We all want healthy relationships. But first we need to become whole and healthy ourselves, since a relationship can only be as healthy as the least healthy person in it. With a candid and realistic approach, Love the Life You Life guides each of us to becoming a more complete person in Christ by helping us recognize our blind spots, learn to be more authentic, strengthen our social skills, put the past into perspective, and more. Chapters include self-tests and practical suggested activities.

This book is just far to general and repetitive. The stories used for examples are often incongruent or outlandish and the hype at the beginning to solve all you problems leads to very disappointing actual content. Also, the online link you are told to go to for a self-assessment leads you to a website I'm sure they didn't intend on sending their readers to.

This is excellent practical advice with just the right mix of an easy read and thoughtful analysis. The manner and depth of presentation reflects the best the authors have to offer from their combined talents as both highly trained professionals engaged in individual counseling, and mass consumption authors. One of the authors is the founder of eHarmony.com – you must have seen the incessant ads on T.V.
The book starts with the deep and simple plan that you need to have “profound significance, unswerving authenticity, and self-giving love to achieve happiness. One thing I really liked were the “tests” it offers to see how well you rate on different dimensions that can have an impact on your happiness. You answer a series of multiple choice questions and then look at the answer key to see how you rate. These are good tools for judging the areas you are doing well in, or the areas that need improvement, in the safety and comfort of your home. If you are brave enough the text also offers several exercises you can engage in with others to see the difference between how you perceive yourself, and how others perceive you. Remember we can never see our own dark spots. .
It does not offer any one “Secret” that can change your life, but it does offer good discussions of key areas you can focus on to improve things. I liked how it talked about moving past your past, tuning into your self-talk, discovering you blind spots, and harnessing your wild side/passions. I enjoyed the discussion of the need to not simply destroying or choose not to act on our passions. We need to harness them, recognize they can be used for both good and bad, and learn to direct them towards the good that can bring us happiness.
