The Practice of Love. A Mindful Approach to Restoring and Developing Relationships

A new author’s method that will help you create lasting relationships and restore lost closeness.

Relationships are what determines our sense of happiness and well-being. We understand perfectly well how important relationships are, and many are willing to work on them—but despite the large number of couples’ therapy methods and self-help books, the divorce rate remains at 50%, and the number of couples where partners report lower satisfaction with their relationships is growing. So what’s the reason?

Licensed family and marriage therapist Lair Torrent found that until now there isn’t a universal methodology that couples could use on their own (outside the therapist’s office), yet deep and effective enough to truly help partners overcome complex problems.

Lair offers exactly such a method. It combines the foundations of Western psychology with deep inner work rooted in mindfulness practices and Buddhism, in the “Five Connection Practices.” The author teaches partners to identify which parts of their “selves” emerge in moments when the relationship is tested—and how to develop their best “selves” to build the connections needed for stable and happy partnership.
