Summary: "This Book is a Gem"
Review: After reading the book "Working on Yourself Doesn't
Work" by Ariel & Shya Kane, I knew I wanted more. I
was really happy when I learned their second book
"Working on Your Relationship Doesn't Work" was
released. I certainly wasn't disappointed, this book
is a gem. This book is easy to read, fun, and profound. I
related to all of the stories and people in the book.
My favorite chapter in the book is "How You Do
Anything is How You do Everything". I had never quite
looked at my life this way. After reading this book I feel like I have a new way
of looking at relationship and that a "Magical
Relationship" is with in my
grasp.

Summary: 10 Stars for this Outstanding Work!! by Dr. Maryel McKinley
Review: After reviewing the Kanes' first best-seller "Working on Yourself Doesn't Work," for Awareness Magazine, I was so impressed that it seemed impossible they could come up with something even greater - but happily, they have surpassed their own brilliance with their newest masterpiece, "Working on Your Relationship Doesn't Work." The simple, yet profound wisdom that is contained in this book will truly change the way you experience relationships, and is unprecedented by any other relationship genre book this reviewer has ever come across. As a relationships counselor myself, I found many amazing ways to help my clients, as well as the relationships in my own personal life, including my relationship with myself. The transforming information this book contains cuts through old ideas and past beliefs that we tend to focus on, and allows us to enter into an almost alchemical transformation into the here and now. Years of therapy cannot touch what the Kanes can do in minutes. It's all about getting down to the truth, observing in a non-judgmental way, and learning to be honest in the present tense. As the Kanes invite you into the magical world of their individual consulting sessions and seminars, you will hear about true case stories where people have made remarkable changes in their relationships. You will discover the key elements that will take your relationships out of the ordinary and mundane, and sky rocket them into the realm of the miraculous - instantaneously! Once again, this reviewer gives the Kanes 10 stars for this outstanding work.

Summary: Not what I expected....
Review: I bought this book because of the grand reviews on Amazon but was sadly disappointed. I feel that the whole point of personal growth is to "work on yourself". There is no easy way out eventhough I thought I would get a break from doing that by reading this book.I hope that people reading this will question some of the other reviews and not rush into buying something that sounds too good to be true. Thanks for taking the time to read this and good luck.

Summary: I didn't get it
Review: Making your relationships better by not working on them?? The emperor has no clothes. I read and re-read the keys to self improvement without effort. I enjoyed the seminar discussions but didn't find the information applicable or practical. I much preferred the Five Languages of Love by Gary Chapman. Both books came as a special set from Amazon. I can recommend that book.

Summary: Self-Realization / Magic-Relationship Creation
Review: The wisdom in "Working on Your Relationships Doesn't Work" has truly transformed my relationship with myself as well as my relationship with my partner, my family, my friends and my co-workers. This book provides tools to view life through a lens of non-judgmental awareness. The Kanes have a profound way of sharing simple and easy steps to obtain and live life through an enlightened state which is accessible right now. I have found that once I quit working on myself, I stopped working on my partner, and the magic of our love has flourished in this new found state of being. If you find that you are one who works on yourself as well as your partner, in hopes of changing yourself or them for the better, this book provides freedom from old, non-constructive behavioral patterns and reveals steps that lead you to living life in the magic of now. My relationship with myself is a loving one as I observe myself through the non-judgement, anthropological lens that the Kanes suggest in their book. And as I love myself through this new found lens, my love for myself, my partner, my family and my friends has been expansive beyond my imagination.

Summary: This is it!
Review: Working on Your Relationship Doesn't Work is a must read! If you are looking to have great, loving, and fun relationships with yourself, as well as a love relationship, and haven't found it yet, read this book. It opened doors to possibilities that I didn't know existed. The more I pick it up to read, the more I see who I am. I especially enjoyed the way the authors, Ariel and Shya Kane, shared the key elements to miraculous relationships through short stories and excerpts from their seminars. This made it easy for me to see how these elements relate to my life. I highly recommend Working on Your Relationship Doesn't Work!

Summary: Applies Present Moment philosphy to relationships - unique
Review: Working on Your Relationship Doesn't Work takes a different approach to transforming a relationship or creating a "magical" new one. While there are several books available now on how to live in the present moment and so transform your life, this one takes on a different application of that principle by examining how it applies to relationships. Of course the authors start where all good relationship books should start - examine your self first. A relationship involves both people and that means your self.
Using three principles of transformation they seek to show how people can bring about change in their lives and their relationships. One of the most important points they make is that your relationship with your self determines your relationship with others. Some of the other points they examine are recognizing and dealing with your hidden agendas, completing your relationship with your parents, realizing that you are not the story of your life, the art of listening, and choosing to be alive.
This is a well-written book with lots of positive self-affirming directions and is the first of the self-help books about living in the moment that effectively tackles the problem of relationships. Working on Your Relationship Doesn't Work is a highly recommended book with an unfortunate title that doesn't encourage picking it up off the shelf and reading it.
