PRAISE FOR THE BOOK
"With decades of careful observation and experience, Paschal Baute brilliantly describes human behavior in a way that
truly "connects the dots." From published academic research to simple
anecdotes, he reveals the essence of romantic and long-lasting relationships.
With wit and enthusiasm, he describes the choices we have to be reflective and
to love ourselves in order to succeed in loving others. Dr. Baute's chapters,
and practical advice for navigating our common human shortcomings, result from
his life's journey. In their analyses, these 'to-the-point' examples and
suggestions tell the story of our basic nature. If only everyone (but
especially our lovers, family members and world leaders) would read this book
to learn how to triumph in self-love and healthy relationships!

"I
love this book. It's just what the doctor ordered. Paschal's many exercises on
rebuilding intimacy are a godsend. This has helped me and my bride of 40 years
renew our vows and refresh our life together. Paschal's skill as a counselor
and font of practical wisdom is evident on every page. Highly
recommended!"

"Dr. Pascal Baute offers
such a unique perspective on this subject matter.
His convergent wisdom as a family man who is deeply in
love with his wife, as a pastoral figure, and as a clinical psychologist
provides both the professional and lay reader with the experience of being
guided by a mystical, down-to-earth sage. I so admire everything about Pascal's
insights on these matters, and am delighted that he put these insights to the
page!"
