Description
This book takes the form of a seminar based on C.G. Jung’s intriguing essay, “Marriage As a Psychological Relationship.” In content, it evolves into a lively discussion of what is involved in becoming conscious and how this affects relationships, especially intimate ones.
The author’s gift for clarity leads to some inescapable truths, such as that true relationship is not compatible with the popular ideal of togetherness, that autonomous inner demons often run the show, that power is a woeful substitute for love, and above all that successful relationships depend on a working knowledge of oneself.
Psychological issues are discussed seriously and with candid examples that will make you think twice before putting your foot in your mouth. But the fun of letting go is here as well- the exuberant freedom in living your own truth, the deep satisfaction in recognizing another person as separate and equal.
Through laughter or tears, Getting to Know You will affect the way you see yourself and others. And that could change your life.
