Summary: A "MUST READ" For Every Person!
Comment: I highly recommend this book to every person - regardless of age, sex, or relationship status. This is a book that you will read, underline and write in, turn down corners, and use - in your OWN DAILY LIFE. I have certainly done all of this. In addition, I have purchased books for all my children and several friends. This book is a keeper!
David Richo is an author whose writing clarifies exactly what being a "grown up" consists of. He gives specific examples which help us to see ourselves and others more clearly and kindly. We can learn to better appreciate and accept our self and others, give and ask for affection, attend to others more fully and ask for their attention in a way that they can hear us, and live according to our deepest desires while allowing others to do the same. This is far more than a "how to" book, however.
This book gives us the tools to see ourselves as we really are, as well as how others see us. We receive specific recommendations for making the changes we want in ourselves, which fosters change in all of our relationships.
Mostly, this is a book of uplifting and enlightening and very specific information which guides us gently in our quest to live life to the fullest. Living the best possible life in the practical and spiritual sense shown in Richo's writings has the potential to change the world - one person at a time.

Summary: An Inspiration!
Comment: I highly recommend this book. If you are fed up with the unenlightened drone of typical relationship books, then this is the book for you. Topics such as "How to keep your Man/Woman", "The Rules for Dating", "What women/men are really saying" etc will not be found among these easy to read pages. It does not boast a fool proof "12 step method" to becoming an adult in relationships but instead inspires one to take their own personalized steps. Wrapped in its inspiring words I have discovered what love and relationships truly mean for me, and it has become a great resource for becoming a better partner by becoming a more enlightened and peaceful person. Growth of the individual is at the core of this book and I have taken to heart what the author has made available through his well-articulated ideas. I will continue to try to make this mindful philosophy a practicing part of my life.

Summary: Gentle, Wise and Intelligent
Comment: I bought this book in the midst of a breakup I didn't understand, and which saddened me beyond belief. In fact I bought several "relationship" books trying to figure out what was happening; however, this one enriched me the most. My boyfriend ignored all of my requests for a "talk" about what was going on after he decided to end it, despite his claim that it was the best relationship he had. At first I blamed his fears about committment and unwillingness to work through conflict and build a life with a partner, something I thought we both wanted. Reading this book, I came to realize that his desire to end the relationship runs much deeper than "we have to break up because I'm moving," and that his actions are most likely rooted deep in his subconcious, which is telling him that he is unworthy of love. This book also helped me crystalize my own set of motives that I brought to the relationship and helped me see what I did and didn't do based on my own set of values and "issues." There are excercises to help you weed out your patterns in terms of relating to people.
It's written with an incredible amount of insight about the nature of relationships, the partners we pick, the psychological material we bring, and the inevitiable vagaries of what happens when two people are in love. I especially liked that the authors don't "dumb" down the discussion, like so many other books, which address you like you're an eight grader.
I've come to realize that the relationship that's currently dissovling is probably over, as I can't cajole or convince my partner of anything. This book helped me see that we're at two different places in our capacity to give and receive love--and it's FINE for it to be that way. In this way, I've found the peace in my heart to let him go with love, acceptance, and compassion so that he can continue on his own heroic journey that he's mapped out for himself--even if he's chosen to do it alone. In short, this book gave me some of the understanding and relief that I was seeking and helped me accept that the relationship will end without anything being resolved--hard to accept but necessary to move on. Highly recommended--for both gay and straghts--and I know my next relationship will be better because of my having read this book.
