Mark - what was the name of that book...

that you mentioned in a previous post about coming to terms with your past and how it affects your future. I might have that wrong but I believe it was something along those lines?

Yeah Mark (and everyone/anyone else)!!! I think this could be a good place for anyone to post a listing of some of their recommended books for getting through relationship stuff.

Keeping The Love You Find: A Guide for Singles (Paperback)
by Harville, PhD Hendrix
From an Amazon reviewer: This is an exceptional book of its kind -- I usually loathe so called "Self-Help" books, but I find the author's "Imago" theory -- based on the belief that we subconciously seek out partners that resemble our parents because they trigger childhood wounds and/or parts of ourselves we have disowned, and the reason for this is that our subconcious has a deep yearning for those wounds to be healed, and for us to reclaim our shadow parts and become whole again.
I liked Love Smart by Dr. Phil too, also Men are From Mars Women are from Venus, Why men love bitches, He's Scared, She's Scared (that one freaked me out a bit).
Has anyone read "The Secret"??
Thanks Shrimpy, Mark and isysmoon - I appreciate all of your reco's.
That is a good idea. I do have a list of my favorite books in my profile - but here it is to share:
my favorite books
No Mountain High Enough:Raising Lance,Raising Me; Millionaire Next Door; Zen and the Art of Falling in Love; Men Are From Mars Women Are From Venus; Mars and Venus On A Date; Zen Miracles: Finding Peace In An Insane World; Fall in Love Stay in Love; He's Just Not That Into You; Relationship Cure; Date Or Soulmate? Decide in 2 dates or less; Getting Married After 40: Advice & Inspiration from 100 Women Who Found Good Husbands; Blink; The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships; His Needs Her Needs; The Four Gifts of Love;
Okay, so it's a good idea- but you might hate me for this one request...
Could you list the authors too? It makes it easier for me to track down if I have names. I know Soonee or Mark might do the amazon link as well- but I'm not asking for THAT much work! ;-)
Thanks!
