Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

When Roberto, an Argentina-based marketing expert, starts receiving e-mail messages intended for Fredy, a therapist who is co-authoring a book about relationships with his colleague Laura, he simply deletes them without reading them. But as the messages keep coming, he grows increasingly annoyed and curious. Although he feels guilty about reading someone else's messages, Roberto is intrigued by Laura's thoughts about what men and women look for in relationships, why they fail, and what men and women must each do to develop and sustain love. Each new message helps him think about the problems in his current relationship and to explore his role in the failure of his previous relationships. The reader is caught up in Roberto's story through the direct application of Laura's advice to his own situation and his growing unease about eavesdropping. Bucay and Salinas (both psychotherapists) tell their story through a format of e-mail messages, which makes it fast-paced and easy to read. Those who enjoy Bucay's advice may also take interest in his most recent book on the ego, De la autoestima al ego¡smo (From Self-Esteem to Egoism, Oceano, 2000). Highly recommended for public libraries and large booksellers. Yolanda Cuesta, Sacramento, CA

5.0 out of 5 stars Take a look at your relationship, April 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Amarse con los ojos abiertos (Paperback)

Incredible the way Jorge Bucay and Laura Salinas touch the issue of human relationships. This is a brilliant way of making people think of how they relate to their couples, to others and most importantly with themselves. A book of common senses? It may be. But it sure brings those common senses to a conscient level.
Great reading and great reflexion.

5.0 out of 5 stars La problemática de la pareja, January 4, 2006

By 

Aly De Villers "conejoaureo" (Mexico D.F.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Amarse Con Los Ojos Abiertos (to Love with Eyes Wide Open) (Integral) (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)

Un novela ligera que aborda la problemática de pareja entre lineas de emails, sus personajes podríamos ser cualquiera de nosotros. El final es inesperado y te planteas que podría haber sucedido en la vida real.
