in a committed relationship." - Christiane Northrup, M.D., New York

lasting and real." --Joyce Maynard, New York Times bestselling

life, this is the book for you." --Jed Diamond, Ph.D. Founder,

life. It's not a 'how-to' book. It's a 'why' and a 'what' book. As
such, it may actually live up to its title." --Rosalyn Dischiavo,

M.D., Director of the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic
Training and Research, and author of The Talking Cure "I have very
rarely been so impressed with the practicality and engagement of a

approach is incredibly compelling and will serve readers of this
book well. I am so glad he has made his work available to all." --

continued fabulous sex." --Mary Jane Minkin, M.D., Clinical
