Review
Love and Awakening offers a new, inviting, and challenging vision that gives hope to those of us who have become too soured, too guilty, too cynical. Where the glut of simplistic "how-to" books leaves us in the shallows, Welwood stirs the depths of relationships and the reader experiences those depths rising into possibilities. Don't simply read this book, take it in and let it help you and yours return to the Source. -- New Perspectives, August, 1996
Few writers who explore contemporary love as a sacred path do so as lyrically, as deeply, and as cogently as John Welwood. In his beautifully-cratted new book Love and Awakening, Welwood examines human relationship at that unique junture where psychology and spirituality meet. -- Body Mind Spirit, March, 1996
John Welwood has combined Eastern philosophy with Western teachings in previous bestsellers and here turns to long-term intimacy as the most spiritual teacher in life. Never sinking to psychobabble or presuming to suggest touchy-feely answers to complicated problems, Welwood welcomes us to the magic of our innermost nature as reflected in the gaze and soul of the beloved. -- San Francisco Chronicle, March 10, 1996
Though the idea of "relationship as a sacred path" is a notion I have heard given lip service for years, this thoroughly engaging and enlightening book is the first I have encountered that actually contributes something concrete to the process of helping couples experience their relationship as sacred. -- AHP Perspective, March 1996
Welwood introduces a new paradigm for intimate relationship in which the inevitable difficulties all couples face can be a springboard for enriching and deepening their connection. -- Yoga Journal, July, 1996

Beautiful sequel to Journey of the Heart.,
By
This review is from: Love And Awakening (Paperback)
Welwood has crafted a masterful book. Although he expands on the material he presented in his previous book Journey of the Heart, this book can be read by itself. Journey of the Heart was like a roadmap of the terrain of intimate relationships. Love and Awakening provides dialogue from some of Welwood's clients rediscovering their personal authenticity in relationship. There are also brief sections throughout the book narrating a quality or observation about relationship that are truly stunning in its poetic clarity. It perfectly echos the truths we all know deep in our hearts. His section on the "Broken-Hearted Warrior" is the most poignant, eloquent and beautiful passage about the path of intimate relationship I have ever read. The real power and magic of this book is that it does not prescribe cures like a doctor towards a patient. It gently guides us to our own center, our own being and provides tools for awakening greater awareness.

Warriors of the Heart,
By D K Middleton (Huddersfield, W Yorks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love And Awakening (Paperback)
This is a very valuable book - not just for those in relationships - but for anyone interested in the path of personal development. Welwood writes lucidly and with authority: therapeutic and spiritual concepts and practices are clearly and accessibly presented. This book usefully develops the ideas outlined in Welwood's earlier Journey of the Heart. The inclusion of 'dialogues' gives readers an insight into the experiences of people Welwood has worked with - and this provides a very helpful practical model for readers wishing to explore their own lives in similar ways. Based in solid scholarship, but designed for the lay-reader, I heartily recommend this book to all who are interested in the 'warrior work' of looking into one's own heart.

Love and Awakening,
By A Customer
This review is from: Love And Awakening (Paperback)
Although this book might help some people, I did not like the conversation format. The subjects seemed to take on a whiny tone and used "psychobabble" such as "I fell into myself" and "He isn't in his heart". I could not read this without thinking about a 70's group therapy session due to the lingo.
