Review Quotes:
Dr. Marie Thouin's not just a researcher, she's a philosopher. In her remarkable new book, What Is Compersion?, Thouin unlocks the transformative potential of the simple act of noticing how the joy you can receive from your partner's delight can empower you in so many ways, serving to disempower jealousy and territoriality. Thouin's research demonstrates how the world could look from the point of view of compersion, and how taking joy in your partner's (or friend's or relations of any kind's) happiness can bring joy to you in all of your relationships.
If you are a seeker of sexual freedom and clean love, as I hope you are, for heaven's sake read this book. And then go shine the light of compersion on your lovers, friends, family, and everyone you care about.
