Summary: The Next Step for your relationships
Comment: This book is great! It is easy to read and easy to apply in everyday life.

It explains in easy to understand terms the dynamics of relationships and the healing that needs to take place. It provides a roadmap to take the journey to healing.

This book made me think. Part of the time light bulbs were going off as I realized how simply how I felt was explained. And the other part of the time I was seeing how to make my own relationship work. Both my romantic relationship and my relationship with myself.

It's clear the authors have lived their work and it will work.

Summary: A must for personal empowerment
Comment: This book transcends all: age, gender, ethnicity, economics, politics and religion. This book fits all! WHY? I. It is easy to read. It presents short sections that the reader can follow easily. It is easy to stop and easy to get back into the next segment; most sections have titles encapsulating the main message. II. It is interesting, not monotonous in that there is an attractive balance of new material or teaching text, descriptive anecdotes or vignettes as well as clear examples that the reader can identify with. The one that touched me profoundly was the one about monarch butterflies. As parents we have all been there (if we paid attention to our children's feelings & experiences). III. The book flows: one concept links to the next. One of the greatest appeals for me is the stepping stones or the chapter reviews. This material is priceless since in a couple of pages, at the most, the authors present the essence of the material in a clear and concise fashion.

IV. These stepping-stones could inspire 1) fascinating art projects (like before & after enlightenment), 2) children's books, 3) week-end retreats, 4) the development of life's teaching tools and 5) can become a rich source of materials for people/families/classrooms/church groups or any other group to study, discuss, illustrate and basically absorb and apply to their personal daily life. V. One technique a day keeps the soul(and soul-mate)happy! VI. This is the type of book that can be read & re-read and always be pertinent. One can read the same line & view it differently the second/third time as one goes on with new experiences. VII. This book is a must in every one's personal home library.

Summary: Getting Smart About Love
Comment: Francell and Winter havecrystalized the wisdom andexperiences from their Heart Seminars. They lucidly describe how present-day overreactions are effects of feelings repressed in childhood.A new insight reveals thatthese old emotions are triggered not only becauseof stress, but especially because of the safe environment provided by the intimate relationship itself, by the security of being in love.The authors present anddescribe numerous techniques for couples to help and support each other, when personal, individual "stuff" is released by thesituations of their lives.Although written with anemphasis on men in committed relationships, the exercises work for women also.The book provides coupleswith tools to heal pastemotional wounds and thusdeepen their attachment toeach other. They learn newrelationship skills thatfew of us learned from ourfamilies or from earlysocial interactions.
