Mindful loving

Henry Grayson

Penguin, Mar 1, 2004 - Family & Relationships - 288 pages

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Henry Grayson shares his breakthrough techniques for creating deeper and more lasting connections with our loved ones.
Henry Grayson, a psychologist, relationship counselor, psychoanalyst, and former minister who has been working with couples and individuals to improve their relationships for over thirty years, has found that most people are actually more unhappy after marriage counseling or couples therapy. In Mindful Loving he sets aside the traditional methods of therapy to show you how to look at your relationships from a completely different perspective. By getting to the root of our relationship problems, which stem from our thoughts and beliefs and mistaken ideas about our own identities, Grayson creates a whole new framework—one where psychology, spirituality, and science meet—in which to view intimacy.

Wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but a worthwhile read for anyone interested in relationships, our roles within the relationship and our interconnectedness.

User Review  - Ed Bierman - Goodreads

Had some great things to say about how not to try to change someone to fit your perception of who you want another person to be.... got a bit repetitive at times.
