About this listen

If everyone is looking to secure a relationship with their perceived best option, then the perception of value must be at the heart of human coupling. In this groundbreaking work, psychologist Orion Taraban sets forth his economic model of relationships and exposes the often uncomfortable laws that govern the sexual marketplace. After listening to "The Value of Others," you'll never look at relationships the same way again.

Devastatingly accurate knowledge

Orion continues to scratch my itch for understanding the inner workings of others and myself. As a young romantic, a lot of it is a hard pill to swallow. I’m only grateful that I’m open minded enough to do so and I pray that more people in my generation will begin to be able to as well.

Incredible insights and mental models

Brings clarity and fresh perspectives to a very messy human problem. Will also buy the paperback not only to support him but also to annotate and take notes. The author also has a YouTube channel called Psyhacks with amazing info

Excellent book!

Excellent book. Very informative re interpersonal relationships and sexual relationships specific. The topics discussed are the things everybody knows are there and drive relationships, but nobody ever talks about, at least not in such a honest, logically sound and well explained manner. Great job.

undeniable logic without gender bias

I don't want this to be true, but it is. Unconfortable truth hurts, but I can't disaggree it is all factual.

Refreshing perspective on dynamics of relationships

Realistic & relevant way of diagnosing modern relationships , covering both the psychology and economic considerations from both men and women’s perspectives. Great use of analogies!

Excellent narration but very broad

Very good high level and broad concepts. Narration was excellent. I personally was hoping for something less broad and more specific. There was not a lot that you could take action based off of. I enjoyed the ship, captain passenger analogy but again not much actionable advice. Please write another book but get specific on how to improve one’s position in the SM.

ONLY ONE COULD HAVE COVERED THE PRICE !! Peter 1, 18 -19

For both captains and passengers!!
And he didn’t do it with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with PRECIOUS BLOOD! Like that of a lamb without defect or spot, the blood of the Messiah!!
HE IS STILL ON THE THRONE!
Remember that!

Great Perspective!

Helps a lot to move past snake oil thought processes and view it in a objective manner. I've been sharing this with everyone I know. Thank you!

a core truth

The thing I like most about this book is that it tells you how things in relationships, sex, and life work. This isn't a book for someone seeking guidance or following a specific agenda. It's a book for all people who want to understand how things work in the world of relationships. Ultimately, it's up to us how we behave, knowing about human economic relationships. Personally, many things made sense to me, and I often found myself rewinding to listen to certain parts of the book again.
