 - Best Book on RelationshipsHands down, the best book written on how to have a great relationship and how to rescue one that is falling apart. It will help you figure out if you want to stay in your relationship and if this person is for you. It will help you understand youself better and what you do to sabotage your relatonships. Dr phil gets right down to the nitty gritty. The relationship myths and relationship values are something everyone should read. I was impressed how this book helped me in my 23rd year of marriage. It saved me from divorce. Rating:  - Relationship changesThis book is full of ideas and concepts to improving your relationship. To really benefit from this book you need to be able to want to change yourself not just the other person. Can be a great experience for the reader for moving forward in the right direction for your relationship. Rating:  - I hope this book can help othersI purchased this book, because I wanted to learn what it takes to make a marriage last. I grew up in a home of multiple divorces and my husband grew up in a home with very unhappy marriage that turned to divorce. So, if we learn how to love from what we see, these experiences would make my husband and I relationship retarded. I had high high hopes for this book(I love Dr Phil's show), but when I continued to read and answer questions I could not help to think when is this book going to get to something that is going to help me, or change the way I relate to others. It never came. I apparently answered all the fill in the blank questions wrong. Whenever I went to evaluate them the things I wrote down had 100% nothing to do with what the question should have triggered in me. Maybe I am too far from normalcy for this book's seemingly narrow confines, to assist me. Rating: - He says it all...and then some!This was the best book I ever read on relationships. Whether you are in a bad relationship or good one, this book gives you insight into your own defects as a partner. It also helps you define your assets as well. I bought this book when I got engaged and it really did help me learn about me and what I value in relationships. It is a must read if you seriously want to be a better partner and have a good relationship! Dr. Phil never disappoints! Rating: - Great book, Poor toneDr. McGraw has written an excellent book that I often recommend to my couples' who can't get unstuck from blaming. There is very little in it that I disagree with. It's basic premise is that if you want to change your relationship, stop pointing the finger at your partner and look at the three fingers pointing back at you. My major concern is that the tone in which the book is written is, ironically, very blaming and lecturing. It's kind of: "If you want your relationship to get better you better listen to me right now." If your relationship is in desparate straights and you can overlook his tone, the information and ideas he communicates are really quite helpful. In association with Amazon.com | |
