

Ancient Wisdom + Modern Science = Lasting Love & Happiness for You

This book combines ancient wisdom with modern science to give smart, successful women like yourself a heart-centered, science-based, practical guide to finding fulfillment in your love lives — and far beyond. I give it all to you in a progression of small, easy steps that put the fun back in dating, plus the science and reasoning behind it so you can trust where it all comes from.

 

REVIEW:
I loved the Tao of Dating: the Smart Woman’s Guide to Being Absolutely Irresistable. I’ve read a lot of relationship books but this one seemed to resonate with me the most. It’s kind of hard to describe what it is about this book that makes you feel so special, so sensual, so…womanly. It’s about harnessing the inner goddess, the one who is downplayed because in our society we have to be strong and stand on our own, and we don’t need a man! But…we still want one. It’s hard to find the balance between the yin(feminine) and the yang(masculine) when our yin is muted so much. It’s time to remember what it means to be a woman and stop worrying how to get a man. They will come. Men want women. Period. Stop caring so much. The idea of being detached and expecting no outcome was incredibly uplifting to me. Imagine the freedom of not having to worry what a man thinks of you…who cares! This book shows you a new perspective on how to look at these situations. For instance, say someone doesn’t like champagne, that doesn’t mean that champagne is bad, maybe it’s just not for them. This approach will make it easier, not to mention you will learn how to stop feeling rejected. You can let go of the striving to be more, you already are everything you want! A metaphor from the book that I truly enjoyed-(paraphrased)…A sapling of great redwood is still a redwood, even when it is just a sapling. At every point of its journey, it is a great redwood, it just keeps growing.

One aspect of this book that I really loved was the thought that I shouldn’t ask for something because it affirms that it is missing in my life. Replace desire with gratitude. Instead of focusing on the fact that I don’t have a good man, car, etc…I am thankful for what I have and I seek to serve others. The world, in turn will seek to serve me. I am a server and I have been practicing this when I get bad tips. I am grateful that I have more money than I did when I came in, and I am continuously repeating to myself that I am grateful for the abundance in my life. It makes the bad tippers not matter as much and the good tips reaffirm the abundance. I have been making a lot more money recently! I also have been practicing the embodiment of characteristics of femininity. I mostly focus on feeling radiant and everyone I work with has been saying that I have a glow about me that wasn’t there before! It’s amazing.
I really liked the idea that pain is wishing the world is different than it is. Now I understand the Buddhist thought that desire leads to suffering. Focusing on the positive brings more of it your way, if you focus on negativity, you will get negativity. “When you have gratitude for something, you are accepting its presence into your life and affirming it to the world. In return, the world will do the same and manifest the object in your life.”

So now, I am thankful for all of the witty, creative, handsome amazing men in my life!

You will also learn 5 behaviors that send men running, as well as ways to keep them around. One of my favorite thoughts from the book- “Women control the depth of the relationship, men control the direction.” Stop directing ladies! Let men be men! You be a lady! Enjoy your wonderful sensual self and others will follow.
