Dating 101: Understanding The Drives, Behaviours, And Emotions Behind Love

by Chantal Heide

Chantal is once again tackling the subject of love, this time taking on missing links in Sex Ed and filling in the gaps. Her goal: to create a generation of emotionally wise young adults, gifted with insight on how to avoid common relationship pitfalls. By turning to the social sciences Chantal illuminates natural behaviour and shines a light on how today's cultural rules are creating dating mistakes from day 1. Using Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology, and Biology as her foundation, she explains in plain English how to deal with issues people face when entering the dating scene. No topic is off the table in this book as Chantal explains the roots of bullying, when to exchange a first kiss, and even how to deal with sexual misconduct. Knowledge is power. Whether you're a parent who wants the best relationship for their child or a young adult wanting to get it right before you get it wrong, this is the beginner's guide you're looking for when it comes to finding, building and keeping lasting functional love.

this book has some great advice, but also some hard truths that do lean into the whole “boys will be boys” excuse. it’s worth reading, but it was repetitive at times.

Ummm. Ok but nah. I don’t see this working that well unless people get healing and some emotional intelligence. A lot of focus on meditation (like all her books) and cave people practices along with our base natures. There is some good information about how our brains work. Please look into this further from authors with degrees and experience in using this knowledge to help heal and inform people.

It’s a good book if you are looking to improve the relationship with yourself before enter in a new relationship. It’s also teaches you how to heal from a previous one and how to start a new one. I highly recommend.

I read this through once myself, and I'm going to read it aloud with my 12yo daughter this summer. There are a lot of good points made, and I'll use it as a jumping off point to go in deeper on the things I want to teach her.
