Stop working on yourself as an individual and start working on your relationship as a couple, with the help of therenowned family therapist andbestselling author of The New Rules of Marriage "A beautiful and important book, particularly for the moment we are in. "-BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, from the foreword At a time when toxic individualism is rending our society at every level, bestselling author and renowned marriage counselor Terrence Real sees how it poisons our most intimate relationships in his therapy practice where he works with couples on the brink of disaster. The good news- warmer, closer, more passionate relationships are possible if you have the right tools. Recent neurobiology shows that the mind exists in a social context, and couples co-regulate one another' s nervous systems. But it' s hard to get that delicate dance right if you, like so many people, grew up without adequate emotional support. The techniques you developed to survive a dysfunctional family as a kid-the very skills that probably bring you success in your career-will torch your personal relationships. Us is a groundbreaking guide to a new science-backed skillset-one that will allow you to get past your kneejerk reactions and tap into your wiser, more collaborative self. With a novelist' s flair, Real shares the stories of real couples whose relationships have been saved by these skills and pans out to the cultural landscape that reinforce our dysfunction. If you and your partner are backed into separate corners of "you" and "me," this book will show the way back to "us. " With Us, your real relationship can begin.

D, New York Times bestselling author of Resilient "Love has the power to hurt but it also has the power to heal, and Terry Real shows us how in this revolutionary guide to happy, thriving couplehood.

"-Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone "This is a wonderful, wise, and witty book, consistent with cutting edge science and filled with soul and practical advice that can inspire us to discover who we can become together. "-Daniel J. Siegel, MD,New York Times bestselling author, Brainstorm and IntraConnected "In his previous books, Terry Real awakened us to the fact that most men are not relational. In Us, he not only elaborates on that thesis but, with the writing of a good novelist, brings his approach to transforming men and couples to life. Share this book with your partner and then talk about what it brings up. It may be one of the most painful but also important conversations of your life.
