Love Now!: Untangling Relationships - Jan Harrell

Love Now! will change your life. -John Austin, host of The Book Club radio program, Florida \n\n \n \n\n Love Now! is beautifully written with such gentle humor and real and accessible clarity. This book offers straightforward tools for developing deeper intimacy in our relationships. -Lesley Ann Warren, Academy-Award nominated actress \n\n \n \n\n \nWe are not born knowing how to do relationships - we have to learn. We have to learn about ourselves and our own reactions so we can translate that self-knowledge into positive action in a relationship. The issues that arise in every relationship are not problems that must be avoided. They alert us that we have the opportunity to increase our understanding of ourselves and others.\n \n \n\n \nNever having been schooled in the world of emotions, it is easy to feel frightened and overwhelmed when we run into an experience we do not understand and do not know how to handle. We mistakenly think these learning opportunities are problems. We think something is wrong, either with our own Self or with the Other.\n \n \n\n \nRelationships are the school for our adult developmental task to deepen our knowledge about ourselves and about emotions. Without this knowledge, we feel desperate and hopeless, misinterpreting ignorance as failure.\n \n \n\n \nThe information in Love Now! is so powerful that readers can immediately begin to step away from the caustic snare of angry accusations and raging arguments. Love Now! gets to the root of the issues in relationships.\n \n \n\n \nReal change requires that we not only know something, but that we become it. Love Now! guides the reader to deep internalization of concepts that can lead to transformation, not just behavioral change and adaptation\n \n \n\n
