THE BOOK
Chinese wisdom for dating success.
I didn’t set out to write a dating book. I set out to share what I’d learned—from my grandmother, my mother, and 35 years of helping accomplished people find love—in a way that made sense for the world we live in today. At the heart of Ancient Wisdom, Modern Love are chengyu: classical Chinese sayings that offer surprisingly powerful guidance for modern relationships.
