Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Inconsistent
Review: After telling us that "loving yourself" is the key to happiness, the author then tells us that "we can not make it alone......I need to see my worth and beauty reflected in your eyes." p.24. This puts people right back where they were, addicted to others. Sure, human beings fundamentally need other people, but only after becoming secure without them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best of the best
Review: If we human beings ever had a manual, this is the one to use to guide ourselves, I think there are a lot of other books relating to the matter, but this the only one we will ever need.

I'm not easily impressed, I have read a lot in my life, from religous to esoteric, and this is "The Book".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent - all couples and couples to be should read!
Review: The author has wonderful insight on not only how to make a relationship with another person - whether it be a spouse, lover, parent, sibling or friend - work, but also how to love the most difficult person to love - yourself. It is hard to put this book down once you pick it up; it is well-written and flows nicely. It helped me through a difficult breakup and was instrumental in guiding me to self-love and acceptance. A must-read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Should be required reading
Review: This book is awesome and should be required reading for everyone. Yes, it's written by a priest, but the 'religious' references are minimal and don't in any way detract from the message of the book - unless you choose to let them do so. I've given many to friends and will continue to do so ... very powerful message, yet easy to read, understand and apply the principles. An immeasurable gift to give to yourself or to others.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A moving and simple philosophy
Review: This is a beautiful and simply written book. If you can get over the bad 70s photography and book jacket design, I think you'll find a lot worth celebrating in this quick read. It goes down easily, like comfort food. Powell's writing style is gentle and nurturing. I've read and re-read this book, underlining particularly insightful passages each time I read. It's a book you'll pick up and loan out again and again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Keeping a relationship alive is a continuous challenge
Review: This is one of the better books on communication and building and keeping relationships alive. In this busy world we have created we need to be more creative in our relationships. John Powell has put together steps that lead to a more accepting and non-judgmental way of life. First and foremost we need to spend time in solitude and silence and listen to our own inner world. We cannot reach out to others to form a relationship if we are not in touch with ourselves. We will have nothing important to offer one another unless we become aware of our feelings, our thoughts, our spirit. We will offer nothing to a relationship except opinions, beliefs etc. Listening with an open mind and heart is the way to the secret of staying in love. Another exceptional author on this subject is John A. Sanford and his books: Between People: Communicating One on One and The Invisible Partners: How the Male and Female in Each of Us Affects Our Relationships.
