Description

Lose weight. Act confident. Play hard to get. This approach to dating doesn’t lead to love, it leads to insecurity and loneliness. In Deeper Dating, psychotherapist Ken Page offers a new path to finding meaningful and lasting relationships. Learn how to attract people who love you for who you really are, become more self-assured and emotionally available, and lose your taste for relationships that diminish your self-esteem. With exercises, practical tools, and inspiring stories, Deeper Dating will guide you on a journey to find the love – and personal fulfillment – you long for.Review“Deeper Dating is counter-intuitive, and it is among the best manuals for succeeding in finding and keeping love we have seen. According to its author, the core attractor for the person best suited for a great love is the part of you with which you may be most uncomfortable: your vulnerability and authenticity. He explicitly votes against a presentational self attempting to make an impression. Not only does he encourage you to leave your defenses at home, he shows you with many illustrations and exercises just how to prepare for the ultimate relationship with someone who is just right for you.”—Harville Hendrix, Ph. D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph. D., authors of  Keeping the Love You Find and Making Marriage Simple“Deeper Dating is a beautiful journey into deeper intimacy, an inspiring and important guidebook for everyone seeking authentic love.”—Judith Orloff, MD, author of The Ecstasy of Surrender“If you are truly ready for big, heart-opening, lasting romantic love, this workshop-in-a book offers the proven step-by-step process. Highly recommended.”—Arielle Ford, author of The Soulmate Secret“Deeper Dating was a revelation for me. This enlightening book helped me to see the way we go about dating deeply influences the kind of relationship that will emerge. If you desire a soulmate, lead with your soul. So many of us come from that place of looking for that person who ‘completes’ us, but Ken helped me to see that I desire a partner who ‘reflects’ the best in me. Show your core gifts of vulnerability and authenticity and you’ll find a partner who does the same.”—Chip Conley, author of Emotional Equations and Peak“A unique and brilliant contribution. Chock full of practical wisdom as well as tender care.
