| User Reviews |  | I recommend this to all couples
rating: 5
I am a mental health counselor and have the opportunity to work with couples as well. I would recommend this book to any couple, whether the relationship is in trouble or not. The author has a unique approach in explaining what we are all looking for (love, respect, acceptance) and how we are all responsible for the behavior in ourselves and others. The examples and suggestions are most helpful. This book is easy to read and has plenty of "exercises" for the reader. I would definitely put this on my gift list for clients, family, and friends.

HOPE
rating: 5
Please read this book. To say this is the most important book I've ever read after the Bible is an understatement. I cannot strongly enough express my heartfelt recommendation for these simple, elegantly written, true words of how to place hope and faith in action. This book will give you insight, perhaps not the kind you're expecting; in fact, it's not what you're expecting.
That is what makes this message unlike any other. Seriously, it is all true, based on our (wife) life changing relationship experience this book inspired. Bill's book saved a marriage of 20 years. [also help from his brother Randy Ferguson - LCAProject.com] Nothing I've done or read has been more transformational than this work. Enough said.

Excellent Advice for How to Let Go
rating: 5
This is a great book that taught me how to let go. I'm going through a difficult separation process right now and it has given me the strength and the insights to let go and find my peace of mind. The book is not written with a lot of psychology wordiness but rather straight to the point with simple language that anyone can understand...
I would recommend this book to anyone who is going through a separation or divorce in their marriage.

Not only for intimate relationships
rating: 5
This is a well-written and insightful book on relationships and how they relate to the individual. In fact, your relationships truly ARE all about YOU. The author dispells the theory that relationships are 50/50. I never thought of it quite this way, but as he points out they are truly 100/100. Both persons are FULLY responsible for what happens in a relationship. It is all about actions and reactions. You can apply the concepts in this book to intimate relationships as well as working relationships...whatever... Anytime two people interact you have a relationship.
One caveat is that you may find yourself thinking that there is a bit of repetition of the same ideas in the book. Well, there are repetitions. However, they are useful and the repetition is not excessive.
Even if you are in a fabulous relationship/marriage, you owe it to yourself to read this book. It is relatively short and is a quick read. Most of the concepts in the book are nothing new, but the presentation forces you to really think it through. I suspect that you will find yourself thinking "I never really thought of it exactly like that before" quite a few times as you read.
Easy read, well written, good concepts, buy the book!

This Book Changed My Life
rating: 5
This book changed my life and the way I handle all relationships. I am recommending it to all of my friends.
It taught me that learning to let go is the key to healing any relationship. And though it sounds anti-intuitive, learning to let go brings people closer. I think it is useful for all people, not just married people going through a difficult time but unmarried people too. (I am not married, not even engaged--just in a long distance relationship.) This book has made me a stronger person and this positive attitude has permeated my relationship with my boyfriend.
