Summary: Five Stars!
Review: Dr. Johnson guides you in your search for answers about relationships by making you look at yourself and the decisions you have made, and why it is you make those decisions. I found this book to be very helpful and professional. Unlike most relationship books, I feel as though you can truly apply what you take away from the book to your own life and relationship.

Summary: A starter book on relationships
Review: I'm curious who the intended audience is for this book. I see it as an entry-level book on relationships. Overall, the author understands relationship dynamics and can clearly articulate his opinions. His perspective, however, sometimes seems simplistic and his assumptions lack basis. An example from the book: "My colleagues and I often discuss transference, but I doubt that you've ever even heard the word before. It's actually a fairly complicated topic..." I laughed when I read that. Most of the people I know are familiar with transference and could easily explain it. More depth and less verbiage would have helped. I had to start skimming the book to keep my interest. Maybe the author just needed a good editor. He could have easily covered the same material in 200 pages, and someone needed to question his perspective.

Summary: Better than Dr. Drew on Loveline....
Review: I've always heard Kelly Johnson on his radio show Private Lives on B96 in Chicago. He answered one of my relationship questions on air one time, and gave me relationship advice that got me out of a really bad relationship. If you're anything like me, you'll never go to a therapist for help - so this book is the next best thing. My husband and I found it easy to read and it helped our relationship - and my husband isn't one to try therapy in the least! Thanks Dr. Kelly!
