It was the most wonderful gift and the wake-up call my partner and I needed
I was in relationship denial! I naively thought this book didn’t apply to me. Instead it was the most wonderful gift and the wake-up call my partner and I needed. The book provided simple and effective tools to enable us to get back-on-track – we ended up with not only a greater understanding and appreciation of each other but also ourselves.

This book is essential reading for all couples
This book is essential reading for all couples. It is simple, clear and easy to understand and gets right down to the nitty gritty of good ‘conscious’ communication. It highlights how to firstly recognize the unconscious ‘games’ that get played out in our relationships and, more importantly, provides a clear formula for effective change. I must admit, I am very lucky in that my partner and I are very close (married 22 years and still holding hands!) but the fact is there is always more to learn – this book has allowed me to look very closely at some of the ‘games’ that we play and to make appropriate changes accordingly.
I think this book is also not just for couples. My daughter is 18 and on the brink of ‘relationshiphood’…what a great blessing to have such knowledge at the start of her journey.
