By: Alexandra H. Solomon PhD

Narrated by: Vanessa Daniels

Real love starts with you. Loving someone else requires courage and vulnerability. And in order to create deep and authentic relationships that really go the distance, it's important to develop self-awareness and a willingness to take responsibility for your experiences. You've heard the saying, "You can't love anyone unless you love yourself first." But in the midst of life's distractions and society's myths of flawless romance, how exactly do you do that? Loving Bravely offers 20 powerful lessons to help you explore and commit to your own emotional and psychological well-being so you can be ready, resilient, and confident in love. By understanding your history and past relationships, cultivating an unshakable sense of who you are, and determining what it is you really want in a romantic partner, you'll be prepared to create the healthy, lasting love your heart truly desires.

Alexandra Solomon is right up there with the Gottman’s when it comes to what she can teach anyone about relationship with others. Brimming with insightful, data-driven wisdom. I wish she read it all.

Wonderful

This is one of the only books I’ve been able to listen to all the way through. I love the perspective and the way that book is laid out. I also printed out all the worksheets available online and used them as I was listening. These tips and tricks can be used for all intrapersonal relationships. Not just romantic ones great read over all

sex, communication and mindfulness

a great combo, a must listen for want-to-be-thoughtful-partners & brave lovers; definitely a book I will come back to

A must read for anyone committing to relationship

I wish I read this book in my twenties. Now in my forties it helps me find affirmation and words for lessons learned through my own experiences. It also helps me find new solutions and answers. I love how it offers a positive attitude and perspective of turning roadblocks in relationship into stepping stones.
