I had a blind date back a few years ago. He was a very nice guy, and instead of flowers, he brought me this book. It's the best gift I ever got on a first date. The book was wonderful, but there was no chemistry with the guy.

This is one of the best dating books ever. Arthur Jeon reminds daters to stay in the moment, fight fair, and remember that the person you're dating isn't responsible for all the wrongs ever done to you.

Very down-to-earth and warm-hearted. I liked it more than I expected.

This book cracked me up. It's basically about how we approach relationships, most importantly the one we have with ourselves. Are we looking to others to fill a need because of our conditioning, or is there a way to turn off all that and enjoy the moments we're in without putting expectations on others?

My favorite paragraph from the book- " Ideally, we are in relationship as a form of celebration. But we are also in it as a way to grow spiritually. This growth may often be painful, but it is also inherently useful. Your partner's extreme sensitivity may stimulate your gentleness. Their dependence may trigger your patience. Their struggles may help you develop your compassion."

Love and relationships from a Buddhist perspective. Good advice; nothing earth-shatteringly new either.

Terrific book--easy to read, interesting, straight-forward, just great. It gives practical advice for appreciating your relationship IN THE MOMENT, and now how it will be, or should be. Each chapter is short and sweet, but has great insight. Good stuff.

A little easier to read than City Dharma but no less important. I find it to be very informational and every person in the US and abroad should take a look at this book.
