I have found this book and other books by this author extremely helpful. I have been married for one year and I credit Dr. Campbell’s philosophy and what I learned from these books as a big part of why my marriage is so rich, intimate, and satisfying. That said, this approach takes a great deal of courage. It is not for the faint of heart. For those willing to risk being truly open, however, the rewards are exceptional.

When you date in the traditional manner–trying to manage outcomes and get people to like you–you are left living or dating in fear, wondering when you are going to be ‘found out’ and the love will be lost. Gay Hendricks presents the alternative, one that only some people have discovered on their own.
I read Truth in Dating after reading Getting Real most of Brad Blanton’s books on Radical Honesty. I found this book to be the best of the genre because it artfully disperses theory, practice, and examples in a format that is easy to digest and relate to.

Truth in Dating is written in a lively, easy to read manner. In the book Susan Campbell identifies each of the practices required to prompt relationships to deeper levels of authenticity. Eager for the next practical hints, I couldn’t put it down.
A must read for anyone, not just singles, who wants to use their relationships to become a person of greater integrity.

When I first met my partner almost 15 years ago, she and I practiced some of the ideas which Susan writes about in this book. We were very clear and upfront with each other about what we wanted and our secrets. The foundation of honesty we laid on our first date has been very reliable for us for all these years.
I like how Susan presents an approach to dating that is quite different from conventional wisdom and people’s old habits when getting to know a new person. Dating without thinking we have to calculate our every move can be so much more relaxing and fulfilling!
I also want to comment on a review here that stated that this book is a book written by a women for women, not men. My experience, as a guy, is that this book speaks to me very strongly.
I have a close friend, who is also a guy, and he frequently tells me that this book has completely changed his approach to dating and has made a huge difference for him. Women, in my experience, like men who are real and transparent. It is a great relief for them. Susan’s work can be a great guide for us men as well!
