There's another author I want to say something about briefly.

I remember when the John Gray was first on Oprah back in the mid-90s. I liked what he had to say then; but had not read the books yet. Then, a friend of mine got the tape (VHS) set.
My fiance broke up with me in a very painful way. I sat down that night and watched one tape after another. It took me about a week to get through the whole set (12 tapes).

It was a light bulb moment (or series of moments) for me. I loved it! These sessions have helped me more in my relationships AND in my work than almost anything else. He is clear and to the point; and it is presented in such a non-confrontational way.

I just want to make sure that those that haven't watched, read or listened (but I would recommend watching and/or listening) try to do so if you are drawn to him at all. I found it immensely helpful and educating.

I notice (was reminded by Morgan's thread) that he is very involved with Hale Dworkin and the Sedona Method, so it seems he continues to tie his specialty to the spiritual-mind-body link.

Just wanted to put that out there....:hi:

1. He was also in The Secret, lidreamer. (Just in case you didn't notice.)

3. He has a lot of wisdom.

My husband and I took a weekend-long relationship workshop with him back in 1992 and it was amazing. I was very impressed with both his communication skills and his understanding of women.

4. I was always deeply put off by the title --

it seemed simplistic and probably sexist. Can you provide just a little bit of info about what he's got to say?? (Beyond his appearance in The Secret?)

5. I always had a hard time taking him seriously ...

... simply because at the time he was 'biggest', I was seeing a married man by the same name. Made it kind of difficult to get 'relationship' books and not snicker.

:shrug:

6. My counselor quotes him, and I did read one passage in one of his books...

...that I really liked. (I was just browsing at the library.)

I think you have inspired me to get one of his books...I could use a bit of help in communicating with my boyfriend.

thanks! :hug:

7. You might want to

look into Harville Hendrix books, "Getting the Love you Want", "Keeping the Love you Find"...
They teach a communication style known as "Imago". If I were in a relationship, I would certainly want to read them. I am planning to read "Keeping..." anyway.
