I wanted to love this book - it's just the kind of book I read voraciously for my work.

But as soon as I started, I realize the information shared wasn't from the perspective of someone whose dated a lot, or recently. It felt more like a "I'm telling you because I'm the expert," and not from a place of actually living it.

The most informative part of the book was the very end, the summary. I felt like this was the meat of the book, and could have stayed as an article as opposed to a fully fleshed out book.

Again, wanted to love it. It rubbed me the wrong way right from the start, and I didn't feel better about it until the very end.

Haven't reviewed this publicly, didn't think it would be useful for my readers.

This book is engagingly written and full of information.

Unfortunately I felt like I was reading a mindfulness book rather than a 'incorporate mindfulness into dating' book. The dating setup felt like it was to get me in the door and once I was in? BAM cyclic breathing.

Don't get me wrong, it's a decent enough book, it just wasn't for me.

Seeking Soulmate seemed like an easy read on the surface but really forced me to delve into my psyche to understand my dating patterns of year's past. I'd recommend this book to anyone who needs a boost of confidence when forming new relationships.

I am not going to trash another author's work, but I couldn't get through this wordy and not terribly interesting book that didn't inspire me at all. I'm sorry.
