When it comes to searching for “The One,” seasoned matchmaker Leora Hoffman cautions against feverishly aspiring to Hollywood’s depiction of instant chemistry, courtship, and deep, abiding love. In fact, she has witnessed some of the best, most fulfilling relationships work out after an initial period of uncertainty.
For more than 35 years, Hoffman’s sole intention has been to help others find love. Boundaries between her personal and professional life, however, made it seemingly more difficult for her to meet “The One.” In this heartfelt testimony, she shares not only her personal journey but also stories of clients she successfully matched, tried to match and coached along the way.
Hoffman’s comprehensive, sometimes counterintuitive, approach to matchmaking has led to some truly remarkable success stories. Discover how to break free from destructive relationship patterns as she reveals some very personal yet universal struggles all couples face when navigating life’s challenges and turns 21st-century dating on its head. Hoffman’s infectious bravado will have you laughing, crying and coming back for more.
Hollywood’s depiction of instant chemistry, courtship, and deep, abiding love is a notion that pervades our culture. As a result, hopeless romantics fervently aspire to be swept away by love. But it doesn’t always happen that way. If I have learned anything, it is that the magic of love can emerge in a myriad of ways. In fact, some of the best, most fulfilling relationships start out quite differently. —Leora Hoffman, Author
