A MUST READ When I first saw the title of Maryanne's new book Hindsight: What You Need to Know Before You Drop Your Drawers, I was immediately drawn to one of the most important of all inquiries that anyone could ever make, What the heck do you NEED to know before you drop your drawers? She cleverly and dramatically illustrates that when you charge forward into intimate relations without first asking a few simple questions, you are guaranteed not only to have your heart broken, but you may destroy or even lose your life. Her stories (which are incredibly funny and treacherous) illustrated her 6 tools so clearly that I could not help using these tools in everyday life as well as in the area of partnership. Initially, I had purchased this book for my 22-year-old daughter who was having some trouble in the dating area, but soon found that the wisdom behind Maryanne's compelling style was as useful to me as it was going to be to my daughter. It turned out to be perfect for both of us and I highly recommend it to ANYONE planning to be physically and emotionally intimate. It could save your life! --Michael R. San Francisco

Mythology can cause pathology--especially the rut stories we've been taught to tell ourselves that keep us doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Maryanne's book offers a wise hand to drag us out of the woods where we are lost trying to get the love we most need to give to ourselves. She offers us practices that we can use daily so we can learn to BE the love that is who we really are. --Dawna Markova, Ph.D. author Random Acts of Kindness, I Will Not Die an Unlived Life, Spot of Grace, Wide Open
