LOVING BRAVELY. Twenty Lessons of Self-Discovery to Help You Find and Keep the Love You Want

This book teaches relational self-awareness, a key component to happy love relationships that is often overlooked in books on love.

Real love starts with you. In Brave, Deep, and Intimate, psychologist and relationship expert Alexandra H. Solomon introduces the idea of relational self-awareness, encouraging readers to explore their personal history to gain an understanding of their own relational patterns, as well as their strengths and weaknesses in relationships. By doing so, they'll learn what relationships actually require, beyond the fairytale notions of romance. And by maintaining a steady but gentle focus on the self, readers build the best possible foundation
for making a loving connection.
