About this listen
“Dr. Baer explains, with the greatest insight, all levels and depths of every relationship. He’ll change your life.” (Sheila B., Love Rocks, KTL, Houston)
For most of us, dating is often confusing, frustrating, and frightening. We look for the "right person" in bars, at school, at parties, and on Internet dating sites. But what happens when we find the right partner? 60% of marriages end in divorce, and only 1-2% experience the fulfillment both partners once hoped for.
We need much more than another way to meet people. We need to learn how to create the loving and richly rewarding relationships we all want. In Real Love in Dating, you'll learn:
- What we all need most before we can be genuinely happy - Real Love
- What we use as substitutes for Real Love, and how that destroys relationships
- How we behave when we don't feel loved, and how that makes us miserable
- How to find the Real Love that will guarantee lasting and rewarding relationships
- How to find and become the perfect partner
- How to build a great relationship and keep your perfect partner

Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent more than three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust.

Have you ever wondered "Why did I do that?" or "Why can't I just control my behavior?" Others may judge our reactions and think, "What's wrong with that person?" When questioning our emotions, it's easy to place the blame on ourselves; holding ourselves and those around us to an impossible standard. It's time we started asking a different question. Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”

Suddenly finding herself 40 and single, Lori Gottlieb said the unthinkable in her March 2008 article in The Atlantic: Maybe she, and single women everywhere, needed to stop chasing the elusive Prince Charming and instead go for Mr. Good Enough. Looking at her friends' happy marriages to good enough guys who happen to be excellent husbands and fathers, Gottlieb declared it time to reevaluate what we really need in a partner. By looking at everything from culture to biology, in Marry Him, Gottlieb frankly explores the dilemma that so many women today seem to face.

Story
The relentless pursuit of high self-esteem has become a virtual religion - and a tyrannical one at that. Our ultracompetitive culture tells us we need to be constantly above average to feel good about ourselves, but there is always someone more attractive, successful, or intelligent than we are. And even when we do manage to grab hold of high self-esteem for a brief moment, we can't seem to keep it. Our sense of self-worth goes up and down like a ping-pong ball, rising and falling in lockstep with our latest success or failure.

Practical and Vital Guidance to Be Happy
Anyone who is dating or who would consider dating in the future would be hugely benefited by this book. I discovered Greg Baer and the ideas of Real Love a week ago. It is already having a significant positive effect in my life. (I read one of his other books in that time, too.) Some people are put off by the supposed marketing of his other materials in this book. However, having seen some videos and read other books, I believe he is saying that to be efficient. He does not repeat all that material in this book. You really would benefit from learning those other materials (such as the original Real Love book) to skillfully apply these principles.
I believe that the application of the principles he teaches here, though simple and in some ways easy (some ways not), provides a key to happiness and success in relationships and life. I am excited to learn and apply more as I go forward, and excited to share this with friends and family.
P.S. He has very insightful and practical guidelines for how to go about finding a partner, and/or whether to stay in your current relationship, and how to end that relationship if you do leave. Plus much more.

If you are dating this is a must read!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Definitely, this book gave me a good perspective! Everyone should know about real love.
What other book might you compare Real Love in Dating to and why?
For more broader view on this subject I recommend reading Mastery Of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz.
What does Greg Baer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

An excellent book by an excellent teacher. 😊
My second read/listen of this book. I first met Greg in his Phoenix seminar in mid 2005 and have read/listened to several of his books, including Real Love, his foundational book. In this book on dating Greg is as passionate and loving as ever. I've had the pleasure of seeing him in person in at least two events since 2005 and I've always been convinced that he stands as tall as and is as committed to unconditional love as were great men like Carl Rogers and Carl Jung. Further, he practices Real Love with everyone with whom I've seen him come in contact, including in his marriage to his loving wife Donna. By organizing many Real Love groups, by creating many forms of media and by speaking at least 1400 times on radio and TV, Greg has been a Loving Force for humanity and will surely be appropriately recognized as such.

Realizing recently that I want love in my life but don't know how to love well. This book was so helpful in clarifying where to find love, when and where not to find or expect it, and how to grow and become someone who can give love well. A great listen, highly recommend it.

Trying to sell his other books too much
There is a lot of good content in this book, but my only complaint is that he references his other book about 40 times and invites us to buy it instead of just talking about the content that’s in that book.

Eyes opened
Audible made this so enjoyable! I could drive, do laundry and other things while I was having my eyes opened to things I had never thought of, yet made so much sense. If the other isn't able to give real love, it's just a matter of time, before our world crashes. I am now better able to see what traits to steer clear of. Happy with who I am, looking for someone else who is happy with who they are.
