Publisher's Synopsis
Among the most sought-after dreams of most people is to find their soulmate. But how can they make it happen? What really forges lasting intimacy? Is the soulmate search just a game of chance--or worse, an illusion? Not at all. In The Love Compatibility Book, psychologists Edward Hoffman and Marcella Bakur Weiner offer a new perspective and method, enabling everyone to achieve true intimacy.
Based on the latest personality findings and drawing on the seminal work of Abraham Maslow, their approach highlights the 12 key traits that underlie all romantic compatibility, including emotional intensity, libido, view of life, materialism, and need for companionship. These traits are based on a new view of the human personality, one that acknowledges the unique blend of attitudes, needs, motivations, and physical and emotional traits that make up the individual. The closer the match between partners on the Big 12, the greater the joyful bond. Entertaining stories illustrate the various traits and combinations. With simple, fun, and easy-to-score quizzes and self-tests, readers gain the crucial knowledge about themselves to find their personal Prince Charming or Aphrodite; not a generic soulmate --but one meant just for them.
