Real Love: The Truth About Finding Unconditional Love & Fulfilling Relationships

I had a major crisis in my life recently-A sort of Emotional Drowning, which caused me to desperately look for ANY sort of rescue. If you get this book, you can see me in the last chapter, the spouse with no hope he could see, except to leave his wife who he stilled loved. So here I was, getting more and more weary of nothing working--shrinks, marriage counselors, and even some ministers----wondering how did things get this bad, and ready to just let the drowning waves come over me, when I remembered something. A few years back--back when my life was super--I loved my wife, she loved me, we both loved our kidsa---a close friend, actually a fundamental Christian, of which I am the latter not the former, had mentioned just in passing that I really should not just "love" my wife but should have "unconditional love" for her--"Yeah, whatever, so what" was my response-my wife and I loved each other a lot, so what's the point if we call our love some title.So, before I slipped below the waves, I gave it one last shot---I Googled "Unconditional Love" and "book", with no real optimism that I would find anything to help me. This book popped up-Simple: I bought it---It saved my life!!The reason that I gave you my history is to show you that I had a BIG TIME NEED for the stuff in this book when I looked for it---That NEED was the ONLY reason I even looked for a book like this, much less read it. Had I read it about 5 years ago, when things "appeared" to be going just fine in my life, my reaction to the book would have been radically different. My review would have looked like this:3 Stars"This book is a very interesting read--filled with good concepts to follow, that, however, really don't apply to me, but might apply to you, because my life is great right now and because the small increase in love I might get above what I give and get right now, wouldn't be worth the effort necessary to do the stuff in this book. So I "could" recommend reading this book for how Dr Baer's interesting theories help other people--people who I really have sympathy for, but nothing in common with---they're not like me and my wife. We love each other a lot, and don't have any problems like those people in the book. Therefore, although I could recommend this book for its interesting theories, I don't really see any reason to read this book unless you have allowed your life to go down hill so far that you're like those people in the book".The title of my review: "If You Don't Think You Need This Book---You Do!!!". Looking back did I "need" a few years ago to put into practise the stuff in this book---You betcha. It took desperately trying to "do" the stuff in this book while I was drowning to realize that had "the light gone on" back when things "apparently" were just fine, my situation definitely would not have gotten this bad. But, sometimes I still seem to have to rationalize the deterioration of my marriage. I think--"Not my fault--I didn't know anything was wrong back then and I didn't even have a chance to decide to do something or not". Speaking of having chances, if you decide to get this book, I'd be curious which of my reviews you would write. Sorry, no punch line yet--but work is in progress, the waves have subsided and I'm getting closer to shore every day.

This is a fantastic book that contains the Grand Unifying Theory of Happiness. Although the book is primarily about happiness, I consider its most important point to be about anger. I've read it twice in the 3 months since I bought it, and I've read 2 of his other (similar and related) books during that time.The book has made me reconsider a number of important topics; enough-so that I'm now an (agnostic/atheist) evangelist for it (I suspect that the author is a Christian). I've bought a bunch of extra copies and given them to others.I can't say that I yet fully understand nor accept all that the author's ideas imply, but the content makes an amazing amount of sense. The concepts can be difficult to grasp; I'm not sure if the book is poorly-written, or if it is because some of our important (but incorrect) beliefs are so deeply-ingrained in us. His book " Real Love in Dating " seems less prone to misunderstanding, and the ideas are presented in the context of dating, although it is not difficult to generalize to other situations from that book. If you are dating, then I'd suggest that you first buy the "Real Love in Dating" book, then consider his other books if it strongly resonates with you. The book " Real Love: The Truth About Finding Unconditional Love & Fulfilling Relationships " definitely has some more depth than "Real Love in Dating". Whatever you do, get your hands on one of them.Among the people who I expect to benefit from the book are anyone who frequently finds themselves feeling angry, anyone raised in an environment where little affection was shown, anyone who has spent a lot of time worrying about being "rejected", and anyone who is close to someone like this -- so, almost everyone.In some places you'll see the author make very-strong statements that are hard-to-believe, but a thorough reading of the book usually reveals that the strong wording which he used at one point or the other didn't fully represent his thoughts. Also, in order to get a lot out of his ideas, there's no need for you to agree completely with what he believes.If you're on the fence about buying one of his books, then you might want to start viewing the first (free) hour of the author's "Essentials of Real Love" video series. You'll need to go to his website, then find the page that lets you click on "Module One". The first 4 minutes are sort of hard to take, in the sense that they're a bit silly. The author's use of personal-space seems kind of weird to me, but the content is great, and this video gives you a very good feel for the first part of the book.

Alles Super 👍👋

Amazing book. Must read

THE way to happiness !Greg Baer is inspired. Everything he says is true. It works. I experienced it.

A life-changing book. I have read lots of personal development books but rarely anything as clear, and simply explained that gets right to the heart of things. Lots of examples of relationship crises, and the patterns of behaviour people adopt in pursuit of 'love', make it very easy to identify some very unhelpful behaviours I have brought to my relationship! I first read the book while away three weeks ago. Now my partner and I are enjoying reading it together each evening. It is teaching us so much. Thank you Greg. This book is a treasure. I have already recommended it to others.

Nice quick delivery and the item was exactly as described!
