Good point SS. I am jumping the gun on that. I guess I just wanted to be ready in case something "comes up" soon. I will heed your, and NYS's advice.
FD. I have read, in order:
Divorce Busting Of course, the mother of them all! Getting the Love You Want Recommended by my C. Good stuff, but heavy on the Freudian, childhood issues=adult issues stuff. It is a tough read, but good for explaining a lot about why we end up who we are based on who we grow up being. It was a good foundation building for future reading. The 5 Love Languages I really enjoyed this. Easy read, and full of great info centering around how different people express and want to receive love. Probably similar to Mars/Venus (I will guess since I have barely begun that one) in terms of "wow, I never thought of that before" type stuff. I think this is a must read, and will give you a ton of great insight on you AND your spouse. The 4 Agreements This is the first book I read that really deals with individual growth. It talks about 4 things that you can do to life a better, more honor filled life. I think, like the 5 Love Languages, it is essential reading for us here. It was a little "out there" for me in some places but all-in-all, it was really insightful. Transforming Yourself I saw this one recommended to someone on some thread somewhere. This one still eludes me. I think there was some good stuff, but mainly I found it to just be an endless philosophy lecture. I suppose, where I was at when I read it, I wanted more instruction and less theory. That said, the parts addressing ownership versus victimhood are worth the price of admission. The Little Book of Letting Go I am still reading this. Funny, what has stopped me from just getting through it is all the exercises it has you do. It's the opposite of Transforming Yourself. The principals seem really sound and for those of you like me who obsess and worry about everything, this looks to be very helpful. I just need to finish it! Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus What can I say. It's the bible isn't it...lol. Seriously, from the first couple minutes of listening, I understand why this book has meant so much to so many.
