Μικρό αλλά περιεκτικό βιβλιαράκι που καταπιάνεται με αρκετές από τις πτυχές που επηρρεάζουν τις συντροφικές σχέσεις, γραμμένο από έναν γνωσιακό ψυχοθεραπευτή. Μου άρεσαν πολλά από αυτά που διάβασα και ταίριαξαν με προσωπικές μου εμπειρίες αλλά και γνώσεις από βιβλία και από τη δουλειά μου. Ωστόσο με χάλασε η υπερβολική έμφαση που δίνει ο συγγραφέας στην "χαμηλή αυτοεκτίμηση" ως αιτία προβλημάτων (λογικό όμως λόγω της ιδιότητάς του), στην απαξίωση του σεξ ως καθοριστικού παράγοντα επιτυχίας ή αποτυχίας μίας σχέσης, καθώς και κάποιες παρωχημένες αναφορές και η συμπάθειά του στον Φρόιντ. Νομίζω ότι μπορεί κάποιος να πάρει αρκετά καλά στοιχεία από αυτό το βιβλίο για να βελτιώσει τη σχέση του και μου άρεσε που θέτει σχετικά ξεκάθαρα κάποια κριτήρια για το αν μία σχέση μάλλον είναι καταδικασμένη, οπότε και δεν έχει νόημα η προσπάθεια. Θα έβαζα τριάμιση αστεράκια αν υπήρχε η δυνατότητα, αλλά ελλείψει μισών καταλήγω πιο εύκολα στα τρία.

Never ever ever underestimate a practical guide by Icon Books!
Its clear to say that psychology of relationships is the perfect beginning for anyone interested in this topic. John Karter writes in a clear conscience manor with references to theories and books written by authors. I will be purchasing paperback edition for my bookshelf!
Highly recommend

This delivered on its promise of being a practical understandable guide to the psychology of relationships, though it is clear that however prepared you might think you are for love, those heady early stages of romance will test your ability to think rationally. This would be a good post relationship breakdown debriefing tool. There are a lot of ideas and much wisdom packed into it and it is narrated in a very accessible friendly style.

Great insights on the experience of love.Can be more rewarding for the one's who always loved.
3 for its lucid language .
It's not just another book on love.
A little use of psychology.
A must read for anyone,to have the slightest insight on the topic.

Quick & interesting read. Few key ideas, 1.) Purpose of a relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom you might share your completeness 2.)Two monologues do not make a dialogue. 3.)Do not let the Sun go down on your anger. Talk about your negative feelings before they turn into resentment and potentially create an even bigger problem.
