recommended readings

Terry Real’s three books:
-I Don’t Want to Talk about It -- main theme is about men and how their undiagnosed depression impacts their lives, particularly their relationships
-How Can I Get Through to You--full accounts of how he works to help couples untangle their relational deformities
-New Rules of Marriage--his most recent book; more condensed than previous books; has great tips for improving relationships
The Soul’s Code, James Hillman. A radical thinker whose theme here is that it is not so much our homes and our families of origin that shape us, but that our soul, our internal unfolding pattern, is much more powerful than our circumstances.
Wherever You Go, There You Are, Jon Kabat-Zinn. The author is credited with making the practice of mindfulness widespread. He has other good books, too, but most important is beginning your own practice of mindfulness, no matter if it's just 10 minutes for a couple of days a week. Begin!
