2018年，Vex King和美妝Youtuber Kaushal結婚，在戀愛的過程中，他開始思索在現代社會，感情關係的開始、建立與維繫為何變得如此困難，有些人身陷有毒的情感裡卻不敢結束，有些人則尋尋覓覓卻總是失落。他發現，其實回歸根本，要從了解自己開始。

◎經營、維繫與告別：建立與培養正向與充滿正念(Mindfulness)的關係；以及一段無法繼續的關係，該如何正確結束

◎培養內在，體會真愛：在長久的感情關係裡，彼此該如何持續成長與進步

Beloved spiritual teacher Vex King follows up his international bestseller Good Vibes, Good Life with this essential guide to building meaningful, mindful, and loving relationships.

It is nearly impossible to build healthy, sustainable bonds with others without first having a good relationship with yourself. To get along with others, we often alter our habits or subsume our unique personalities. By trying to transform or suppress our true selves, we erode our self-worth and self-knowledge. We begin to lose sight of who we really are and what we truly want. When are self-understanding and self-confidence are damaged, it ultimately hurts our relationships.

Humans are social animals. In this wise and transformative book, Vex King helps us find and sustain the connections we want with ourselves and others. Good relationships begin with loving ourselves and recognizing our own desires and needs. This self-discovery allows our best selves to radiate with confidence and to attract and choose partners—romantic and platonic—who are truly compatible. When we feel comfortable in our own skin, we are able to give and receive love without being blocked by the destructive emotions and past trauma that previously held us back and prevented us from forming fulfilling and lasting relationships.

Filled with Vex King’s profound wisdom, thoughtful self-practices, and easy-to adopt-habit builders, this guide opens you up to the love you deserve and shows you how to bring it into your life.
