Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?” You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives - they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including whom to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love.

A relationship expert and dating columnist shares her counterintuitive approach to lasting love: encouraging women to date their "non-types". After years of dating, many women fall into relationship ruts. As serial daters, they are attracted to the same type of man time and again. Clearly something's not working. But the problem is not that he's just not that into them - the reality is he's just not their type.

Story
Superheroes don't start from glorious beginnings. Their origins are almost always marked by traumatic events that leave them helpless and scared. Batman witnessed his parents' murder. Superman was sent away from his dying planet with no one to guide him as he grew up. Orphaned Catwoman was forced to steal food to survive on the streets of Gotham. What makes these superheroes super is their determination to not be defined by helplessness. They embrace their origins, their flaws, and their mistakes and strive every day to become the best versions of themselves.

Conventional wisdom says that "it takes two" to turn a troubled marriage around and that both partners must have a shared commitment to change. So when couples can't agree on how - or whether - to make their marriage better, many give up or settle for a less-than-satisfying marriage (or think the only way out is divorce). Fortunately, there is an alternative. It Takes One to Tango is a groundbreaking guide that shows how one determined partner can spark lasting, significant change in a marriage.

Did you actually get the results you wanted? You see, most relationship tips fail because people approach them with the mindset of resistance. Any sense of resistance that we experience within ourselves is due to us feeling fragmented. We feel fragmented because of our own limiting beliefs and negative social programming.

Where was this book years ago!
I loved this book! It was the most insightful and relatable relationship book I have ever read/listened to. He couldn't be more accurate in his reasons for why people are the way they are in relationships. The book has lifted weights off my shoulders and given me confidence to move forward in relationship issues I've struggled with. I recommend this book to men and women of ALL ages who are struggling with commitment, rubbing from relationships, feeling confused in relationships and questioning things, people who are seeking perfection in a mate and always dissatisfied, individuals who truly want to find lasting love and relationship success... This book is for you!
