WARNING: You will not work with this book – this book works with you. This book is filled with memetic viruses – ideas that swarm through every level of your thinking, replacing any ideas they find that are formulated with less clarity. Your mind will not digest this book. This book digests your mind. If you do not want your present ideas about relationship seriously reordered, do not read this book.

This hard-hitting and innovative book about man-woman relationship immediately challenges the deceptions about love and intimacy rampant in today’s patriarchal culture. At the same time, Radiant Joy Brilliant Love reveals a step-by-step process for discovering and living out alternative possibilities.

The author claims that even the “best” of our relationships are still generally basic level; what he calls “Ordinary Human Relationship.” He asserts that two more domains remain to be explored: namely, Extraordinary Human Relationship and Archetypal Love. The book shows exactly how to enter these new domains, and how to stay there long enough to cultivate genuine intimacy, nurturance, excitement and satisfaction together.

The material for this book is startlingly original and fresh, directly distilled from over thirty years of trial, error and reevaluation within seminars and trainings conducted by the author in the U.S. and Europe. The essential teaching tools are “Thought-Maps” that illustrate and guide the dynamics of evolving relationship, coupled with a series of experiments/“explorations” to be undertaken alone or with one’s partner.

Radiant Joy Brilliant Love does not merely talk about ideas. Rather, based on the author’s skillful, and even shamanic, use of language, the book seeks to replace old ways of thinking with new “memes”— fundamental design instructions for the structure of our minds. These memes are capable of transmitting a kind of deep clarity that allows the reader to immediately apply new possibilities. Readers will experience, first hand, what they are doing to undermine self and relationship, and learn how they can create something entirely different.

A challenging book, full of both precise direction and helpful inspiration. Radiant Joy Brilliant Love is not for the naïve man or woman who believes the fantasy of an automatic “happily ever after.” As long-term couples have discovered, love is built, not found. For those who are willing to pay the price—in self-reflection, honesty, listening and risking—this book will be an invaluable source of guidance in the building of a new foundation, and serve as a witness to the reality that human love is limitless.

Radiant Joy Brilliant Love is a rite of passage, an activation that enables you to choose a life of personal responsibility, through clarity, maturity, generosity and fun!

Radiant Joy Brilliant Love is full of tested tools – including innovative distinctions, over 70 thought-maps, and dozens of practical experiments that can be tried alone or with your partner.

The book’s first challenge: “If you could learn to create intimacies that lead directly to true love would you be willing to start over again in relationship?”

Suitable for couples, families, university classes, men’s and women’s groups, study groups, rite of passage, therapists, counselors, communication coaches, consultants, healers, teachers, business managers, leaders and trainers.
