 A loving relationship does not require work??? March 8, 2008
I disagree. Even a perfect, loving relationship with your soul mate requires some degree of work and sacrifice. Any licensed marriage counselor will tell you that. Gattuso believes that once you find your soul mate, it should take no effort to keep the love alive. Everything should fall into place without any work or sacrifice, she believes. No effort? That may work in fairy tales but not in real life! I was much younger (and single) when I read this book. I totally bought into her views, but being older and more experienced (and happily married for seven years), I know better now.
 The Common Sense of Love May 15, 2002
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've read all of Joan's works and I find them and her to be "on point" with regard to human relationships--be they intimate or familial. The temptation is to negate Ms. Gatuso's findings because he doesn't mention any "professional" credentials (whatever those are). The fact that most find the book too artistic is (by and large) a justification for the books existence. If there is anyone looking for simple ways of finding the love that is inside each of us (without the expense of therapy or prescription drugs) this book is a must read. Indeed, you will find it so useful that you will want to read it more than once.
 NEW AGE RELATIONSHIPS June 2, 2001

Read "a course in miracles" as a prerequisite to this book. "A course in miracles" is the dusty, 19th century folk-art/religious cult of Millard and Myrtle Fillmore,a typical pre-Freudian, highly artistic interperatation of Man and God. Joan's book is no less pre-Freudian, but certainly less dusty. New age writers have no proffesional credentials other than their lofty artistic impression of man's (and, ahem..., womans) divine nature. Don't look for complex answers with this book, ...unless you're intimidated by simple addition.

My favorite book on relationships with myself and others July 28, 2000
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Joan Gattuso's book "A Course in Love"is the best book on relationships I have read . The book deals basicly with finding a spiritual base for the relationship with ourselves, clearing out all the blocks to our own good, forgiving our past , and taking full responsibility for our lives. Sounds like other spiritual books on relationships? In many ways ,most new thought books like this one , do ask the reader to assume the responsibility for what occurs in his/her life. I like Joan's book because she gives the explicit tools to accomplish all of the above.She incorporates many mystical traditions , Sufi, ACourse in Miracles, Unity and many more to remind one of their spiritual inheritance. I do feel, one has to be ready and open to this understanding ,and willing to do the work she has laid out in the book. The spiritually hearty will welcome this book.The forgiveness techniques, the opening the heart meditations,and the 10% of the pyramid clearing are a few of the reasons I continually workwith the book. I am now ordering it for my daughter. Thankyou Joan, for this wonderful reminder.
