The Truth

An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships

By: Neil Strauss

Narrated by: Neil Strauss

No more games; it's time for the truth. I am not the hero in this tale. I am the villain.

Do you believe in monogamy? Neil Strauss didn't. The New York Times journalist made a name for himself advocating freedom, sex and opportunity as author of The Game - with intimacy and long-term commitment taking a backseat.

That is until he met the woman who forced him to ask the questions that men and women are asking themselves every day: Is it natural to be faithful to one person for life? Do alternatives to monogamy lead to better relationships and greater happiness? Can you keep passion and romance from fading over time?

Strauss set out on a quest for answers. It took him from Viagra-laden free-love orgies to sex addiction clinics, from cutting-edge science labs to modern-day harems and, most terrifying of all, to his own mother and his family's secrets. What he discovered changed everything he knew about love, sex, relationships and, ultimately, himself. The Truth may have the same effect on you.

Brave

It takes great courage to be so open and honest. The story is gripping and raw.

The breakup book

This book got me through my breakup.
A breakup following my first long term relationship.
This is the breakup book.

Not ANOTHER PUA book.

A great book for relationship Enlightenment. (IF you have the stomach for this kind of Enlightenment).

I loved every moment

This book is written in such true and honestly it makes it even better to read. Well written

It's all about his issues

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

The book just spoke about Neil's personal issues that he went through. There was nothing to gain from a readers perspective on how to manage their relationships.
