Acknowledging that the search for love is filled with uncertainty and self-doubt, clinical psychologist Taitz presents readers with helpful tools to better navigate their romantic lives and their time spent alone. The book doubles as a guide to more general self-care, as Taitz's central message-"The more present you can be, the more fulfillment you will experience"-can be applied to all aspects of life. However, Taitz focuses on identifying common psychological missteps in the realm of dating, particularly as they pertain to today's dating culture. She shows how ruminating on past relationships-which is increasingly common thanks to social media-contributes to depression, anxiety, and overall stress. Taitz is a knowledgeable, empathetic teacher whose goals here are more about a change in perspective than tangible outcomes. (Jan.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
