Lessons in Love: The Transformation of Spirit Through Intimacy

International best-selling author and lecturer Guy Corneau offers a new paradigm for creating fulfilling relationships. We all want to be happy in love. Who among us doesn't carry a mental vision of the happily-ever-after couple that we are yearning to be half of? So why is it that so few of us are able to realize that picture in our daily lives?

In this highly readable and insightful guide, Jungian psychoanalyst Guy Corneau suggests that the obstacles we face are simply the newness of this collective desire and the lack of a model for which to attain it. For centuries, we have been bound together as couples by the outside pressures of religion, economy, and society. But the weakening of those forces and growing gender equality have resulted in bothdisillusioned lovers and a skyrocketing divorce rate.

Lessons in Love sets us on the path to fulfillment we've longed for with a change of focus. It urges us to embrace the new freedom and responsibility we have to identify our own inner reasons for creating, tending and withstanding the crucible of deep, intimate relationships between equals. With engaging anecdotes, as well as mythical and literary references, Corneau helps us recognize and discard the outdated traditional methods of relating that we inherited from our parents in order to create our own. This revolutionary book offers each of us the invaluable lessons necessary to achieve the greatest intimacy that we as human beings have ever known.
