About this listen

If everyone is looking to secure a relationship with their perceived best option, then the perception of value must be at the heart of human coupling. In this groundbreaking work, psychologist Orion Taraban sets forth his economic model of relationships and exposes the often uncomfortable laws that govern the sexual marketplace. After listening to "The Value of Others," you'll never look at relationships the same way again.

This is the other fundamental work to the Red Pill that was still missing. It's the complete underlying theoretical framework. The two books everybody should read is this one and Rollo Tomassi's "The Rational Male". Orion is reading his own book in the great way we all already know from his excellent podcast. Anybody who is wondering why things are what they are today with relationships and sex: Read this book.( Or listen!)

This resonated so much with me, and as a female, divorced twice, helped to really put things in perspective- both past and future. Excellent writing and reading aloud.

So appropriate in today’s world

I can't recommend this highly enough for anybody wanting to know more about how several black-boxes of intimate relationships work. Definitely a book I will go through several times more.

A different and better angle of dating and relationships.

Phenomenal

Wow. What a book. As a woman in my 60's I learned a lot about stuff I didn't know. The book also articulated and confirmed whst I already knew or suspected. I strongly recommend this to anyone involved in dating, mating and relating. Especially the silver splitters like me who need to catch up on what is really happening out there.
Thankfully in New Zealand, most people I know want to meet locally and face to face.

Confronting and so true

Orion Taraban is gifted with the ability to communicate relationship norms objectively. I laughed at times and felt seen or exposed when he spelled out the motivation for various relationship behaviors. A brilliant book which both men and women should read.

Clear, concise and eloquently presented, Orion's thoughts on this topic have radically transformed my understanding of intersexual dynamics. I look forward to implementing the ideas I have learned here in my life

Groundbreaking

I gave it 5 stars because there are profound take away stories however the truth is pretty dreadful. Sometimes ignorance is bliss!

The truth is depressing
