the truth an uncomfortable book about relationships

In the dance of infatuation we see others not as they are, but as a projection of who we want them to be. Where there’s reactivity, there’s a wound. You realize pretty quickly that they were more fun to imagine. Perhaps that’s the price of making your fantasies a reality. All you can do is work to get as close as possible to the impossible. But maybe expecting to have it all the deepest intimacy, and the most unrestrained lust is an unrealistic quest like expecting a human being to be perfect. In this community they want us to control our hearts so our bodies can connect. In the sex addition community, they wanted us to control our bodies so our hearts could connect. Unspoken expectations are premeditated resentments. With that being said, I found these to be the most meaningful quotes from The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships by Neil Strauss. I’m pretty sure these quotes are all accurate to the word, but if any small inaccuracies (spelling, grammar, etc.) slipped through they are the result of me having to manually transcribe these while listening. Here are some of the best quotes I heard while listening to this book.

Most of the advice in this book is still excellent, but given this fact you should definitely be a critical reader and not take everything presented as being, well… “The Truth” 😉 Quotes One thing I would note, however, is that Neil Strauss did get a divorce a few years after writing this book. On the other hand, The Truth is more concerned about healing childhood traumas, exploring different types of relationships, and choosing which relationships are best for your long-term happiness. The Game taught young man how to approach and start relationships with women. In 2005 Neil Strauss released The Game, a book that provided a look into the lives of pick artists (PUAs).
