Synopsis

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FREAKIN' MAGNIFICENT YOU ARE? LET ME COUNT THE WAYS

Tired of endlessly swiping on dating apps? Dealing with flaky people? Going on dates that never should have happened in the first place? Settling for partners who aren't all that great for you?

All of that stops here. But first, we need to identify the gremlins getting in the way of your fulfillment in life and love. That's right -- I'm talking about The 5 Hidden Love Questions.

See, over the years, I've received around 5000 letters from readers asking for advice about love and relationships. For example:

• "Hey Dr. Victor, I went on a great date with this guy, but he hasn't texted or called in three days. What's going on?"
• "The guys I'm meeting on the dating apps are ghosting me after a couple of dates. What am I doing wrong?"
• "I love my boyfriend but we haven't gotten it on in a month. What gives?"

It didn't take a genius to notice a pattern: all the questions boiled down to the same basic stuff.
I call them The 5 Hidden Love Questions. Why? Because they're operating at such a deep level of your mind as to be hidden. Below conscious awareness. So they are running your life right now even as you read, whether you're aware of them or not. Get the answers to the questions wrong, and you'll be miserable without even knowing why. Get them right, and your love and life with improve radically.

Drawing from ancient wisdom (Buddhism, Taoism, Zen, yoga) and modern science (neuroscience, psychology, game theory, evolutionary biology), I packed this book chock-full of practical strategies for smart strong women like yourself to successfully navigate modern romance, own your power, and flourish like never before. I sincerely hope it's the last dating book you'll ever need. Some of the stuff I'd like to share with you:
