How Knowing Yourself Can Help You Navigate Dating, Hookups, and Love
There is a glut of articles out there on love and relationships that ask the same questions: Is my relationship stable? How do I communicate my sexual desires to my partner? How do I develop and maintain a healthy relationship? Everyone’s asking the questions, but no one is giving young women the skills to work out the answers that are right for them. Until now.
Psychology professor Joanne Davila, PhD and co-author Kaycee Lashman give thought-provoking answers to these questions and the scientific data to back those answers up in The Thinking Girl’s Guide to the Right Guy: How Knowing Yourself Can Help You Navigate Dating, Hookups, and Love [The Guilford Press]. Whatever that “healthy relationship” looks like – a drama-free, friends-with-benefits arrangement or a long-lasting, loving commitment – The Thinking Girls Guide to the Right Guy helps girls develop practical skills to become happier with their romantic and sexual partnerships. The book provides and in-depth exploration of relationship dynamics and how girls (and others) can develop and learn the vocabulary of healthy relationships.
