The simple, yet profound wisdom that is contained in this book will truly change the way you experience relationships, and is unprecedented by any other relationship genre book this reviewer has ever come across. As a relationships counselor myself, I found many amazing ways to help my clients, as well as the relationships in my own personal life, including my relationship with myself. The transforming information this book contains cuts through old ideas and past beliefs that we tend to focus on, and allows us to enter into an almost alchemical transformation into the here and now. Years of therapy cannot touch what the Kanes can do in minutes. It's all about getting down to the truth, observing in a non-judgmental way, and learning to be honest in the present tense. As the Kanes invite you into the magical world of their individual consulting sessions and seminars, you will hear about true case stories where people have made remarkable changes in their relationships. You will discover the key elements that will take your relationships out of the ordinary and mundane, and sky rocket them into the realm of the miraculous - instantaneously!
