Kevin B. Burk's book is a practical, easy-to-understand guide to understanding why we do the crazy things we do sometimes...and, more importantly, how to change those patterns. (I had an "Aha!" moment in the first 50 pages.) The unique framework he uses to present the material makes it accessible to everyone, as does his fresh and sometimes humorous writing style. A real find!

I have found Kevin Burk's practical down to earth understanding of human relationships phenomenal! I've read the book, attended his seminars and have listened to his CD's. I've read a lot of books on self help, religion/psychology and metapyhsics and this book cuts through the "cr-p" and gives a realistic and spiritual way to understand relationships. Lots of practical tools to make you feel good about yourself no matter what's going on in your life.

Kevin's insight into the dynamics of a woman who is more comfortable with her thoughts than her feelings, has shed an awareness and deeper acceptance of my internal wiring.

Kevin Burke has written an important book. First and foremost, this book is a profound spiritual book. Burk describes the ego as a pretending tool given to us at birth that convinces us that we are individuals - not one with all other beings. With that premise in mind, Burk takes the reader through the different relationship types we all experience in life while graphically showing how we use the ego to reinforce our separation from one another. This book is filled with new information about dealing with the human condition. I was most impressed.

Kevin Burk gives realistic pointers for working through the twist and turns of relationships. This book is logical and introspective- helping hand in any relationship.

A very simple and easy to read book on a serious subject. I thoroghly enjoyed the book. It gave me much insight into relationships and has me thinking about them all the time.I don't just count to 10 when my mother annoys me anymore! The idea of the blue prints gave me something to think about and it was nice with some actual guideline on how to get from a to b. I also thought it an interresting appendix including the astrology chapters. A little more to think about in the where and whys of everything!
All in all one of the better books I have read in a good many years partly because it was easy to read, no drudgery to slow you down,but interresting making you want to find out more.

Several times I have found myself telling friends about some point or other that I read in Kevin's book. I have also recommended it to friends who are experiencing their own 'issues.' The best compliment I can give the book is that I found it a source of clarity and comfort during a very difficult time.

BTW - Kevin is a crack astrologer and has given me a superb and incisve phone reading.

There are many books that talk about meeting needs to improve relationships, but this is the only one I know of that showed me how to IDENTIFY, CLARIFY and DISCUSS my own specific needs, even gave me words to do so, based on my own birth chart. This makes it one of the most valuable and useful books I've ever read. What do YOU need to feel safe and validated? What's appropriate to expect, and how do you get these needs met successfully? Kevin Burk's Relationship Handbook will guide you on a journey of self-discovery that will change your life. Bon voyage!

The title and cover of the book explain it all.
The author covers all types of relationships, basically and completely.
As Kevin B. Burk explains at the beginning of the book, this information
is nothing you haven't heard before. But it consolidates the information
in a fun to read kind of way.

This book challenges astrology to take a more rational and less prejudice view of human behavior and for that I am grateful. It is sanity.I find that I am nearly in complete agreement with this author. My only reservation comes from the idea that synastry techniques are completely without merit. I do not agree. I think that some people are aspected better meaning that they are more likely to be psychologically compatible together. He says that anyone can get along with anyone else, which is true, but synastry is to determine the likelihood and diagnose possible areas of contention-not to make blanket predictions. Sun sign astrology is worthless. That isn't how are relationships are determined; with that stated some aspects do tend to repeat more frequently in the charts of lovers. There are statistics on this. This is well documented and to say it is not true is not entirely honest. Besides that little issue, though, I think he did a wonderful job. I think that getting When Stars Collide along with this book would help the reader gain a more balanced perceptive.
