Conscious Loving: The Journey to Co-Commitment

Without a doubt, this book has turned all my relationships into positive, respectful, and loving connections. While the book was written for intimate relationships, I have found it applicable to any relationship because it changes how you approach them. It's changed my world!

This is probably one of the best books I've read of this type. I have learnt so much about myself and my relationships from it. It certainly opens up your view on yourself and your relationships, and answers some of those "why?" questions. Some aspects don't just apply to partner/couple relationships, but can be applied to other relationships too, such as with family. There is a lot to digest, so don't be surprised there are sections you come back to and want to reread again some time later on, such as I have. I would certainly recommend it!!

amazing book, must have if you have ever had a relationship with another human being in any form.

If you have a lack of self confidence, a trauma from childhood, anger management problem. This book is for you. I have none of these so I could not find any personal tips. A friend is following the course and she gave me good tips for a better relationship. But the book itself did not help me. Her course on the other side sounded better.

I loved it and found it very helpful in understanding a rather painful situation...

I love this book and recommend it to all of my clients who have relationship problems, but even life troubles.I started using their method of thinking what triggers certain things into my life, so must say that it is helping me.Sometimes i have difficulties with concentrating or understanding some of the writing, but that's cause i'm dyslexic - but other than that i love it!

Great book, so much useful insights.

Love Gay Hendricks books.

Everyone can benefit from reading this book. I've already gifted 2 copies to loved ones and it probably won't stop there. Very well written, eye opening, and will definitely spark a change in you for the better.

This book is gem.It's like a user's manual for living joyful rleationships.After reading it and trying to appling at least a bit of it in the real world I've put the book immediately between my top 10.Here two quotes that helped me a lot to open myself to new levels of being:“A major event in our lives occurs when we shift our intentions from concealing to revealing.“ (p.84)„It takes a special kind of courage to face and deal with our past incompletions. Often these incompletions are the most significant barrier to expressing our full creativity in the present. Go on a hunt for any area of incompletion, large or small, and you will not be disappointed. A burst of creativity will follow the completion of some long-left issue. Clearing up an incompletion gives you a feeling of aliveness that you can get nowhere else.“ (p.198)Tremendous thanks to Gay & Kathlyn Hendricksand the good woman who recommended this book to me.

A little bit too long BUT definitely very interesting. It really helps understanding relationships of all kinds: parental, friendship, love, colleagues...

Just after my last breakup, I came across an article that Gay Hendricks wrote about blame. I loved it and found this book when I looked him up. So grateful that I did, because it was the starting point to some beautiful and amazing changes in my life and relationships.

No way to say how fundamental and necessary this book is if you're planning on getting into or maintaining a committed relationship. Fantastic, radical stuff.

Definitely worth a read if you are seeking insights about healthy relationships (whether you are in one or not).

Not completely finished the book but about half way through it has resonated with me on so many levels. I love the prospect of being kind to yourself while growing into a more positive space. No need to beat yourself up, just be honest.

Excellent book, everyone from singles to people in a relationship should read this, very insightful read.

jeder der eine Beziehung führt oder führen möchte sollte das lesen. sehr gut zusammengefasst und einfach zu lesen.

My wife was happy I bought it so worth its value right there. Been 2 years and I might read it one day. It would probably be good for me.

I wish I had read it years ago.

Un bon livre avec beaucoup d'information et techniques spécifiques à mettre en place dans nos vies et nos relations. Par contre je trouve que parfois il est un peu trop répétitif et long (spécialement vers la fin) . Ils auraient pu simplifier leur méthode. Autrement plutôt bien.

It's okay

Ein Buch, das jeder gelesen haben muss, wenn es um Beziehungen geht! Wir stolpern ja völlig unwissend in unsere Beziehungen rein. Viele von einer zur andern, nicht wissend, weshalb diese nicht funktionieren. Hier ist ein Schlüssel, sozusagen eine Gebrauchsanweisung. Schade, dass es ausgerechnet dieses Buch nicht auf deutsch gibt.

It was exactly what I was expecting
