Feed the Tiger, Free the Dragon by Gillian Harper is a transformative guide that redefines how we view relationships—romantic and otherwise—through the lens of energy dynamics. Harper masterfully presents the concept of individuals predominantly embodying either Tiger energy (yin) or Dragon energy (yang) and explores how understanding and balancing these energies can lead to healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

In a culture that often glorifies the hard-charging, goal-oriented Dragon energy, Harper’s book is a refreshing reminder of the importance of acknowledging and valuing the more relationship-focused Tiger energy. Her writing is both insightful and accessible, offering practical advice that is easy to understand and apply in everyday life. Whether you're looking to calm your mind, improve your interactions with others, or reignite the spark in your romantic life, this book has something for everyone.

Harper's honesty and genuine approach shine through as she shares lessons from her own experiences, including the narrative of her broken marriage, to illustrate the power of polarity—the natural law that opposites attract. By embracing your authentic self and understanding the balance between Tiger and Dragon energies, Harper teaches readers how to create more excitement, love, and sexual tension in their relationships.

Feed the Tiger, Free the Dragon is not just about relationships; it’s about living the most fulfilled version of your life. It’s a book you'll find yourself returning to again and again for its wisdom and encouragement to embrace who you truly are while finding happiness in your connections with others.

With FEED THE TIGER, FREE THE DRAGON, Gillian Harper has accomplished the impossible juggling act: presenting a view of relationships -- all relationships, not just romantic -- through the lens of energy. Individuals are predominantly either Tiger energy (often described as "yin") or Dragon energy (often described as "yang"). In a culture that celebrates Dragon energy with its hard-charging, eyes on the prize no matter what else, linear, focused approach, we all lose out when we do not acknowledge our Tiger orientation or the unique and valuable contributions that can only come with the relationship-oriented Tiger attributes present in all. Harper's frank and upbeat, intelligent book is one that I will rely on in every encounter, even with myself. I received a copy of this book and these opinions are my own, unbiased thoughts.
