Dating is such a fraught situation. After attending several Zen Buddhist meditation retreats over the past few years, I began to wonder if perhaps there was a spiritual path to dating. And then, grabbed by its title, I found this book on OVERSTOCK. It's especially relevant right now as so many of us let computers do our choosing, matching us up on superficial factors instead of following our own heart's deep true wisdom. This week I laughed to see the headline about a 106-year-old woman still seeking 'the one' -- but truth be told, dating is almost always with us, like death and taxes. The author is a Buddhist, a Quaker, a therapist, and a raft of other good things which give her a cogent sense of spiritual balance. Without being pushy or preachy, she gently guides readers to articulate what inner qualities they seek in a partner, and pinpoints the pluses and minuses in searching for a spiritual counterpart. Well, this book has taught me there's more to life than cute, witty boys who make girls cry --just maybe there might be an alternative for someone like me, until now in love with heartbreak, hopelessly single, and married to my cat. Perhaps even that Desperately-Seeking-Soulmate centenarian would benefit from this book, which provides perspective on how to date mindfully and free yourself of all that past baggage and future worry. Ommmmm!

Excellent book - I have all of the books and love to re-read. Great value from Overstock.com. Highly recommend all the books by C. Kasl.
