People are always asking me "what can I read?"

The long answer is: there are many valuable resources for relationships. The helpfulness depends on your personal experience and your desire, capacity, and efficacy of implementation. You may, in fact, be solving the wrong problem. That is, you have self diagnosed something in your relationship, and the true source of your issues is something else. No book will help with this.

I read and incorporate many works into my personal & professional practices. Some provide me with distinctions. Some depth. Some show me what it is that I don't want to share. Some underscore old paradigms and do more harm than good. All of this is like, just my opinion, man.

This is a work in progress, and as a result I will add or remove items whenever I like.

Here are my criteria for inclusion;

  • I have personally read, watched, heard, used, or experienced this resource
  • This resource is in alignment with my values
  • There is broad enough appeal to this content that most people will find it helpful
  • I LOVE this content and think it is key for deep connection
  • The content is aimed at individuals & couples in relationship (rather than being professional skills based)

TL;DR: Read widely. IMPLEMENT actions. Calibrate. Repeat.
