One Shrink's Sensible Advice for Finding a Lasting Relationship
From the New York Times bestselling authors of F*ck Feelings, this irreverent roadmap offers essential guidance for those disillusioned by the pursuit of true love, aiming for a real, lasting relationship. Many believe romantic partnerships are challenging due to complex emotions, but the authors argue that the root of the problem lies in our tendency to choose partners based on feelings like love, excitement, and attraction. Instead of chasing the elusive notion of true love, Dr. Michael Bennett and his daughter Sarah provide practical criteria for identifying good partnerships that can foster genuine love, even when the initial romance fades. They encourage readers to let go of preconceived notions about ideal partners and evaluate the pros and cons of eight common traits: charisma, beauty, chemistry, communication, sense of humor, family stability, intelligence, and wealth. The Bennetts suggest that focusing on mutual attraction, respect, shared interests, and goals will yield better results, whether meeting someone at a bar, online, or through a friend. With quizzes, case studies from Dr. Bennett’s practice, and humorous flow charts, this book is filled with advice to help you navigate the pitfalls of relationships and find a meaningful connection.
