What this book is

"Women were the doorway, not the destination."

This is the story of what it took to learn the difference — the heartbreak, the hunger, the fumbling, the breakthroughs. All of it. Everything in this book happened.

Prologue

"

I didn't become whole by conquering desire. I became whole by learning how to feel — without fleeing, performing, or numbing.

— Chasing Her, Author's Note

"This memoir is honest in a way that costs something. You can feel it on every page. I felt seen in a way no self-help book has ever managed."

"A strikingly intimate exploration about what it means to flounder in the search for love. This book is a portal into parts of the male psyche, few men are vulnerable enough to share"

"Oh my God Balwin! I couldn’t stop reading this. It’s exactly what is really happening. Everyone needs to read it! But I didn’t like the tantra part, did you have to write that?”

— Balwin's Mom

I'm Balwin, the guy inside this book, now a writer and coach. It took me years of wreckage to learn about the fire of desire and how to skillfully navigate it. My memoir chasing Her tells that story, unfiltered. These days I guide people through the same terrain — faster, and with a lot less bleeding.
