Your Brain on Love: The Neurobiology of Healthy Relationships

its not a book that will help you with your relationships but it will help you understand yourself better. extremely recommended.

Worthwhile read

Parfait

I have purchased 4 sets of this CD series (3 gifs I purchased after I bought my first one) and have recommended it to many others. I wishI I had this information years ago, but glad I have it now. There are several things I learned about myself and others: how early attachment styles affect relationships, what are skills some people just don't have, how processing speed challenges a relationship, how to keep fight/disagreements short and non-threatening...Dr. Tatkin's style of teaching is easy to listen to. I have listened to this set several times now and plan to listen more. He also makes good suggestions for people who are at the first of an "in love" situation since he stresses being in love is the brain "being on a drug."

I do believe that Dr. Tatkin gets it right. I have had quite the self discovery while progressing through these CD's. If you take the undistracted time to absorb this information, even if you don't have a partner willing to share the experience with, you will come out a wiser, better informed human. I wish there were some way to teach everyone these communications. Everyone would get along so much better if they saw the big picture and why we are motivated to do what we do. Relationships are tough enough, there are many distractions and if you can get someone to throw you a life line to a happier, healthier coupling wouldn't you want to take it.

Most original way of thinking about love relationship and personal history. Puts conflicts in a different light that helps understand partnerships.

Saved my marriage.
