STOP BEING LONELY:
Three Simple Steps to Developing Close Friendships and Deep RelationshipsSTOP BEING LONELY:
Three Simple Steps to Developing Close Friendships and Deep Relationships
by Kira Asatryan

www.newworldlibrary.com

We’re more connected 24/7 than ever through texting, and all that the world of social media has to offer. Ironically, despite this “connectedness,” we are also more lonely. Relationship coach Kira Asatryan says we are lacking actual connection to others, something she calls “closeness.” Asatryan says that closeness is the foundation of all happy and long-lasting relationships, whether romantic, platonic, familial, or business. Stop Being Lonely explains that all relationships lie somewhere on the spectrum from distant to close — and the closer to “close,” the better the relationship.

If you post something on Facebook, 93 people may like it, but can you call any of those “friends” when you need a last minute favor? All too often we’re over-stimulated but undernourished in relationships, and the result is that we feel lonely despite all the interactions we have on and off line. Every day, we interact with people, establishing relationships as teacher, coworker, business partner, student, sibling, parent, child, colleague, and friend. Each of these relationships offers the potential for genuine connection. Closeness is unique among relationship concepts because it can be created between any two people who want it. Two simple actions can create more closeness in any relationship: knowing and caring. Learn to listen and get to know the other person; as you do this, you’ll begin to care and develop the “closeness” that is the opposite of loneliness. www.StopBeingLonely.com and www.KiraAsatryan.com.

 

MEN CHASE | WOMEN CHOOSE: The Neuroscience of Meeting, Dating, Losing Your Mind and Finding True LoveMEN CHASE | WOMEN CHOOSE: The Neuroscience of Meeting, Dating, Losing Your Mind and Finding True Love
by Dawn Maslar, MS

A question that seems as old as time comes closer to a definitive answer - What is love? In Men Chase | Women Choose: The Neuroscience of Meeting, Dating, Losing Your Mind and Finding True Love, Dawn Maslar, MS, provides insights into one of life’s most elusive and misunderstood topics by offering science-based research to help anyone discover and sustain love. The “love biologist” has been using her cutting-edge research to describe how the brain works when two people first meet, start to date, fall in love, and then move on to a more passionate, lifelong love.

Maslar explains, how love is a biological need, the “natural laws” of love, purposes of the brain’s anatomy, and how testosterone and other biochemical differences between men and women affect how we love. She reasons that once we understand how love works, we can make educated decisions, addressing:

• Does love at first sight really exist?
• Who should make the first move?
• What happens to your brain when you fall in love?
• Why won’t he commit?
• Why does love make us crazy?
• What can you do to have love that lasts a lifetime?

 

BUDDHISM FOR COUPLES: A Calm Approach for Couples
by Sarah Napthali
tarcherbooks.com

BUDDHISM FOR COUPLES: A Calm Approach for CouplesBuddhist practitioner, Sarah Napthali explores how to apply Buddhist practices to our lives so that we may learn to be more calm and self-aware in our relationships. In distressed couples, individuals typically blame each other and fail to see their own role in any problems. We sit around waiting for our partner to change, to correct their faults and see that life would be much easier if they would stop doing this and start doing that. Most likely they might be doing the exact same, and we’ve reached a stalemate driven by the negativity bias. Sound all too familiar?

Expanding upon the principles shared in Buddha’s Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path, Buddhism for Couples guides us to delve more deeply into our psyches and reflect on the state of our relationship to help prevent that most stressful of events: relationship breakdown. Written with humor and compassion, this new book provides a fresh approach to the loaded subjects of housework, anger, sex, conflict, and infidelity, and introduces Buddhist strategies that can enrich a relationship. Through mindfulness and ever-growing self-awareness, we begin to see our behavior more clearly and relate to our partner more lovingly.
