Creating Love

A New Way of Understanding Our Most Important Relationships

De: John Bradshaw

Narrado por: John Bradshaw

“Why are so many of us at times completely baffled by a relationship?
How can we think we know someone so well and admit in the end that we hardly knew that person at all?
Why do many people who work diligently and strenuously to gain wholeness and balance still feel so frustrated about having a fulfilling relationship?
Why have so many people given up on love?”—from the Prologue

John Bradshaw’s bestselling books and compelling PBS series have touched and changed millions of lives. Now, in Creating Love, he offers us a new way to understand our most crucial relationships—with our romantic partners and spouses, with our parents and children, with friends and co-workers, with ourselves, and with God.

Bradshaw’s compassionate approach shows that many of us have been literally “entranced” by past experiences of counterfeit love, so we unknowingly re-create patterns that can never fulfill us. Here he provides both the insights and the precise tools we need to keep those destructive patterns from repeating in the present. And then he shows how we can open ourselves to the soul-building work of real love—and create healthy, loving relationships where we can be fully ourselves in every part of our lives.©1992 John Bradshaw; (P)1992 John Bradshaw and Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, A Division of Random House, Inc.

Can be life changing to many

I recommend listening to his Homecoming book and familiarize yourself with his notions on saving the inner child before reading this book that focuses on relationships. I amazed how little I appreciated the effect of our family upbringing on our personal relationships. Of all the self help professionalism, John Bradshaw is the one who resonated the most with me. His personal journey involved alcohol addiction; thus, he tells his approach with empathy for those who are suffering.
