About this listen
Women: gain control and confidence in your love lives and find the relationship you want with this modern, life-changing guide from the certified sex educator, intimacy expert, and YouTube personality.
For younger generations, dating is a complicated mystery. Apps like Tinder and Bumble are supposed to foster connection but instead serve as a reminder of how painfully single we are.
Certified sexologist and intimacy coach Shan Boodram - the most sought-after sex educator on the internet - is about to change all that. In this essential how-to guide, she addresses the realities of life today - when the rules of love and attraction are fluid - and teaches a group of young women how to become master daters in just 60 days.
It starts with you. Shan makes clear that love and self-discovery go hand in hand - your dating life is just as much about you as it is about other people. She challenges you to look inside yourself for what you want out of a partner, a relationship, and, most important, yourself. Once you figure out what you want from dating, she shows you exactly how to get it. The Game of Desire empowers you to take the lead, learn your strengths, and identify and correct your weaknesses, all the while getting inspired watching a group of women learn how to succeed in today’s dating pool.
While many books tell women why they can’t get a date, Shan teaches you the skills and techniques necessary to take charge in today’s competitive and often confusing dating scene, providing the tools essential to attract - and retain - the partner(s) you want. From learning love languages to debunking dating myths, she helps women build knowledge and confidence.
Featuring conversational case studies, comprehensive facts about the psychology of sex and romance, and expert insight into sex culture, and written with her trademark humor and charm, The Game of Desire is a must for all of Shan’s fans and for every woman struggling to feel loved and desired.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 100
If a man doesn't take you seriously, he may feel compelled to have a good time with you. Unfortunately this good time will last until you finally realize you're being taken for a ride or until Mr. Time Waster ultimately moves on to a woman he REALLY wants. In cases like this, what a woman really requires are two things: a healthy amount of self-respect and a set of "player-proof" dating rules that will allow her to make wise dating decisions.

Can you have it all? I believe that smart, successful women can have both a great career and a rich, warm, fulfilling love life. See - smart women like yourself were having unfulfilling love lives on an epidemic scale when I was an advisor at Harvard. They either couldn't find the right guy, were with the wrong guy, had relationships that didn't last, or had given up on dating entirely. So I wrote this book to remedy the situation. This is not your grandma's dating guide.

The MANipulator manual. Keep your man interested and begging for more without playing games. So many women get in trouble in their love lives, and 99.9 percent of that trouble could have been avoided if they'd said "Well, f**k him!" a bit more often. Too many women are way too nice and compliant to their men, especially when these men don't deserve that kind of treatment. I, as a dating coach and author of books for women who want to get men, cannot take it anymore.

Perfect blend of science and social.

Amazing !!
I was always a fan because I knew of Shan on social media and YouTube, so she had her chance or warming me up to read a “relationship” or “finding love” based book, which I usually don’t care for. But when I tell you this was an amazing book that I will refer to all my friends who feel like they get the short end of the stick when it comes to finding someone. Not only that but it is very much a self love and respect book as well.
Finally, her voice is amazing, funny and hella entertaining, she tells their story really well and I honestly can’t say she missed anything.
5/5 for sureee !!

Beyond what I expected
I was super excited when Shannon released this book as I am going through self discovery. This book has helped me to discover more about myself and look past my fear of re-entering the dating world with a new found confidence.I am definitely going to be listening to this book again and I am also going to get a hard copy for my book collection. Thank you Shan for this beautiful collection of work as it has empowered me in a way that I don’t even understand myself.

honest and friendly
i liked it a lot. it really shines a light on how in order to make a change in your life you have to first change or enhance something about you. and you cant be sitting on "i am the greatest" if your life doesn't reflect that. it helps you look inside. at least to me it did. i think loads can benefit from this friendly but still very honest approach to looking inside so to have a better not just love life, but life in general.

Life-Changing Read
First of all, this book is more about self-awareness than dating. Shan gives a unique and creative perspective on becoming more whole and living and operating as your truest, best self. We all fill our minds with clutter (and bad dating stories), and this inevitably ripples into other areas of our lives. Yuck vs Yum taught me that HOW I spoke and communicated with my partners was YUCK. We all have unloveable behaviours and this book is a great way to look inward, learn some modern dating tips and tricks!
Shan has a beautiful and quirky way of teaching you who to surround yourself with, how to manifest what you truly desire, and with that becoming a dating expert just comes naturally!
Highly recommended -- also Shan is the BEST narrator and you just can't get enough! I finished the book in 2 days!
