The Relationship Handbook

My favorite author and friend Dr. George Pransky has written a book that is in my mind a paradigm shift. It is filled with a simple thought provoking philosophy that people might pass it off as to Polyandrous, but each time my level of well-being goes up and I re-read The Relationship Handbook the more I hang on every word,  knowing that what he writes is so true.

George points out that innocently it is our ego’s along with a dose of negative, fearful, distracting thoughts that cause us to become incredibly insecure and this insecurity ultimately tears apart not only are marriages but our relationships too. This book gives us a glimpse into our mind’s eye and pulls back the curtain as to how our thoughts are killing our relationships and keeping us at bay from experiencing the intimacy and satisfaction that we truly desire.

I realized I had been caught up in a vicious circle: my dissatisfaction had motivated me to search for greener pastures and that search was the source of my dissatisfaction.

These insights opened my mind to a different view of life. I couldn’t believe how much mental energy I had spent on considering options, planning, second guessing, regretting and doubting. I had never before noticed my extraneous thinking. Now, it was all I saw; it grabbed my attention constantly, and I wondered how I had ever gotten anything done with all that distraction. -George on his own relationship

If you want to fall in love, stay in love and deepen your love over the years I encourage you to purchase this fantastic book The Relationship Handbook.
