I'm just curious if anyone here has (or how many of you have) actually taken that extra step for your own sakes and the sakes of your partners and tried to learn some experts' advice on conflict resolution and communication and whatnot. They're actually really interesting if you haven't, I recommend trying a few if you have the time. Just make sure the book you read is written by someone actually married/maintaining a relationship, has not been divorced, and is happy in there relationship. You know what they say about fools and their money (easily departed). The best way to depart a fool from his money money?? Write a self help book!!

There are so many thousands of those books you can't really say they ALL don't work. Besides, it's what you make of them. I'm sensing a big lack of patience and respect so I'm guessing that might be why those books didn't work for some people. But I'm no expert so that opinion shouldn't count for much.

I don't need to eat a thousand lima beans to know they are disgusting.
I've leafed through my fair share of those books, and they have several things in common. They are useless, dull, and serious waste of time. |

I think it's very sad that hardly anyone on here is willing to try to help themselves and their future relationships by reading books on the subject; even if it doesn't work, at least then you'll know. How many people didn't end up with the person they really wanted to, if only because they didn't have the right insight that a book could have provided? You have to admit it's at least worth a try, right? Books are formed opinions of the writer, typically through education or experience...either or, two situations are never the same and never include the same or even similiar circumstances. Trial by fire, life is the best lesson...regardless of what a book may tell you. Personally I've never read any relationship guidance book or whatever...as loo said, they burn well. |

I have read several books about relationships and self help books. I have read books about why we pick the same kind of partners and why are we "basement dwellers?" I have done several work books and I honestly don't think they have helped me.
I think the thing that helps me the most in a relationship with someone is just to write in my journal. I have actually kept a journal for a very long time, my friends tell me that I need to change the names to protect the guilty

I read one almost 20 years ago called, "Struggle For Intimacy" by Janet Woititz...........I learned a lot about myself from it.....

I as well don't think relationship help books are good for anything. I do however read up on more general topics... like body language, personality types etc. those can help in your everyday life, not just relationships... like how to deal with different kinds of people...
my 2 cents |

Ive read numerous books on human relationships and self help. Ive come to the conclusion that most people are retards!!  I tend to agree with Gypsy on that one Jo-Mamma is a Retard, But how dose Gypsy feel about Goats, I mean I never new a Goat that was not good for something...

They're actually really interesting if you haven't, I recommend trying a few if you have the time. I've never read one. Perhaps that's a reason why I am single. But then again, any kind of rules set out by someone in one of those books are usually things that go completely against the kind of person I am. For instance.., Rule # Whatever....a first date should be done in a quiet place. Dinner....quiet conversation...blah blah blah... I recently took someone out and OUR first date was at the Theory Of A Deadman concert....lol |
