Seed's Sketchy Relationship Theories - A Guide to the Perils of Dating: How Not to Become a Bar Regular [Paperback]

If you answered "yes" or "maybe" to any of these questions, or if you are simply not satisfied with your life and the state of the world today, then you need to read this book.

Seed's Sketchy Relationship Theories - A Guide to the Perils of Dating is a funny, raw, passionate, original and somewhat controversial look at the world, life, love and relationships. Seed tackles the most serious issues facing us in our world of relationships today with his unique sense of humor. The message is positive and simple: Take stock of your life and start living.

First off Seed’s Sketchy Guide is “real” and in no way intended to be politically correct. It was never meant to be a social, political or religious commentary on how the world works. But at the same time it would be inappropriate if it did not touch on the way the world is operating at the current time. Without a bit of a commentary on what is going on in the world we would have no understanding of why relationships currently are the way they are. We don’t live in a bubble now do we?

This book is a practical and humorous guide to the perils of dating and relationships. It could quite easily be placed in the Relationship, Self Help, or Comedy Sections of your favorite bookstore. It draws from years of relationship adventures (mistakes) and a lot of fun and confusion (drunken lonely nights). It also uses “most of the time” generalizations which can be confrontational, but if you have the balls to admit it, tough skin and aren’t a sensitive wuss, it will help you make big strides both in your dating and personal lives.

Seed’s Sketchy Guide is ultimately a series of essays on the different aspects of relationships, dating and the world. It represents opinions on the current state of these topics and the chapters may pertain to certain aspects of your life and may be used individually or as a whole to help you gain perspective. It is not necessarily a picture of how we would like the world to be, but more so a reflection of how it is.

Dr. Laurie Betito, a psychologist and sex therapist and host of the radio show "Passion" in Montréal, Canada, gave the following opinion on the book:

"I had the pleasure of interviewing Seed and Euro Seed on my radio program and I found these two gentlemen to be absolutely refreshing. They have a no nonsense, down to earth approach to life and relationships. I think we all need to be confronted at some point, just to shake things up a bit and make us behave differently and hopefully in a healthier manner. That's what their book does."
