MANHATTAN, N.Y. - ColoradoDesk -- Phil Russotti, author and distinguished New York trial attorney, released his latest book, The Essential Rules of Love in February of this year.  Russotti is donating all proceeds from the book to the NYU Cancer Center in honor of his late wife Susan, who he lost to ovarian cancer in 2017.

The Essential Rules of Love: A Practical Guide to Creating a Harmonious, Healthy, and Happy Relationship, distills love and relationships into their component parts, including psychological, chemical, neuroscientific, and evolutionary factors from both a functional and pragmatic approach.  It was named a runner-up in the "How-To" category of the New York Book Festival and a runner-up in the San Francisco book awards.

Russotti has been a distinguished trial attorney in New York City for more than 40 years, concentrating on medical malpractice. In his career, he has mastered new subjects, usually in the sciences, through reading, research, and speaking with experts. In preparation for writing The Essential Rules of Love, he transitioned these adept research abilities to the subject of love and relationships.

"My ten-year relationship with my late wife, Susan, helped me discover what was needed to make a relationship work successfully, following two prior marriages that ended in divorce. After Susan passed away in 2017, I applied those abilities and life experience to the subject of love and relationships to write this book."   -Phil Russotti

The book is available for purchase on Phil's website, and all large online retailers.
