Scott Peck •Nathaniel Branden •Judith Viorst •Margo Anand •Allan B. Chinen •Rainer Maria Rilke •Ken Wilber •Thich Nhat Hanh •Robin Norwood •Connie Zweig, and others Together, the contributors to The Art of Staying Together provide a new vision for love and intimacy, integrating psychology and spiritual awareness and showing us how we can create more satisfying relationships that allow us to enjoy life more fully.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Imagine receiving top-notch advice from more than 30 of the world's most respected and admired relationship gurus? The Art of Staying Together delivers just that. Unlike most relationship books, which espouse one particular theory or theme, this collection of essays represents a well-rounded sampling of ideas, wisdom, and advice on love, commitment, and romance. Topics range from "The Art of Fighting" to Diane Ackerman's splendid "The Cuddle Chemical." Although many of the writers speak of relationships in spiritual terms, not once do they lose their ability to be down-to-earth and practical. Contributors include M. Scott Peck, Harriet Lerner, Deborah Tannen, and Thomas Moore.

This was a thoughtful collection of excellent insights.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Staying Together (New Consciousness Reader) (Paperback)
Mr. Waldman does a wonderful job here in organizing and explaining essays from a variety of sources. The topics cover a broad range of personal interactions and focuses on 'communication' as the key to healthy relationships. The best thing about this book is that it offers help to couples young and old, new and experienced.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A remarkable collection of essays - a must read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Staying Together (New Consciousness Reader) (Paperback)
Here is a relationship cuisine that is bound to nourish and awaken interest within and between people desiring lives together. This is a book of hope and heart, a collection of works that would be enhanced by being r3ead aloud, idscussed and shered in depth with at least one other person. Waldman makes very good points about our wanting love, togetherness with significant others, and wanting to endure with one another as long as there is meaning, and our needs, values, and directions are being shared and fulfilled. Provocative, thoughtful, and helpful - a superior gathering of nourishing articles. (Reviewed in New Perspectives Journal)

Mixed bag,

This review is from: The Art of Staying Together (New Consciousness Reader) (Paperback)
A mixed bag of philosophies. There are many other books more practical and useful than this (examples Gottman, Parrott).
