Excerpt
Dear Reader,
I offer the following chapters to you as if you were my lover. Although you may be single or married, I offer these words to you as I would do my beloved. We may never meet, but I want to give you the opportunity to feel your heart through mine.
For years, I have taught workshops around the world, opening with women and men while they share their deepest heart’s desires. It seems we often come to know ourselves most deeply through the heart of someone who loves us, who is willing to open and see us as we truly are, who is willing to listen and feel our heart’s yearning.
To give and receive love fully—this is our heart’s true desire, yours and mine. The yearning you feel in your heart is the same yearning that everyone feels. By feeling your heart’s yearning through nine, I hope you will come to know yourself more deeply through the many hearts that have opened together in trust and allowed these words to emerge.
All hearts want to open to God, or the boundless flow of divine love. You may or may not be a religious person, and still your heart years to open without bounds, to be seen and to be offered without limits. This is what I mean by “open to God”—to open and feel everything and everyone’s heart as a divine expression of love.
Praise for Dear Lover

Review :
A Few Gems, a Little Kookiness, a Lot of Redundancy
A central question in David Deida's work is: What is sexual love between a man and a woman for? The answer he gives here and elsewhere is that the purpose of sex is to open our bodies and hearts to God, and in fact that sex more than anything else in life is what takes us open to God. "Through entering your heart and body with mine in love's deepest bliss, I open together with you to God."
Deida's distinctive writing style is intuitive and filled with redundancy, so you'll read that message often in this book (which is written as a series of letters from Deida to the reader as his female lover). To me it's attention-getting the first few times he says it but soon becomes mind-numbing. By the end of the book it's enough already!
Still, this book contains some interesting corollaries for women to contemplate. Among them:
* "The secret to unfolding your heart's deepest bliss is to give and receive love fully, with or without a man. . . . You can learn to...
superb book for any couple who wants to live in true harmony and love
'Superior Man' is for men, and an excellent book, but this is the companion volume for women, and gives deep insights into how a true man of integrity is able to and really wants to love the woman in his life. One woman, for this lifetime and even into the next. He writes beautifully and candidly, and each time I read it, I see more and more what I am able to share Tantrically with my partner. We have created bliss on a daily basis through skill, determination, discipline, and above all, love, and this from a man who is by no means easy to live with or love! Or who even thought he knew how to love, all his other relationships had failed so miserably.
Deida's advice about loving each other open to the divine even when 'stuff' gets in the way is one we would all do to remember. After all, what is more sublime than living and being in love-having that 24/7, 365 days a year, always, at every moment, is well worth it, so take the advice offered to heart, read his other books,...
Deida's attempt to write a female version of "The way of the superior man"
Deida has written The Way of the Superior Man for men. In my view, the current book is Deida's attempt to write a similar book for women. The book directed to men deals with life purpose as well as relationship to women. This book only deals with relationships to men. Being male, I can't say how this book resonates with the typical female. So if you are a woman, I would actually mostly look at the reviews written by other women. Having said this, here is my male perspective of the book:
I really liked The Way of the Superior Man (five stars) because it is fast paced and introduce several ideas. The current book is more like the typical self-help book; repetitive and quite unclear when it comes to the ideas. Deida often says that the man can open the woman to God. However, he is not talking about the Christian God and, in fact, it is...
