I picked this up after a rough patch in my marriage and the section on growing beyond your pain hit me harder than I expected. The exercises on self-knowledge aren't fluffy, they actually made me sit with uncomfortable stuff. My wife and I are talking differently now.

Chapter three on sacred sexuality completely reframed how I talk to my partner about desire, and the self-knowledge exercises actually made me sit with old wounds instead of dodging them. It's the kind of book you work through slowly with a highlighter, not skim in a weekend.

I didn't expect a book on relationships to make me look so hard at my own patterns, but the sections on self-knowledge hit me right in the chest. The intimacy exercises are simple enough that my partner and I actually do them instead of just talking about doing them.
