Journey of the Heart: The Path of Conscious Love

A leading psychotherapist offers advice for couples on using love's challenges to grow as individuals and in their relationships. John Welwood shows people how the most difficult and confusing areas of relationships can be used to awaken the deepest human strengths and resources.

Where can we go to find serious and informed reflection on the turbulent and confused waters beneath our search for intimacy, our deep human need for a life companion, a soul-mate, a lover? I have found such a place, in the pages of John Welwood's new book, Journey of the Heart. Alongside so much simplistic nonsense written about relationships, this book stands out as a poetically-written, wisdom-filled guide to a deeper understanding of the desires and directions of the human heart. How rare and satisfying it is to find such a book, which takes seriously the reader's desire for truth and light in the perplexing area of intimate relationships.

How to Be an Adult in Relationships: The Five Keys to Mindful Loving

originally sought books to help me get over a man in my life that is still IN my life, but not committed to me. We are the classic "friends with benefits" only he's benefiting more than I am...much more. This book has reinforced in a HUGE way what I already knew but chose to ignore. It teaches us how change IS scary...even if it's healthy change. It's scary because it's what we become to know and feel comfortable with after awhile. It reaches deep into the psyche and shows why we stay in relationships that aren't so healthy. It connects us to our childhood, but not in a crutching sort of manner like some readings which "blame" our current choices all on childhood incidences, but rather shows us why we possibly make some of the decisions that we do.

You won't be disappointed in this book. I had to force myself to put it down and sleep. I read it in two days. I underlined SO many sections that applied to me. This book is a lifetime keeper!!! Get one for you or someone close to you if you feel they need to make some changes in the way they choose relationships in their lives. You (or them) will be happy you did!!!

One warning...It's very truthful. Sometimes when you hear something you dont like, it can have a profound effect. I cried reading this book several times because it talked about my life...my thought processes and my feelings when choosing and staying with a partner.
