Black men, white women: Great books about self discovery

Black men and white women looking for a relationship often get disappointed when their dating does not lead to more meaningful connections. Or they get disappointed when they end up with one wrong person after the other. If you also feel that you want to date black men or white women -or anyone else really!- but something blocks you from forming healthy bonds, maybe it is time for some self exploration. We cannot share our lives with others in a deeper level, if we are not connected with our own self first. That's why we have compiled a list of books that will help men and women alike discover themselves. If you know your strengths and weaknesses, if you know your wants and needs, you can work towards becoming a better person, having a better confidence and also searching for a partner that you really deserve.

Art Doodle Love: A Journal of Self-Discovery

This journal guide by Dawn DeVries Sokol is the key to discover your creative self. This journal is full of ideas about ways to record your memories, thoughts, fears and hopes. It is ideal for people who find it hard to record their daily life in a linear way, using only text, as it encourages the reader/writer to use images, doodles, cut-outs etc. It is a great way to record your stream of consciousness and revisit it later on, to discover deeper truths about yourself.

Of course, if you have specific issues to deal with, like addiction, loss, sexual abuse, low self esteem etc, you can find many specialized self-help books that will guide you through the darker places of your life and help you be in peace with yourself. And that is such a great start for healthy dating!
