Unbreakable Bonds: Practicing the Art of Loving and Being Loved

This is an excellent book. It helps us understand the underlying motivations of our actions so we can focus on making changes at the root of a behavioral problem instead of wasting our time with surface issues. I would recommend this book to everyone, regardless of whether a person feels they have everything together or if everything is falling apart. It has helped me understand myself and my own motivations as well as giving me a clearer picture of why others behave the way they do.

This book teaches the reader how to create lasting relationships with each other, by "unlearning" the wrong views of Love we have learned over the years through rejection, abandonment, abuse and conditional love, and focusing on God's unconditional love. You will learn, after completing the exercises throughout the book, what has influenced your personal view of love. This book is full of practical ways of improving current loving relationships and mending hurting relationships. You are a few pages away from beginning the process of creating lasting "Unbreakable Bonds" with family and friends, and maybe even finding new love.

This book is amazing! It is very deep and can be very challenging at times but it is well worth the effort. If you think that you're ready for this type of emotional growth, I'm still praying that I am, then this book is for you.

Practical advice for putting the book's ideas into practice in "real life" recalls the functional (and fun) style of a Rick Warren book. A great, and quick, read that gave concrete examples, plans for action, and that little boost of inspiration that it often takes to get readers working toward the practices they read about.I'd recommend the book, and offer criticism only to chapter 4, but overall a great few hours spent learning.
