Author Description

Romance- A Man's Way to His Soul confronts decades-old stereotypes of what it means to be a man, and opens the door for men to discover who they truly are-feeling human beings who can be confident, sincere, vulnerable, powerful, loving, and truly in touch with their masculine energy. Romance, a new book written by psychotherapist Arthur Levy, is about self-exploration and allowing oneself the freedom to experience a romantic life. As Levy explains, "A romantic life is not about buying flowers each day or writing in a journal. Rather it centers on an attitude of delight in all things." Unlike other books for men that espouse a disingenuous way of being, Romance urges men to explore their dreams, release their spirit for adventure, and open themselves up to communicating and connecting more deeply with others. Romance provides an opportunity for men to experience a freedom they have never known. Through twenty-five years of counseling, Levy says, "I have seen and felt the ache, the fear, and the desire in men to open their hearts. I have spent thousands of hours with men individually and in groups sharing, thinking, and working at change." With Romance: A Man's Way to His Soul, Levy provides a guidebook, which begins by taking a look at how men have cut themselves off from their ability to be sensitive, vulnerable, and, most of all, balanced. Through discovering the "romantic life," he shows how men can learn to open their hearts, consider new possibilities, and understand what it means to embrace their masculine energy. Learning to live in a whole way includes the joy of developing an open receptive heart and mind; an attitude of reflective curiosity and inquiry. This attitude IS the new romance. Romance is also a perfect book for women who want to understand men more deeply or wish to help their partner grow into a romantic being.
