Us: Getting Past You & Me to Build a More Loving Relationship by Terrence Real

kessler21's review against another edition

5.0

This is a life changing book for my wife and me. We listened and then discussed this book together, a chapter at a time.

[a:Terrence Real|27393|Terrence Real|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s philosophy is that we create coping mechanisms as a child to survive, which is great, but those mechanisms are detrimental as an adult, especially in relationships. So he gives the tools how to overcome your "adaptive child" and become your "mature adult self" when dealing with others, especially in a romantic relationship.

Is there anything new in this book? Not really. But the perspective and tools offered is simple, refreshing, and effective.
