Reconnecting: A Self-Coaching Solution to Revive Your Love Life

by Joseph J. Luciani

Book Overview

There's no doubt about it: every conflict in every relationship involves two people with two different perceptions, and every solution requires two partners to arrive at a single shared perception. You can't repair a damaged relationship by yourself, and you can't change your partner into someone else. Does that mean the situation is hopeless? Absolutely not

RELATIONSHIP SAVED!

Great Book! I am in a relationship right now that was very volatile and unproductive, until I read Dr. Joe's Master Pieces on how to solve most if not all of the menial problems that were contributing to the failure of this union. Really saved it. I am happy to report that we are engaged and getting married in the fall of 2010. Thank you

The Marraige I Might Never Have Had

I had been trying to get my wife to go to therapy to try to combat our constant bickering and fighting ... with no luck. After reading Reconnecting, I found ways to approach our relationship I never could have pictured fitting into. I had always had the notion that things would be fixed "one day" -- when we decided it was time -- and went to therapy. Without her willingness to seek therapy, and without the tools to change anything myself, I was certain things would continue to deteriorate and possibly end before they ever truly began. Enter ... 'Reconnecting'. It's been about a month since I read it cover-to-cover in a sitting. Each page spoke of truths that made me shiver; realizing the world would keep moving forward as-is no matter what, unless I took responsibility to be the catalyst for change. I followed the maxims and used some of the thought exercises from the book to put an end to my apathy, and to CREATE the relationship I have always envisioned having since I was a little boy! Now, with the Self-Coaching format for change, I feel emotionally empowered and have a proven method to deal with any issues that might come up in the marriage I might never have had.

a relationship MUST

At first I was a tad skeptical.. I was thinking another relationship book.... In the past all I ever wanted to do was throw them at my partner - use them as a weapon!! LOL I was so taken in... Not surprised as I have read DR Joe's previous books and have used them as a tool in my day to day... This book offer the self coaching component that works wonders.... I also find his analogies very interesting.... For example, " Humans are like computers!" To bad we can't simply just delete the cookies.... There are also many quizzes in the book that give you a benchmark as to where you & your partner are at on many levels... If you are serious about saving your relationship and saving yourself... I recommend this book. Thank you DR Joe...

Reconnecting

Having had the good fortune of reading the complete selection of Dr. Luciani's books on self coaching, I had no doubt "Reconnecting" would be one of his finest works. And of course I was delighted to discover this was true. Like all of Luciani's books, they are amazingly easy to read and quite difficult to put down. I couldn't wait for the release of his new book, nor could I not read the whole book as soon as it arrived in the mail. In my marriage of over 17 years, I felt my spouse and I had a "pretty good" relationship. Alas! Joseph Luciani, in his new book, addressed many things about that relationship that I either had forgotten, didn't know, or through complacency, became indifferent. And like all Luciani's books, he incorporates a few simple worksheets, and simple self quizzes throughout, to better help vizualize, in concrete fashion, where certain areas of my behavior have allowed my relationship to become stale, old, and, at times boring. Luciani's metaphorical approach and brilliant connectivity of the emotional and physical balance necessary in order to achieve a successful relationship of any kind, was particularly gratifying, and I suggest that if you read "Reconnecting" before, during, or after any relationship, you will benefit profoundly. It is a must read.
