If the Buddha Dated

If the Buddha Dated: A Handbook for Finding Love on a Spiritual Path
by Charlotte Kasl

In this practical, playful, yet spiritual guide, Charlotte Kasl, author of the highly successful Finding Joy: 101 Ways to Free Your Spirit and Dance with Life, shows you what it would be like to have the ancient wisdom of the Buddha to guide you through the dating process.

She approaches the dating process as a means for awakening, reminding us that when we live by spiritual rules, we bring curiosity and a light heart to the romantic journey. Filled with quotations from Zen, Sufi, and other wisdom traditions, and informed by the experiences of people from all walks of life, here is a relationship book that will appeal to readers looking for more than a Venus-meets-Mars solution to the complex affairs of the heart.

Deeper Dating

Deeper Dating: How to Drop the Games of Seduction and Discover the Power of Intimacy
by Ken Page

Lose weight. Be confident. Keep your partner guessing. At the end of the day, this soulless approach to dating doesn’t lead to love, it leads to insecurity and desperation. In Deeper Dating, Ken Page presents a new path to love. Out of his decades of work as a psychotherapist–and out of his own personal struggle to find love–Page teaches that the greatest magnet for real love lies in our “Core Gifts”–the places of our deepest sensitivity, longing, and passion. Deeper Dating guides us to discover our own Core Gifts and then teaches us to extricate these gifts from the wounds that keep them buried, empowering us to express them with courage, generosity, and discrimination in our dating life. When we do this, something miraculous happens: we begin to attract people who love us for who we really are, we become more self-assured and emotionally available, and we lose our taste for relationships that chip away at our self-esteem. Without losing a pound, changing our hairstyle, or buying a single new accessory, we find healthy love moving closer. Deeper Dating integrates the best of human intimacy theory with timeless spiritual truths and translates them into a practical, step-by-step process.

Finding the Right One After Divorce: Avoiding the 13 Common Mistakes People Make in Remarriage
by Edward Tauber & Jim Smoke

There are 23 million divorced people in the United States today. More than 80 percent of these people will remarry, and many of those marriages will fail.

To help readers avoid making the mistakes others have made, the authors present 13 wrong reasons to remarry, including:

  • loneliness
  • need to be needed
  • to provide fathers or moms for kids
  • to prove the divorce wasn’t their fault
  • they’ve found their “soul mates”

Tauber and Smoke provide practical guidelines based on biblical principles to help people find partners who share values, have compatible personalities, agree on child-raising principles, and more.

by Alexandra Katehakis, MFT

“When you’re brave enough to surrender and take responsibility for joining with your partner, you experience a depth of connection that far surpasses the chemical rush of any sexually addictive exploit. Erotic sex makes sex addiction look like child’s play because it requires the maturity and responsibility for oneself and mutual caring for each other that only an adult can muster. Erotic Intelligence is a resource that any couple can use together to know themselves and each other better, towards the goal of creating and maintaining a rewarding sex life.” – Alexandra Katehakis

Erotic Intelligence provides couples healing from the pain of sexual addiction with a roadmap to re-write their sexual story, from one of betrayal, to one of healing, and finally to one of vibrant erotic sex.” – Stefanie Carnes, PhD, CSAT; Author of Mending a Shattered Heart: A Guide for Partners of Sex Addicts.
