5.0 out of 5 stars Sensible guidelines to waking up your relationships, October 26, 1998

By A Customer

I found Dr Rankin's book 10 Steps to a Great Relationship really helpful and enjoyable. It has always seemed to me that people use the word "love" in many different confusing ways and the book helped me understand what love really is. I liked the author's easy style, case histories and humor and I especially appreciated his non-judgmental tone and useful techniques that helped me assess my strengths and weaknesses as well as giving me practical suggestions about how I could improve in love.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's all about understandings., March 20, 2000

By A Customer

Understandings are important for any relationships. Having gone through step 1 to 10 in the book, I started to understand more what love really is, what I can/cannot control, and what to expect in my relationship. In fact, applying what I've learned from the book with my real-life relationship, I have puzzled out one frustrating issue inside my wife's unconscious mind about fear and insecurity. Once I made sense out of it and explain to her, things are really improving now.

Hannibal was fantastic! You can't put it down. The story twists in ways you cannot imagine. If you love thrillers, this is the book for you...but don't read it when your alone! It's scary!!
