"Extraordinarily good....A saving grace."--Ashley Montagu, author of "Touching
Product Description
As men and women find that they can no longer rely on old roles and formulas to get along, intimate relationships call for a new kind of honesty and awareness, a willingness to let go of old patterns and cultivate new capacities. "Journey of the Heart" shows how we can rise to this challenege by learning to use whatever difficulties we face in relationships as opportunities to expand our sense of who we are and deepen our capacity to connect with others. This is the path of conscious love.

First Sentence
THE SPANISH PHILOSOPHER Ortega y Gasset once wrote that "no land in human topography is less explored than love" If this be so, then the dream of love current in our society-which tells us that finding the right person, falling in love, and settling down together is the ticket to everlasting bliss and security-is like a tourist's approach to this unknown land.

Format:Paperback
This is one of the best books I've read. It has helped me to understand very clearly the dynamics within relationships. It has been groundbreaking to see conflict form a different perspective; as a tool for growth and this has turned my relationships around.

The best book I've read so far about making relationships work. The author shows that every relationship goes through hard times but it is by facing them head on with gentle honesty and openness that things can be resolved. He shows that if we have the courage to be present with both our innermost feelings at difficult times, we actually build a closer bond. It is about looking at self as well as understanding the other. He shows that conscious working at loving produces a stronger, more powerful and satisfactory relationship than a relationship which is only guided by initial attraction or aversion feelings. I very much recommend for anyone who wants to get away from the instant coffee relationship culture.

Format:Paperback
This thought provoking book is one of the best books on relationships I have read. The author's use of real life cases to highlight his points deepens the teaching and keeps the reader engaged. The basic premise of the book is that an intimate relationship is a path, an opportunity to work on the personal issues you came into this world to solve. Contains real life techniques and knowledge you can apply to your life and your relationships.
