Product Description
Review
"Original, honest, and profound, this book offers a powerful new message for love and intimacy in the nineties and beyond. Read it, and your relationships will never be the same again." -- "John Gray, Author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are froom Venus" "Few writers who explore contemporary love as a sacred path do so as lyrically, as deeply, and as cogently as John Welwood. In his beautifully rendered new book Love and Awakening, Welwood examines human relationship at that unique juncture where psychology and spirituality meet." -- "Body Mind Spirit" "Welwood has combined Eastern philosophy with Western teachings in previous bestsellers and here turns to long-term intimacy as the most spiritual teacher in life.... Welwood welcomes us to the magic of our innermost nature as reflected in the gaze and soul of the beloved." -- "San Francisco Chronicle"
Product Description
Combining practical advice (like that of Harville Hendrix) with spiritual teachings (like those of Thomas Moore), John Welwood, psychotherapist and author of the bestselling "Journey of the Heart," creates an extraordinary new book about the sacred power of intimate relationships.

Format:Paperback
This is a very valuable book - not just for those in relationships - but for anyone interested in the path of personal development. Welwood writes lucidly and with authority: therapeutic and spiritual concepts and practices are clearly and accessibly presented. This book usefully develops the ideas outlined in Welwood's earlier Journey of the Heart. The inclusion of 'dialogues' gives readers an insight into the experiences of people Welwood has worked with - and this provides a very helpful practical model for readers wishing to explore their own lives in similar ways. Based in solid scholarship, but designed for the lay-reader, I heartily recommend this book to all who are interested in the 'warrior work' of looking into one's own heart.

This book is a life-changing event
17 Nov 2000
Format:Paperback
To say that Love and Awakening changed my life is an understatement. I found this book so moving that sometimes I could only read a few pages before I needed to stop and catch my breath. I truly believe that this book has the potential to change the lives of those who take its message to heart. Reading this book was like looking in a mirror. I've always known what the author writes about, but never had the exact words for it. I have a background in psychology and have read and studied spiritual matters all my life, but I've never read a book that spoke so personally to me, and was such a clear and powerful synthesis of psychology, spirituality, and East/West concerns.This book--along with John Welwood's other book, Journey of the Heart, has been the most powerful teacher on relationship (both to myself and to others)I have yet encounterd. It is an awesome book of heart and profound sensitivity, and has had an enormous impact on my life.

Beautiful sequel to Journey of the Heart.
1 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback
Welwood has crafted a masterful book. Although he expands on the material he presented in his previous book Journey of the Heart, this book can be read by itself. Journey of the Heart was like a roadmap of the terrain of intimate relationships. Love and Awakening provides dialogue from some of Welwood's clients rediscovering their personal authenticity in relationship. There are also brief sections throughout the book narrating a quality or observation about relationship that are truly stunning in its poetic clarity. It perfectly echos the truths we all know deep in our hearts. His section on the "Broken-Hearted Warrior" is the most poignant, eloquent and beautiful passage about the path of intimate relationship I have ever read. The real power and magic of this book is that it does not prescribe cures like a doctor towards a patient. It gently guides us to our own center, our own being and provides tools for awakening greater awareness.
