Informative and well needed

This was an eye-opening, thought provoking book that should be required reading by everyone. It forced me into a whole new level of self awareness about my previous relationships and the one I'm maintaining now. The ideas are lucid and observant. It changed my perspective on love and relationships for the better. Thank you for the time and thought in writing this magnificent piece of work.....!!!

A Great Book for Relationships Neophytes and Veterans

I highly recommend this book for ANYONE considering getting into a relationship, already in a relationship or recovering from a failed relationship. Not only does it comprehensively explore issues and problems in relationships, it clearly defines what exactly "love" is and what it truly means to love someone; for it is more than an emotion, it is consistency, deed and action. This book not only helps you learn about your own personality and character flaws, it shows you how to recognize them in others and how to transform your own personal shortcomings into proactive, productive approaches internally and within the context of a healthy relationship. There is such a thing as "false love." Where do you stand?
