About the Course

“True love — I mean gooey, kissy-face, rip-snorting love of the romantic type poets sang and wrote about long ago — does exist.” So wrote a man who rekindled a romance after 30 years, on a questionnaire created by psychologist Nancy Kalish, Ph.D., to study people who loved each other, parted, and then tried to renew their relationship years later.

Now, after two years of research and more than 1,000 respondents, she shares her findings about why rekindled romances work — and what to do if you’d like to try to rekindle yours. Included are intensely romantic accounts in the lovers’ own words, detailing happy endings despite decades of separation, geographical distance, and family or personal upheavals.


Ever wonder what might happen if you rediscovered that “special someone” who captured your heart way back when? The 1,001 people who participated in Dr. Nancy Kalish’s renowned Lost Love Project did exactly that — and they prove the timeless power of rekindled love.

This course is based on the book, Lost Found Lovers: Facts and Fantasies of Rekindled Romances created by Nancy Kalish, Ph.D.
