Comprehensive and Enlightening...Science meets Spirituality

Drs Weiner and Hoffman devoted 7 years to compile the research necessary to complete this book...they have integrated their information from a number of fields, including biology, developmental psychology, and personality theory. A more subtle undercurrent of the book has to do with spirituality, and gaining further insight into the Self. I believe this book will be extremely helpful to other professionals in the field of psychology, as well as those looking to meet their spiritual and practical counterpart...if you are looking for love and haven't found it, this book will help in illuminating why and will assist in self-enlightment, the first step of finding true, lasting intimacy and love. Highly recommended!

Sorting Out Mr. Right from Mr. Wrong!

At last, a more reasonable approach to sorting out Mr. Right from Mr. Wrong! It's an amazing book and very empowering. I learned so much about myself and why some of my past relationships just didn't work out. Now my love life won't be left totally to chance. Thank you, authors Bakur-Weiner and Hoffman for your help!

The Significance of Personality Traits

As a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst, I have always considered the importance of enduring patterns that organize one's internal and external experience. Drs. Hoffman and Weiner have provided a very practical and significant toool in utilizing traits to determine compatibility when considering a soulmate. Often the failure to appreciate one's own personality dimensions and those of others can lead to poor choices in relationships. The authors provide a very clear method of self-assessing the presence and intensity of twelve distinct traits and correlating them with those of a potential mate. This book is a gem, well written, and a must read for both the professional and the general public.

IMPORTANT RESEARCH TOOL

As a Columbia University Graduate Student I found this book useful in the classroom as well as in my personal life. Reader friendly, but not to be confused with a Cosmopolitan Girl style "How To..." pop piece of work, "The Love Compatibility Book" has simple quizzes that helped me to design some research protocols of my own. On a more intimate level this book confirmed for me and helped me to understand where I stood as a person and a companion. I recommend this book to the serious social scientists among us as well as to those who yearn for direction or reaffirmation in the proper employment of the most powerful of all human emotions ... "Love."
