The Value of Others

Understanding the Economic Model of Relationships to Get (and Keep) More of What You Want in the Sexual Marketplace

De: Orion Taraban

Narrado por: Orion Taraban

If everyone is looking to secure a relationship with their perceived best option, then the perception of value must be at the heart of human coupling. In this groundbreaking work, psychologist Orion Taraban sets forth his economic model of relationships and exposes the often uncomfortable laws that govern the sexual marketplace. After listening to "The Value of Others," you'll never look at relationships the same way again.

Love this!

It was not an easy read, as I could barely grasp the sharp ideas, but thinking through them was a truly eye-opening experience.

Cognitively dense and ultimately nutritious

The depth and density of this book is daunting, but ultimately worth the time needed to sometimes rewind over and over again for certain sections or to refocus intensely to GET what is being said sufficiently to move onto the next section. I’m gonna let this one stew for a while before making another run through

This guy does not disappoint. This book should be required reading for human beings.

Points are clearly explained and complex issues are made understandable. If you’ve enjoyed his videos you’ll love this book.

One of the best books I’ve ever read

This book is life changing and it took me two listens to grasp all the ideas in it. I highly recommend it.

Can you handle the truth?!

This is not your typical “pickup artist” tripe that only covers basic tricks to get a girl into your bedroom.

Far better, this is an academic examination of the entire course of relationships.

If you can handle direct challenges to some of your long-held core assumptions about relationships, you will likely gain deeper insight that will guide you towards better decision making in your present and future relationships.

Do you appreciate mathematically rigorous logical analysis that completely covers the universe of possibilities? Do you enjoy extended analogies? If yes, you’ll love this book.

This book is read by the author, and he has outstanding tone, cadence, annunciation, and emphasis.

It’s at times erudite, poetic, deep, and (maybe unintentionally) laugh out loud funny—especially when bitingly truthful.

I will listen to this twice!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mind-Blowing Information

I wish I had this book when I was in high school. It would have saved me a ton of time and heartache. I love that the author is the narrator, but I wish it had a more conversational tone instead of an analytical one. I think it would appeal to more people if it did. I highly recommend this book and bought the audiobook and will give physical books to my adult children for Christmas. Once you read it, the world of relationships will make a lot more sense.

Perfectly said

Everything in this book is pure honesty and logic based. If you’re sick of being lied to or told mistruths about how you’re supposed to mate and date please read/listen to this book it will clear a lot of the air.

Extremely insightful.

I think Orion is onto something here. I did not expect his views of future relationships right at the very end. But it makes sense. I can see it happening. I recommend this book to both women & men. There are a lot of drawn metaphors, so a little chunky at times to listen to, but the author wraps it up really nicely at the end & it all makes much more sense. If you’re deciding if you should get this book, I say go for it.

Very informative!!

Personally I was introduced to many new concepts that seriously illuminated my understanding of how relationships work.

Even If You've Listened to Every Episode of PsycHacks, There is a TON of New Material

Fantastic book with some deep material and themes. His final main conclusion (which I don't agree with) made me think of some sci-fi novels, such as The End of Eternity, where marriage is a contract for a set amount of time rather than a life-long commitment.
