Neale Donald Walsch on Relationships

by Neale Donald Walsch

We are all involved in relationships. Indeed, we are all in relationship with everything and everyone, all of the time. We have a relationship with ourselves, with our family, with our environment, with our work, with each other. Everything that we know and experience about ourselves, we understand within the context created by our relationships. For this reason, relationships are sacred--all relationships. And somewhere within the deepest reaches of our heart and soul, we know it. That is why we yearn so for relationships--and for relationships of meaning. It is also, no doubt, why we have such trouble with them. At some level, we must be very clear how much is at stake. Yet it is possible to have joyful relationships, and the extraordinary insights in the Conversations with God books show us how. Neale Donald Walsch on Relationships is inspirational, humorous, and practical. Neale examines the patterns that hinder our ability to build and maintain successful relationships; teaches us to move beyond restrictive ways of relating; and explores different types of relationships--with God, with self, with others--demonstrating how they all affect and enhance each other. If you want help in understanding relationships, here is a usable, powerful--and entertaining--key to opening the door to awareness.

About the author

Neale Donald Walsch is a modern day spiritual messenger whose words continue to touch the world in profound ways. With an early interest in religion and a deeply felt connection to spirituality, Neale spent the majority of his life thriving professionally, yet searching for spiritual meaning before beginning his now famous conversation with God. His With God series of books has been translated into 34 languages, touching millions of lives and inspiring important changes in their day-to-day lives.

In addition to authoring the renowned With God series, Neale has published 16 other works, as well as a number of video and audio programs. Available throughout the world, each of the CwG dialogue books has made the New York Times Bestseller list, Conversations with God-Book 1 occupying that list for over two and half years.

The With God Series has redefined God and shifted spiritual paradigms around the globe. In order to deal with the enormous response to his writings, Neale created the Conversations with God Foundation, a non-profit educational organization dedicated to inspiring the world to help itself move from violence to peace, from confusion to clarity, and from anger to love.

Neale's work has taken him from the steps of Macchu Picchu in Peru to the steps of the Shinto shrines of Japan, from Red Square in Moscow to St. Peters Square in Vatican City to Tiananmen Square in China. And everywhere he has gone-from South Africa to Norway, Croatia to The Netherlands, the streets of Zurich to the streets of Seoul, Neale has found a hunger among the people to find a new way to live, at last, in peace and harmony, and he has sought to bring people a new understanding of life and of God which would allow them to experience that."

This is a kind of book which I read in a hurry, I feel like this is a holy grail and it solves everything... but the application is not that easy.
Some thoughts are really novel and insightful, such as I should not say no to my partner or my children - the new love sentence is: "As you wish". That, however, does not include controlling me. And that is a tricky part :)
Naomi Aldort has several similar thoughts in her books on raising kids. And I think those could really make a difference for all of us. But if it was that easy, all of us would have done that a long time ago :)
Anyway, this book makes me feel everything is very easy and clear. Even if it is not for long, it is still worth it :) The book says it all in 100 pages.

Mooi boekje, vol mooie bespiegelingen. Walsch geeft een ‘nieuwe’ definitie van relaties en legt uit waarom het voor ons, mensen, zo moeilijk is om die aan te gaan en goed te houden. Terwijl ze de kroon op de schepping zouden moeten/kunnen zijn. Ik kan alles wat hij zegt goed volgen. Ik zou het fantastisch vinden om deze manier van met elkaar omgaan in praktijk te brengen. Maar ik zie het in mezelf, in alles en iedereen om me heen, hoe moeilijk dat is. In het boekje vind ik wel veel inspiratie daartoe!

This book made me realize so much information, having a relationship, is not just to see what you can take out from it, is more of what you can give and empower one another. Grow as a human being with whoever is with you and experience. Everyone has there way of thinking and we are free to do so. That and your will are the only things that can't be taken away from you.

I highly recommend this book who would like to understand any type of relationships. Not only romantically, but every type.

Most of what I read in this book I had already listened to before in one of Neale's recordings of his workshops. However, I have never been able to get a hold of that recording again, which was fantastic by the way, but this is a good short read regarding relationships, love and how we should approach both with an open mind and heart. For anyone trying to improve their relationships in general, not only romantic ones, this small book has really good pointers as to where to begin. Not only does he talk about loving others, but about loving ourselves, which is essential to love another.

This book is interesting and gives a lot to consider. I've read other books by this author that were much better. However, the space in my life right now is not focused on romantic relationships, which could have a baring on my review.

Simple, yet powerful wisdom. He speaks on some of the concepts from Conversations with God 3. I would recommend it, especially for those struggling with being their authentic selves I relationships.

[KellySue · Rating 5 out of 5]

All humans should read, although most aren't ready to hear.

[Brenda · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great little "quick read". It was written from the perspective of Neale talking with a group of people and what their conversation(s) were on relationships. He talked about whats important to make a relationship thrive - what the key is-
I would definitely recommend it as his belief is my belief...allow the other person in the relationship to be their whole being. Not what you want them to be!
