Publisher's summary

Everyone faces the challenges of making relationships work. Whether with spouses, family members, friends, lovers, or colleagues, relationships have the power to make one feel happy, frustrated, or miserable. In Relationship Breakthrough, Cloe Madanes - an expert in creating healing, empowering relationships - gives listeners vital tools to transform their relationships and their lives. Madanes's cutting-edge methods produce real results and create rewarding, sustainable relationships. Using simple, step-by-step exercises and drawing on the examples of clients who have benefited from this technique, Relationship Breakthrough teaches listeners how to:

  • Overcome life's inevitable losses
  • Resolve long-standing family conflicts
  • Synchronize their needs with those of others
  • Create outstanding relationships in every area of their lives

This is the only book that ties the guiding principles of Tony Robbins's work with Cloe Madanes's revolutionary approach to relationship therapy. Our connections with the people in our lives have the capacity to bring us great joy, if only we understood the fundamental needs we all have, but sometimes express differently. Drawing on her trademark wisdom, empathy, and extensive clinical experience, Madanes shows listeners how to better understand their own needs and those of others, bringing clarity and insight into any relationship.

Disappointed

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I really enjoyed the information. However throughout the book they spoke of the questionnaire at the end that would help you to identify which are your primary basic needs that you seek to fulfill. The questionnaire wasn't read. :( So now I also need the printed version if I want to get the information that was meant to be had.

Meh. Some pearls, but ultimately not worth it.

Would you try another book from Cloe Madanes and Anthony Robbins and/or Aimee Jolson?

Maybe. This one came to me on the recommendation of a friend.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

There were a few "pearls". Like little one liners that helped understand relationships a bit better, but ultimately, it is mostly just stories about this couple and that couple doing this and that for their marriage. Anecdotal kind of stuff that is hard to boil down into something useful. There were also these constant lists or steps of things. "five steps" of whatever, "six needs of everyone", and so on. Lists are a helpful learning tool, but an overused tool is self-defeating.

What didn’t you like about Aimee Jolson’s performance?

Kind of boring. Very little enthusiasm in the voice.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No, but a movie is certainly a lot less of a time commitment.

Any additional comments?

If you have a free credit and have a shaky relationship, give it a try. It might be helpful to you, but it was only marginally helpful for me.

Should have noticed that Anthony Robbins was NOT the narrator.

Nice and very and polite/pleasant voice, but with none of the inspiration or energy of Tony Robbins.

Sigh

I extremely rarely write a review, unless it made a big impact!!

The last hour summaries the book, outstanding book!! You need to get this regardless if you already have a boyfriend/girlfriend. It can be any relationship- parents, kids, cousins, friends, wife/husband, anything. It talks about our six needs as humans.

Bland psychobabble

I have a ridiculously long list of books on Audible. I go through podcasts and audiobooks voraciously. I almost never abandon a book before completing it.

I only got about halfway through this book before I stopped. I couldn't deal with it anymore.

The book appears to be random psychobabble where the author makes up unnecessary new terms and concepts, interspersed with stories of how great she is as a therapist. There is no entertainment, no personality, no humility and precious little in terms of practical takeaways listeners can use. The author would be well served by reading better books, such as Non Violent Communication.

I do NOT recommend this book. There are many better works out there, so don't waste your time.

Very interesting and enlightening book.

The voices and their narration, accent, clarity, modulation is fantastic. It is as if you are reading it on your own. The contents of book are very very helpful in understanding and navigating through relationships.
