Book Description

February 14, 2006
If you are single and seeking your life partner, this is the only book you need

Today there are more single people than ever in history. Over 40 percent of our adult population is single and most of them want to meet their perfect mate. But dating has its drawbacks and really doesn't work anymore as a way to find relationship happiness, says David Steele, marriage and family therapist, founder of the Relationship Coaching Institute (the first and largest relationship coach training organization) and author of the new book Conscious Dating; Finding the love of your life in today’s world. We want to be happy in relationships, but don't know how. The old way of dating and mating simply doesn't work anymore, says Steele, the rules have changed and most of us don'’t know what the new rules are. In searching for love, most singles are using trial and error, flying by the seat of their pants, or following bad advice. This is not just another dating book filled with tired ideas about how to get a man or woman. Conscious Dating provides relationship information and strategies proven and tested with thousands of singles worldwide from a pioneering leader in the field of relationships. It does not offer manipulative or deceptive practices that compromise who you are, in fact it helps singles celebrate who they are and see being single as an opportunity and not a disease. This groundbreaking new book starts by looking at fourteen dating traps and why dating doesn't work. Then author David Steele delves into the ten principles for conscious dating and how any single can go from dating disaster to dating success! Conscious Dating is destined to change the way you view dating, relationships and, most importantly, yourself. Who are you? What do you want? How can you get what you really want in your life and relationships? Packed with tips, quizzes, personal stories and real world advice, David Steele shows you how to take a proactive role, perhaps for the first time in your life, so that you can find the love of your life and the life that you love.

Editorial Reviews

Review

David Steele has made a significant contribution to the world of relationships by mapping two previously foreign countries- consciousness and dating, bringing them together at last in this customized guide. Packed with practical strategies that really work, Conscious Dating is THE book for helping singles navigate the dating world. --Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks, authors of Conscious Loving and the new Spirit-Centered Relationships

In Conscious Dating, David Steele provides a new concept for dating and insightful advice, effective exercises and useful illustrations that will help anyone who uses them make their journey to love successful. We recommend this book to anyone looking for love. --Harville Hendrix, Ph. D. and Helen LaKelly, Hunt, Ph. D.

Unconscious dating can lead to disaster. Given the serious effect of relationships gone awry, Conscious Dating is a must-read for singles who want to make better relationship choices. David Steele provides sound guidance and practical advice for today s singles. --Pat Love, Ed.D., author of Hot Monogamy and The Truth About Love

About the Author

It happened for me, it can happen for you! David Steele, MA, is the founder of the Relationship Coaching Institute and a pioneer in working with singles. He has trained hundreds of coaches and therapists and helped thousands of singles and couples get what they want in relationships. His book, Conscious Dating, will show you precisely how to get what you want in your own life. Steele, a family therapist, spent over twenty-five years trying to mend marriages while trying to make his own relationships work. Married and divorced twice— and the father of twin boys and a daughter— he has learned from his own personal as well as professional experiences. As Steele founded the Relationship Coaching Institute, he met the love of his life. Today, having met and married his soul mate in 2008, he wants to show you how to succeed. In one of the most useful dating books you will ever read, Steele brings insight, compassion, and most importantly, a wealth of knowledge gathered working with clients on their relationships. He gives you step-by-step practical advice, and uses his own stories of trial and error as well as the singles he has coached, —to show you how to find the love of your life and the life that you love. Are you still dreaming about finding the love of your life? If so, start reading Conscious Dating, today. Easy to read, Steele's great exercises will leave you wondering why no one has ever written about this before. This book provides you with sound guidance for making your own customized relationship plan. With over two decades of working with men and women on relationship issues, no one is more qualified to address the pitfalls and opportunities of dating than David Steele.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's not what the author says so much as how he says it., February 19, 2006
This review is from: Conscious Dating: Finding the Love of Your Life & The Life That You Love (Paperback)
This book contains two absolutely marvelous concepts that really grabbed me. The big one was "Be The Chooser." It's not a new idea, but it was phrased in a way that helped me understand, very simply and solidly, exactly what it means to be proactive in looking for a good relationship. Another one was the clear explanation of the difference between dating for relationship practice, dating to find a life partner, and the big mistake of "dating to mate." and how to tell which you're doing and which you should be doing.

Other than that, this book isn't all THAT new and different. After all, there aren't many relationship books that have something genuinely new to say. But it is approachable, accessible, and totally reassuring, which is a huge plus in a universe of how-to-find-love books that start with the assumption that if you're still single, there's something wrong with you that needs to be fixed. Thank goodness for a book that starts with the assumption that it's perfectly fine not to be racing down the aisle with the first likely suspect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Book; Terrific Balance Between High Concept and Practical Techinque, February 7, 2006
This review is from: Conscious Dating: Finding the Love of Your Life & The Life That You Love (Paperback)

This is the book the dating world has been waiting for. A book that really asks you to answer the simple question - 'what are you looking for in a relationship?' Then the book takes you through helpful tips and insights to help you discover and anchor those needs, wants and requirements.

Many other dating/relationship books fall into two categories - simple tips/tricks to get dates, or inner search material that's so high minded you're still left a little confused.

After reading this book, men and women alike should be able to assess where they are in their relationship life-stage (recreational dating, in the midst of a 'mini-marriage,' looking for a life partner), and be clear on what they need and seek from a partner - now and in the future.

While the book has a section on approaching potential partners, detailed support material in this area (scripted approaching techniques, field-tested ice breakers, etc.) are probably best left to relationship coaches, done through sites like mine and others.

What this book will provide is a foundational framework to ensure future relationship success.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you're dating or thinking about dating, this is a "Must Have!", February 15, 2006
By 
This review is from: Conscious Dating: Finding the Love of Your Life & The Life That You Love (Paperback)
David Steele has written what ought to become a benchmark in its field. Practical, proactive, easy-to-read and jargon free, David Steele helps his readers learn how to identify the kind of people they want to be with, how to weed out bad matches before asking for or accepting a date, and how to become really, really CLEAR about the kind of life partner relationship they want to grow.

This is a book that I recommend to all of my clients who are dating or planning on dating at some time in the future. You can tell that David Steele, MA, founder of the Relationship Coaching Institute is a relationship coach, because he's darned good at it.

If you don't have this book, buy it; you'll be happy that you did.
