Self-Help books that may be of interest to you:
Are you looking for love in all of the wrong places? Perhaps the book, A General Theory of Love, by Drs Thomas Lewis, Fari Amini and Richard Lannon, may provide a poetic and scientific explanation of why you may be finding the same unhealthy person and how you may be able to change that part of your life.
John Gray’s book, Men Are From Mars and Women Are from Venus, is an interesting beginning book on relationships as long as we remember that we all live on Earth and do have to develop a common language.
Perhaps you, or someone you love, may have a problem with anger. Dr. Hendrie Weisinger’s book, The Anger WorkOut Book, is a great workbook on anger management.
Do you want to stimulate romance and increased sexual pleasure in your relationship? Try these two books by Ellen Kreidman: Light Her Fire and Light His Fire.
Dr. Daniel Siegel and Mary Hartzell have written a wonderful parenting book entitled “Parenting form the Inside Out.”
