Product Description

Every relationship has its challenges, but now there’s an exciting new way for you to figure out how to make any relationship work. In What’s Your Dosha, Baby?, Lisa Marie Coffey has applied the ancient Indian healing system of Ayurveda to modern-day relationships for a fun and effective approach to gauging your compatibility with lovers, friends, coworkers, and family and navigating all the pitfalls you may encounter. After taking a simple quiz to determine your dosha—one of three personality types based on physical features and personality traits—as well as the dosha of anyone else you know, you’ll learn all about:

• Your physical and emotional communication styles
• Your instinctual preferences regarding food, travel, and lifestyle
• Which careers you gravitate toward and your strengths and weaknesses in the workplace
• Ways to decorate your home to help you feel more balanced and content
• How to handle different dosha parenting styles
• Fun ways to spice up your sex life, enhance intimacy, and much more

Whether you’re searching for ways to end the squabbling with your mate, resolve a conflict with your boss, or get the man or woman of your dreams to commit, What’s Your Dosha, Baby? holds the key to finding true happiness and achieving great success in life, love, and relationships.

5.0 out of 5 stars MOST FUN RELATIONSHIP GUIDE EVER, October 17, 2004
By A Reader (Northwest, USA) - See all my reviews
Who would have thought that the ancient Vedic health science system from India could give rise to a highly effective and hip Western guide to creating successful, harmonious, and exciting relationships!

WHAT'S YOUR DOSHA, BABY? does that and more. Take the quiz and learn your dosha. Take the quiz and learn about the dosha of your significant other. Bring greater harmony and joy to your relationship than you could have dreamed. The principles apply across the board - business relationships, the sister you never quite understood, the relationship patterns you'd like to do differently and with more satisfaction.

I'm giving this book to everyone on my holiday list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining book on Aurveda!, October 5, 2004
By Sonal P. Patel (CAMBRIDGE, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am an Indian by origin. But, had no background or knowledge about Aurveda. This book, written by an American Author, who has also written many other wonderful books, introduced me to some basic concepts of Aurveday in American style! I enjoyed reading this book. Also, the website associate with this book was very useful and complements this book.

If you are reading this book, I would recommend that you first visit the website, whatisyourdosha.com and take the quiz to find out your dosha. I would recommend this book to anyone, who is curious to get some exposure to Aurveda and its concepts. It is a light reading. But, after reading this book, you may be inspired to do more serious reading on Aurveda, by some Indian masters. If you are very new to Aurveda, like me, this should be your first book.

The author of this book also has a new website doshamatch.com. Some of you may like to visit this site after learning all about your dosha from this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ayurveda for the Western World, May 7, 2004
By Inez Castor (Crescent City, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Whether you're interested in relating to new people in your life, your mate, your coworkers or your children, Lisa Marie Coffey's primer on Ayurveda can help you understand and nourish relationships.

Her grounding in the material is obviously the solid result of long study, and her writing is warm and accessible. As a long-time student of Ayurveda, I find her description of me so accurate it's a bit unsettling.

In "What's Your Dosha, Baby" you'll find everything from techniques to calm an irritated boss to the best form of exercise for your individual body/mind type. I highly recommend this book, and will be giving it to friends on gift-giving occasions.
