Journey of the Heart: Intimate Relationship and the Path of Love

"Extraordinarily good....A saving grace." -- --Ashley Montagu, author of TouchingAfter reading Welwood's book, you come away refreshed because Journey of the Heart is a handbook on life. -- Peninsula Times Tribune, February 10, 1991As our spiritual growth brings new awareness to our lives, it also brings up deeper questions, not the least of which concerns our love relationships. John Welwood explores intimate relationships in depth, with insight and eye-opening wisdom. This is no dry treatise of 'shoulds' and 'oughts'-- it's an 'Aha!' experience every step of the way. -- Body Mind Spirit, June, 1991John Welwood has created a truly classic text for those seeking a deeply fulfilling relationship. With extraordinary insight and consummate writing skill, he charts a pioneering course in Journey of the Heart. Fortunately, this unique book does not provide the traditional easy answers or quick fixes; it gives instead superb suggestions for joining in the most powerful and spiritual union possible. Journey of the Heart may be the best book ever written about relationships-- a must read for spiritual seekers. -- Personal Pathways, Winter, 1993What a delight to read this thoughtful, inspiring, ambitious book... This book is a gem...[It] is highly utilitarian, intellectually satisfying and inspiring. It can help us get through the day and glimpse the sacred. -- Common Boundary, January, 1991Where can we go to find serious and informed reflection on the turbulent and confused waters beneath our search for intimacy, our deep human need for a life companion, a soul-mate, a lover? I have found such a place, in the pages of John Welwood's new book, Journey of the Heart. Alongside so much simplistic nonsense written about relationships, this book stands out as a poetically-written, wisdom-filled guide to a deeper understanding of the desires and directions of the human heart. How rare and satisfying it is to find such a book, which takes seriously the reader's desire for truth and light in the perplexing area of intimate relationships. -- Pilgrimage, September, 1990--This text refers to an alternate Paperbackedition.
