Book excerpt: In the majority of romance and relationship books on the market today, the endgame is attracting the romantic relationships we desire. But skill in the art of romance does not assure happiness. Love Life 101 shows how awareness of factors - such as who we truly are, why we are here, and how we are connected to each other - can make the difference between a meaningful love life and an often painful waste of time. Insights learned from hundreds of near-death experiences (NDEs) and the mystic perspective shared by spiritual luminaries of all religions, cultures, and eras reveal how our physical and spiritual realities are intertwined. We cannot properly understand our physical world choices if we are oblivious to the spiritual world context in which they arise. Awareness of this "bigger picture" helps us find our life partner, have a more graceful love life and reduce the level of pain and missteps we encounter. Love Life 101 creates a step-by-step guide for applying the profound benefits of NDEs and the mystic traditions in romantic relationships. A fundamentally important publication for anyone interested in improved relationships and personal fulfillment, Love Life 101 is a masterful guide that shifts the paradigm of the self-help romance and relationship market for the better.
