Sommario/riassunto

Many people enter into romantic relationships full of expectation and hope, only to be sorely disappointed by the realization that the partner they've selected is a flawed human being with their own neuroses, history, and desires. Most relationships end because one or both people haven't done the internal work necessary to develop self-awareness and take responsibility for their own experiences. Psychologist and relationship expert Alexandra H. Solomon introduces the idea of relational self-awareness, encouraging listeners to explore their personal history to gain an understanding of their own relational patterns, as well as their strengths and weaknesses in relationships.
