Journey of the Heart

"An extraordinarily good book, because it goes to the heart of the matter of human relationships. In a world in which so many live in crowded solitude and are afraid of intimacy or have difficulty understanding it, John Welwood''s Journey of the Heart comes as a saving grace. . . . It is a rare, enriching, and exhilarating experience." -- Ashley Montagu, author of Touching A powerful approach to intimate relationships--as a path of personal and spiritual discovery, whose challenges call forth our deepest strengths and resources. As men and women find that they can no longer rely on old roles and formulas to get along, intimate relationships call for a new kind of honesty and awareness, a willingness to let go of old patterns and cultivate new capacities. Journey of the Heart shows how we can rise to this challenge by learning to use whatever difficulties we face in relationships as opportunities to expand our sense of who we are and deepen our capacity to connect with others. This is the path of conscious love.
