The Value of Others: Understanding the Economic Model of Relationships to Get (and Keep) More of What You Want in the Sexual Marketplace

In this book, Dr. Orion Taraban presents an economic model of relationships, highlighting how the perception of value is central to human coupling.

The book delves into the often uncomfortable truths about the transactional nature of relationships, arguing that people seek to secure relationships with their perceived best options by exchanging value.

Taraban's approach is provocative, forcing readers to confront the unspoken aspects of their internal worlds and the nature of self-awareness and otherness.

The book is both enlightening and disturbing, inviting readers to question the value they assign to themselves and others, and redefining intimacy as the bravery to be vulnerable in the face of deep fears and desires.
