Publisher's summary

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.

Great Perspective!

Helps a lot to move past snake oil thought processes and view it in a objective manner. I've been sharing this with everyone I know. Thank you!

Enlightening and Useful

Very enlightening theories and perspectives. Super useful to understand some of the difficult relationship challenges between men and women. I'm very glad that I discovered this book through Dr. Orion's YouTube videos. I'm going to listen to this book again and recommend it to friends who are either considering new relationships or struggling in existing relationships.

This guy does not disappoint. This book should be required reading for human beings.

Points are clearly explained and complex issues are made understandable. If you’ve enjoyed his videos you’ll love this book.

Cognitively dense and ultimately nutritious

The depth and density of this book is daunting, but ultimately worth the time needed to sometimes rewind over and over again for certain sections or to refocus intensely to GET what is being said sufficiently to move onto the next section. I’m gonna let this one stew for a while before making another run through

Love this!

It was not an easy read, as I could barely grasp the sharp ideas, but thinking through them was a truly eye-opening experience.

One of the best books I’ve ever read

This book is life changing and it took me two listens to grasp all the ideas in it. I highly recommend it.

Even If You've Listened to Every Episode of PsycHacks, There is a TON of New Material

Fantastic book with some deep material and themes. His final main conclusion (which I don't agree with) made me think of some sci-fi novels, such as The End of Eternity, where marriage is a contract for a set amount of time rather than a life-long commitment.

I really appreciate the view from an economic standpoint.

After reading several books in this genre, this is now my first recommendation to share with others.
