Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent 'soul' reference
Review: Excellent insight and reflection into the mystery of soul. Insights gleaned by Moore lead you on your own personal journey and reflection of your soul and its relationships. Frees you from the to-do-lists of self helpism and let your imagination and creativity lead you to a natural healing. A must read for people bound by conventional relationships and yet yearning for soulful connections.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Moore offers imagination, not fixed templates: refreshing!
Review: Finally a book on love and relationship that doesn't pretend to have all the answers. Instead of beating the reader over the head with step-by-step programs or offering pat answers to the mysteries of relationship (like so many have done before him), Moore gently weaves a web of possibilities, hope, self-empowerment, and acceptance of the paradoxical. Deep at times; read it and savor it over and over again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spellbinding
Review: I broke up with my boyfriend about 2 weeks ago, and began spiralling downhill until I reached the point where life just got on top of me, from the breakup to day to day stress. My ex gave me this book, only noting a single passage. I read it over and over again, and liking what I read, began the book. I have been fixated upon it for the past 3 days, letting everything sink in, and devouring all this food for thought. I finished it today, and I plan to purchase my own copy. Moore's compassionate, gentle yet persuasive words have a way of reaching out and making a firm solid point in one's mind. He speaks the truth, and though I might not agree with precisely everything he says, I found the book incredibly deep and inviting, and look forward to indulging in it once again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved it!
Review: I love this book. It has helped me get through many trying times. I now collect copies to give to people who I think could benefit from reading the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's worth your time.
Review: IÕm glad that I had grabbed Soul Mates off the shelf along with about four other self-help books that I purchased at the same time.

S/M has helped me understand (or given a new perspective on) all relationships -- from spousal to neighbors to co-workers to friendships and family. Thomas Moore says that we should appreciate the complexities and mysteries that come with all relationships.

S/M doesnÕt offer any concrete step-by-step advice for solving relationship problems. Instead, Mr. Moore explains that every relationship is different and that everyday problems on the surface may have a deeper hidden meaning. And with this in mind, by not immediately relieving ourselves from what it is that is bothering us at the moment we may be able to understand what it is that is really troubling us if we give ourselves the time.

S/M is a great book if you are looking to better yourself, improve existing relationships, and gain insight on all relationships and life in general. I reccomend it and I believe it can help everyone understand themselves and others. --Douglas

Summary: What is Romance?
Review: If you have ever been in a situation in life as a result of love and relationships that have left you feeling like the cover picture of this book i.e. a boat navigating stormy waters, then this book is your guide. Many of the real life examples Mr. Moore uses involves married couples, but I, a single woman, still found much needed direction at a time in my life in which "soul" was powerfully exerting itself in my life that left me totally bewildered. His thought provoking and socially nonconforming ideas about marriage and sex, particularly, have given me new hope in pursuing love and relationships again.

Summary: I've seen a soulmate in my dream.
Review: In my dream, I have a soulmate whom I love. He has the purest soul that I have ever seen. Myriads of stars are blinking and pouring out from the dark night sky. I've never been a happier life than it in my reincarnation.

Summary: For Lovers of the soul, this is a must
Review: Moore's writings once again prove to be one of the most effective contemporary antidotes to the blinding literalism, mind-numbing religious ideology, cheap moralisms, New Age silliness and Icarian spirituality that pervade so much of American society. His musings hold the tension between the traditionalist and iconoclast, an alchemy that only a true majus can achieve. Like all his works, Soul Mates is a welcome respite from the overly efficient, productive, mechanical and therapeutic language that finally stifles rich imagination and extinguishes the life of the soul. In much of the book, his own self-confessed Artemisian nature lies deftly hidden amongst the undercurrents of his reflections.

Moore's essential theme is that change takes place not through consious effort but by subtle shifts in the imagination. You will certainly feel your imagination stretched through the many Greek myths, stories, poetry, Renaissance philosophy and his own "outrageous failures and follies."

For people who finds themselves as "pursued" or as the "pursuer", Moore's insights into the Daphne myth will provide for much rumination and fantasy. And if it's the "magic" that has been lost, the Native American Cochiti story is pure soul food. Learn of the erotic idea of love as a "menage a trois", and of Moore's surprising and hilarious 'threesome' at an art exhibition.

Moore's genius is being able to take the raw material of life and sift, separate, turn, and mash it until it becomes pure alchemical gold. It might just strike a vein in your own soul!
