ROOTS of SWEET RELATIONSHIPS - A PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE : Master the Art & Science of Healing, Improve Mental health, Nurture Emotional Intimacy & develop long Lasting relationships

One of the best books I have read on this sensitive topic of relationships. The author has adopted a direct-to-the-point writing style, which comes in handy in the contemporary scenario when everyone is hard-pressed for time.The book analyzes the cause & effect relationship of our social interactions via real-life examples. and offers effective solutions to work around them. The author's expertise in psychology coupled with the ample experience of counseling over 2 decades is very much evident from the writing style, where the theory is explained with the help of everyday examples & anecdotes. I really liked the depth in which ego-states have been discussed, the theory of "Transactional Analysis ", and the recommended communication styles in social interactions. There is no fluff, hence the book engages you. I was able to finish it in one go, thanks to the simplistic approach for conveying not so simple concepts.

Dr. Swatantra Jain the renounced psychologist have yet again enlightened us with her thorough understanding on relationships. The book is very precise, talks in simple language with easy to understand examples. A must read for everyone since we all deal with relationships and come across situations which if handled properly can effect our relationships greatly. And the books helps in doing just that!

I recently got an opportunity to read this book by the renowned psychologist-Dr. Swantantra Jain.The book talks about relationships in social interactions, the pitfalls, and ways to overcome them.The author has integrated her academic brilliance and practical experience in this book to offer some really effective techniques.The book offers numerous anecdotes from every day life, some of which are her personal experiences.The incident at shoe shop used to explain the communication styles really resonated with me.

The vitality of human relationships in contemporary scenario is well understood.However mostly we limit its interpretation to close circle of family and friends. This book transcends those conventions and takes you to the world of social relationships and the importance therefore  off.It doesn't just scratches the surface but litererally goes in to the roots of it. Like me, if matters and manners of mind interest you than this book will make a lot of sense.

It's a good book on relationships that focuses deeply on the causes leading to strained relationships. While most of us are concerned and overly bothered about the effects, here you get to see the simulations and some of the real life scenarios clearly explaining the cause & effect dynamics. The importance of communication and how to  master that  skill without actually giving in really made a lot of sense to me.

What I really like about the book is it's simplicity. The way essentials of relationships have been explored in the book is simply amazing.The concept of ego states was something new and the myraid examples helped me in understanding it better. I liked it and would recommend it to anyone looking to build strong connections socially.

I feel everyone must read and ponder on the very important aspects of relationship with family, neighbours and the society in which we live. The writer has presented many aspects of our behaviour which can make or break the other person with our contacts.We expect certain things from other towards us but do we care that others also need something from us. The language is simple easy to understand. I am sure the reader will find the content very interesting and will introspect his or her own.

Have just finished reading this engrossing book written in very simple language. Why do certain relationships ( The root cause) ,be it between husband and wife , between close friends or office colleagues or Boss go sour? Well this book amazingly covers it all. I loved the flow of the book and finished the book in one go- didn’t feel the need to pause. I recommend this book to those looking for “ why! Why!! Why!!! ‘ did it happen and how can I prevent the desaster of losing a happy relationship just go for it.
