Kasl brings a compassionate understanding to the anxiety and uneasiness of new love, and helps readers discover their potential for vibrant human connection based on awareness, kindness, and honesty.

Filled with quotations from Zen, Sufi, and other wisdom traditions, and informed by the experiences of people from all walks of life, here is a relationship book that will appeal to readers looking for more than a Venus-meets-Mars solution to the complex affairs of the heart.(less)
Well we all know that the buddha before enlightenment, was married with a wife and a son, before his later 30 years or so of celibacy (Wikipedia). But I think he would have even enjoyed reading this book by Charlotte Kasl.
I enjoyed the book and have it in my spiritual library. I used it to find a mate in my previous relationship. Too bad I didn't take any of her advise.
Kasl gives you good sound advise for staying connected to your center and she's well above the other dating books when it comes to equalizing the perceived gender role imbalances in relationships between men and women.
She draws from buddhist and sufism as well as other spiritual philosophies.
Take a look at it. But get it from your local library before you decide to purchase. I'd recommend that with any book.
Peace and Blessings,
