On today's show I am speaking to award winning consultant psychiatrist, broadcaster and best selling author Dr Raj Persaud! We dive into the psychology behind seduction and the research behind his book "Simply Irresistible: The Psychology of Seduction" and "How to Catch and Keep Your Perfect Partner". Dr Raj shares his views on happiness and science-backed advice for how to create the best setting for a successful date. I enjoyed our conversation as he busts myths, challenges strategy when it comes to dating and drops a few good quotes along the way too!A little bit about the NOT PERFECT podcast. Thank you for reading this and thank you for being here. The intention for this podcast is to share conversations on the subjects that can nurture our life from the inside. Just like physical exercise takes work and commitment, I believe our emotional health requires the same attention. Life throws curve balls unexpectedly and these can feel much more manageable when we know more about our mind. I hope these episodes are helpful in sharing tools, tips and insights into our brilliant hardware that can feel faulty but always fixable.
