The authors of this no-nonsense self-help guide want lovers and potential partners to get heart-smart. They posit a factor called Relationship Intelligence (RI), which, unlike the IQ measured in schools, approaches real-world problems as complex, ill-defined and having no objectively "right" or "wrong" answers. Yale psychology professor Sternberg ( The Triarchic Mind ) and Whitney ( Uncommon Lives ) aim to free readers from false romantic myths, such as the belief that "chemistry" decides a match or the notion that sex is most important at the beginning of a relationship. Using mini-case histories, quizzes and profiles of "masked" personalities (Blamers, Conflict Avoiders, Controllers, etc.), they guide readers toward becoming "master lovers"--patient, selfless, never stagnating. Despite its pop-psych cliches, this relationship primer is based on uncanny good sense and shrewd clinical insight.
