Dr. Gordon Livingston-a physician of the human heart, a philosopher of human psychology-offers an urgently needed meditation on who best (and who bestnot) to love. As in his previous books, Dr. Livingston demonstrates an unerring sense of what is important, providing readers with a much-needed alternative to the trial-and-error learning that makes wisdom such an expensive commodity.

“Good-natured and homily-filled…Livingston does have some plainspoken, sensible ideas about love and relationships. The best part of his book is the middle, in which he enumerates the virtues of ‘People to Cherish’…Worthwhile for many readers.”
