The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships

Neil Strauss

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 back seat. That is, until he met the woman who forced him ask the questions that men and women are asking themselves every day: is it natural to be faithful to one person for life? How can you keep passion and romance from fading over time? Will alternatives to monogamy lead to better relationships and greater happiness? Strauss set out on a four-year quest for answers. This journey took him from free-love orgies to sex addiction clinics, from cutting-edge science labs to modern-day harems, and, most terrifying of all, to his mother, as he attempted to rewrite the rules of love, sex, and relationships. What he discovered changed everything he knew about himself, and about the way men and women live with and without each other. He would never be the same again. The game of love may have the same effect on you.
