The Second Time Around is an educational guide for readers who are looking for a significant and meaningful relationship. Authors Louis Falik and Vera David are both practitioners in the field of psychology and, after losing their spouses to illnesses, have come together to write a book to share their experiences and knowledge.

This enlightening book is based on their own journey but can be used as a tool for anyone who has lost their significant other. The authors dive deep into many topics such as finding intimacy after losing someone, finding your self-worth, the changes we face as we get older, preparing for a new relationship, the differences in lifestyles and much more.

The authors are in the later stages of their lives so they have seen and experienced a lot and that wealth of knowledge is laid out as a roadmap for readers. Older readers will find much of their guidance and advice resonates and make sense. All the advice that is offered in the book is easily understood, pragmatic and actionable, making this a practical guide rather than theoretical ideology.

Even though much of the advice comes from losing someone and venturing out into the world afterward, I feel as though this book would be beneficial to anyone who is in the dating world. For example, I live in an era where internet ghosting is a normal thing. Someone just randomly stops communicating with you without any explanation, answers, or closure and that is usually hard to cope with and move on from. This book will help you understand intimacy and help you pick yourself back up after such disappointment.

The Second Time Around is an informative personal development book that I highly recommend to those who have suffered from loss or disappointment in their intimate lives. The author’s experiences will help readers cope, move on and develop a strong and worthwhile relationship with someone special.
