2 What to expect

A relationship advice book by the author of Think Like a Monk, built on eight rules grouped into four stages of love drawn from Vedic teaching. It starts with being alone and knowing yourself, moves on to finding and keeping a partner, and deals with letting go when love ends. The tone is warm and encouraging, and it is general guidance for any stage of a relationship, not a method tested by research.
