Getting the Love You Want

A Guide for Couples: 20th Anniversary Edition

De: Harville Hendrix Ph.D.

Narrado por: Jack Garrett

In Getting the Love You Want, Dr. Harville Hendrix presents the relationship skills that have already helped hundreds of thousands of couples to replace confrontation and criticism with a healing process of mutual growth and support.

This extraordinarily practical guide describes the revolutionary technique of Imago Relationship Therapy, which combines a number of disciplines - including the behavioral sciences, depth psychology, cognitive therapy, and Gestalt therapy, among others - to create a program to resolve conflict and renew communication and passion.

In a new chapter and afterword, we learn the key ways in which Imago Therapy - now practiced by more than two thousand therapists worldwide - can be used to help couples eliminate all negativity from their daily interactions.

This fundamental change has proven invaluable in couples' therapy, and the importance of eliminating negativity has been integrated throughout the text, allowing listeners of the 2008 edition to benefit from Dr. Hendrix's ongoing discoveries during his last two decades of work.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"I know of no better guide for couples who genuinely desire a maturing relationship." (M. Scott Peck, author of The Road Less Traveled)

Gave me lots to think about.

This book has given me a lot of self awareness and knowledge into how my childhood has affected my marriage. I have not started the exercises yet but already feel the benefits of awareness gained from Getting the Love You Want. Definitely worth the read.

Thank you Dr. Hendrix. for this wonderful book.

I'm not marry yet. my fiance and I known each other for 9 years. I have to say I learned so much about myself on this book and my painful childhood experience. this book may me realize how to be a better person and listen to my partner better about he's needs and be more caring .

SUPERB

Very, Very Helpful. I will be downloading more of his books. Thank you Audible! It was so convenient for me.

Eye opening, this explains everything moments.

As I listened and reflected on past relationships, I could see clearly. Got what wanted.

Remarkable insights; Remarkable delivery

Needless to say, the material is wonderful, mind-blowing, revolutionary, inventive, and insightful. I was on pins and needles, and I felt challenged to grow from the first paragraph. This is the most interesting, original and authentic book I’ve encountered on the topic of relationships.

I must emphasize: the narration is perfect. The performance is a masterclass in how to handle the narration of non-fiction material that is instructive, contemplative, and complex. The book is engaging both intellectually and emotionally, and the reader’s presence should allow the listener to be present and undistracted in both realms.

I’ve listened to narrations of at least three other books I consider important and well written on the topics of yoga, metaphysics and love relationships. At least one was read by the author. Hearing Jack Garrett narrate “Getting the Love You Want” is the first time I’ve heard a narrator strike a perfect balance in his performance.

The material, in part thanks to Mr. Garrett’s read, is extremely engrossing. On occasion, I will check to see if I’m paying any attention to the reader himself. The answer is always ‘no.’ *The only reason I shift focus to check is that I’ve found the narrators of various excellent non-fiction works extremely distracting and mannered. I’ve heard narrators grossly under-modulate and over-modulate; I’ve heard some who have quirks, overly distinct speech patterns or who sound downright peculiar. Jack Garret’s voice and read are a joy to behold! I’m an actor and voice actor, so a part of me is always interested in the approach and effectiveness of audiobook narration/performance.

Here, Jack Garrett has all the qualifications a listener could want: a clear, pleasant, beautifully modulated voice. He is able to make crystal clear the sense and importance of the text. I attribute his great success with the material to his acting skills, his intelligence and his strong preparation, but at the same time, I am never conscious of him other than that he is warm enough to keep the material engaging at all times. He is masculine and strong, yet he never draws attention to his personality. His attributes merely serve his pitch-perfect delivery of the book.

I found every part of the book stirring on some level. I find it amazing and even amusing that when I heard the very last section of the book, which, aloud, initially sounds like an index, I was still so immersed that I forgot there was anything but the author’s message and me.
