Hands Off!: This May Be Love

Hands Off! This May Be Love, by Gila Manolson, is written from the heart and goes to the heart of readers. After decades of speaking with and to young (and not so young) people, Gila reveals scientific and psychological evidence about the power of physical touch and how prematurely introducing that power into a relationship can sabotage true and lasting love. This enjoyable book, full of anecdotes, provides surprising and thought-provoking ideas and also offers encouragement for doing what is both right and effective rather than what is popular. It is difficult to think of anyone who doesn't need to read this book, whether to better their own life or the life of someone they love.
