Summary: For specific audiences only
Review: I learned at least (!) two powerful lessons from this book. The first is that, if I do not have the relationship I desire, it is probably because *I* am pushing it away with a conflicting value. For example, I may desire intimacy on one hand, but desire to avoid rejection on the other. So when intimacy becomes a possibility, I unconsciously push it away to avoid rejection. This truth helped me see that I am not powerless or entirely dependent on fate to bring me a partner - there are steps I can take to maximize the possiblity of finding the right person. The chapter on spirituality and sex was very powerful as well. Well worth reading for anyone who suffers singleness or is afraid of being divorced.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Common Sense of Love
Review: I've read all of Joan's works and I find them and her to be "on point" with regard to human relationships--be they intimate or familial. The temptation is to negate Ms. Gatuso's findings because he doesn't mention any "professional" credentials (whatever those are). The fact that most find the book too artistic is (by and large) a justification for the books existence. If there is anyone looking for simple ways of finding the love that is inside each of us (without the expense of therapy or prescription drugs) this book is a must read. Indeed, you will find it so useful that you will want to read it more than once.

Summary: My favorite book on relationships with myself and others
Review: Joan Gattuso's book "A Course in Love"is the best book on relationships I have read . The book deals basicly with finding a spiritual base for the relationship with ourselves, clearing out all the blocks to our own good, forgiving our past , and taking full responsibility for our lives. Sounds like other spiritual books on relationships? In many ways ,most new thought books like this one , do ask the reader to assume the responsibility for what occurs in his/her life. I like Joan's book because she gives the explicit tools to accomplish all of the above.She incorporates many mystical traditions , Sufi, ACourse in Miracles, Unity and many more to remind one of their spiritual inheritance. I do feel, one has to be ready and open to this understanding ,and willing to do the work she has laid out in the book. The spiritually hearty will welcome this book.The forgiveness techniques, the opening the heart meditations,and the 10% of the pyramid clearing are a few of the reasons I continually workwith the book. I am now ordering it for my daughter. Thankyou Joan, for this wonderful reminder.

Summary: NEW AGE RELATIONSHIPS
Review: Read "a course in miracles" as a prerequisite to this book. "A course in miracles" is a dusty 19th century folk-art/religious cult of Millard and Myrtle Fillmore,a typical pre-Freudian, highly artistic interperatation of Man and God. Joan's book is no less pre-Freudian, and certainly less dusty. New age writers have no proffesional credentials other than their lofty artistic impression of man's (and, ahem..., womans) divine nature. Don't bother with this one.
