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

Dr. Kasl brings a compassionate understanding to the anxiety and uneasiness of new love and helps readers discover their potential for vibrant human connection based on awareness, kindness, and honesty.

She approaches the dating process as a means of awakening. We are reminded that when we live by spiritual rules, we bring curiosity and a light heart to the romantic journey.

Filled with quotations from Zen, Sufism, 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. More
