Los siete secretos de las relaciones sanas y felices
•Una obra inspiradora que propone un camino que pasa por el autoconocimiento y la autoaceptación.
•Los autores dibujan una relación de pareja donde el compromiso, la libertad, el respeto y el amor incondicional son los ingredientes esenciales.
•Incluye actividades prácticas como ejercicios de reflexión y visualización, rituales y mantras.
Todos albergamos ideas y expectativas en relación al amor, que nos han sido inculcadas por nuestros padres, la cultura y el entorno. Pero los antiguos esquemas y mitos han dejado de funcionar. En el mundo actual, las relaciones nos desafían más que nunca y el clásico «vivieron felices por siempre jamás» ya no es el final del cuento, sino el desafiante principio de la historia.
Para disfrutar de relaciones sanas y constructivas debemos estar dispuestos a explorar nuevos territorios. A revisar experiencias de infancia y descubrir expectativas inconscientes que hemos ido construyendo a lo largo del proceso de domesticación. A convertirnos en artistas creativos y curiosos de las relaciones.
Don Miguel Ruiz, Jr. y HeatherAsh Amara nos acompañan en este viaje con herramientas, rituales y mantras que nos ayudarán a manifestar aquello que deseamos en nuestras vidas. Un recorrido interior de la domesticación al amor incondicional, ese que nos permite oírnos, escucharnos y reconocer la humanidad en el otro.

I loved this read. I have notes all over the place.
When I first ordered this book, I didn't realize that its focus was romantic relationships. But the lessons and secrets outlined can be applied to relationships all across the board an especially your relationship with yourself.
I'm currently on a journey to be a better person and break toxic behavior and life patterns that have plagued me most of my awareness. This book crystallizes so much for me. It's clear, direct and so incredibly on point. It helped me wrap my around so much of how my childhood continues to impact my relationships. When I read about opposite and parallel behaviors, there was a major a-ha! moment!
Just get this book already.
Instead of me reading all of what I have highlighted and underlined to my sister, I just ordered her own! Gifts for friends -- I just need to order this book in bulk!
A few stand-out quotables are below. Note: a few because the whole damn book is on point.
*Breaking up with your victim.
"What many people don't realize that how you speak to yourself affects your relationships with others."
"Whenever it arises, if you find yourself in a reactive, heavy, or fearful place in your relationship, you'll want to ask yourself two questions: (1) Is there a past emotional wound that is coming up in my current relationship? (2) Is there some idea, belief, or role I am maintaining that is no longer true for me? Oftentimes, both of these questions will apply to your situation."
"When we habitually go against our own desires by doing what the other person wants, not rocking the boat, or staying quiet, we invite misery into our relationships."
"Passive aggressive communication is often based on a need for control that comes from a fear that we will not get what we want or need from our partner -- that we have to engineer it ourselves."
"Remember, commitment to you means that sometimes you say no to your partner from a place of love rather than saying yes from a place of accommodation. It's okay to say no to others in order to say yes to yourself."
"When you trust yourself, your release the idea that having trust for someone else can sustain you fully, because now you have your own back. You know that you can trust yourself to talk to your partner if they do something that hurts you, you can trust yourself to ask for what you need, and you can trust yourself to end the relationship if needed."
"Nothing is 'good' or 'bad' unless we make it so. The most difficult situation can benefit your relationship, and the most minute thing can damage it. Even when we haven't chosen a situation, we get to choose our response."
"... avoiding or postponing the end of a relationship can bring stagnation and suffering to both partners."
See ... so many quotables.

Great book
Wish I would've read this with my partner years ago/had him read it with me. Unconditional love goes deeper than people think. It is a higher intuitive

This was a good reminder of how important it is to be aware, work on your personal healing, and to be vulnerable with yourself and your partner. Relationships require a balance between safety and freedom. While every relationship is different, joy and unconditional love must be at play during the time we have together.

This book was a quick read, which I absolutely love when it comes to these types of books. I found it very eye opening to areas of myself that I need to improve on. Whether you’re in a relationship or not I think it’s worth the read.

Another classic...this book takes the four agreements and utilize them to provide applicable steps to developing loving relationships. The authors were a couple who demonstrated ways to implement unconditional love for self and one's partner. This book used anecdotal evidence to support philosophies and opinions. Well-written, inspiring, and very useful for dealing with conflict and for improving relationships.

For me, this entire book could have been shortened into one article. Also, the tips provided in this book really aren’t any “secrets” - finding fun activities to do with your partner, open communication, don’t play the victim, etc. etc.

Learned alot
So much wisdom. I liked the lessons about communication the best. It also suggests your commitment to honoring yourself is important

Perfect for me and my other half; your mileage may vary. I thought it was well-laid-out and incredibly thoughtful. The length of the book, the contents of the chapters, and the information provided was really spot-on. It wasn't like reading a textbook, yet it had the perfect amount of substance.
I learned a lot and opened myself up to things I hadn't previously considered. I'd recommend this book to anyone in a relationship: two copies, actually, because one for you and one for them.

Ενα πολύ στοχευμένο και ενδιαφέρον βιβλίο, που όπως αναγράφεται και μέσα, δεν σου αποκαλύπτει κάποια μεγάλα μυστικά, αλλά σου φωτίζει τον δρόμο για να θυμηθείς αυτά που ξέρεις ήδη.
Όλη η ουσία του βιβλίου βρίσκεται στα τελευταία κεφάλα, πρέπει όμως να διαβαστεί από την αρχή για να κατανοηθεί πραγματικά, πράγμα που μου αρέσει όταν συμβαίνει στα βιβλία.
Θεωρώ βέβαια, ότι θα μπορούσε να εντρυφήσει λίγο περισσότερο στην δράση-αντίδραση μεταξύ του ζευγαριού, δηλαδή πώς μπορούμε να χειριστούμε μια κατάσταση αν εμείς εφαρμόζουμε όσα γράφονται μέσα, αλλά ο σύντροφος μας όχι.

This may be the most eye opening relationship book I've read, and I think it could help so many people even NOT in a relationship to just be better, happier people. I plan to re-read this at least every year. The audiobook version is great, too. I just put it on when I'm making a long drive because I could hear it 100 times and it wouldn't get old (because the things that are discussed here are so contrary to what we are taught in popular culture today).

Me gusto el libro porque te da buenos consejos para aplicar en tu relaciones (no necesariamente de pareja) incluso puedes aplicarlos en tu vida diaria :)
Solo que en algunas se me hizo muy repetitivo

I listened to this via audiobook on my lockdown walks and really enjoyed it. I will definitely be getting it in physical form as it's another one of Ruiz books that I can see myself returning to in the future. It has already given me so much to think about in my current relationship with my partner. It's also made me reflect on past relationships and my relationships with friends and family.
Each section is explained in such an accessible way and I liked the use of examples.

Wow! I am so thankful that I have this book in my personal library. It will be something I refer back to over years to come so that I may grow as an individual in my relationships. While this is focused on couples/partners it can easily be transferred to relationships with friends, family, or coworkers.
Learning and growing ourselves is the way to have healthy relationships with those around us. I hope if you are reading this review hopefully, you will take a chance and give this book a try.

Applicable for all relationships
I am single and has been for a while so i read this book as a way to understand how to better relate to others, anyone, specially people who push my buttons. I found the book to be a loving reminder to live from the heart so that the love can flow freely regardless of the issues that may come up with any other being.

I highlighted big chunks of this book! It is full of excellent advice, much of it common sense but so easy to overlook or forget when we get caught up in our daily lives. The focus of this book is primarily romantic relationships, but the advice can be applied to any treasured relationship in your life, including close friendships and family relationships too. I will be referring back to this book often.

I think this is a very well written, quick read that can really lead you to forge more healthy relationships. The concepts are easy to understand and some of the exercises I believe can be beneficial that are given in the book. While the book is mainly written for romantic relationships, many of the ideas can be applied to everyday relationships with either friends or family.
November 27, 2024
Wow, incredible read. Highly recommend everyone read this book. I walked away so many tools that I could use in my everyday relationship with family, friends, and a partner. The book is written in a way that is specific to a happy, healthy relationship with a partner but I noticed that it is applicable in any kind of relationship.

Enlightening
If taken seriously, these lessons when practiced can offer inner peace. This book offers more than secrets to building happy and healthy relationships with intimate partners, but also to learning how to love yourself.

October 24, 2020Very enjoyable book on a subject that seems simple at times but at other times is deceptively hard: how to achieve a healthy, and happy relationship. The presentation of the seven themes (secrets) is well done, and very approachable. Definitely worth a read.

كتاب رائع آخر لدون ميغيل رويز في العلاقات، حيث يتضمن شرحًا وارشادات وطرق كثيرة للتواصل وفهم العلاقة عوضًا عن تقديم رؤية شمولية فحسب للمفاهيم التي يجب على الفرد معرفتها وادراكها في العلاقة. مثري ومفيد.

Insightful and practical read
I found this book incredibly useful in understanding what it takes to create and nurture a healthy, happy relationship - with your partner, and more importantly, yourself! The insights shared are also very practical to apply.

I read most of this for a book club discussion. I felt like it was a mix of really good advice and really unhelpful advice, and the way the authors talked as though they were the source of all wisdom kind of turned me off. But it was a great book to discuss with friends.

An interesting take on relationships based on The Four Agreements, it has some good insight for how to best show up in a committed relationship and how to show grace to another.
