I really hope they don’t stop making this book. This is one book I feel everyone should have and read over and over. Life changing and very practical.

James Hiller 5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2000

I picked up this work walking along a table in a nationally known book chain. A plain looking cover, so unlike all the plethora of self-help books out there with a figure plastered on the front. The content is also different. Unlike books that proclaim "The Ten Best Ways to..." or "The Ten Stupid Things that...", this book offer practical and real help! In this incredible tome, LeCompte pulls together 25 years of study and research into why we behave the way we do, and what we can do about it. His premise is much of our daily actions and reactions are a result of our unconscious, based on our often inaccurate judgments of the event. He manages to cover the work of Freud, and the latest research in unconscious programing in a simple, easy to understand, and practical way! Don't be fooled by the books title; I found this book helped ME out so much personally, and how I began to deal with the complexities in the relationships around me. I am a better person for this work, and you will be as well.

Anne Melvin 5.0 out of 5 stars A spiritual approach to relationships

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2000

Andrew LeCompte has written an extremely valuable guide to improving relationships through increased empathy. Well written, well organized and clear, it has the premise that we are spiritual beings who have been programmed to be judgmental. He shows us how to overcome judgmentalism, search for our own and others' feelings and hopes, communicate them and let go of anger and resentment. There are exercises in the book that aid in increasing self awareness and improving our communication with others.

Kathleen 5.0 out of 5 stars Great

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2006

I learned a great deal from this book. I thought I knew what empathy looked like....but "true empathy" makes all the difference! A great read.

One of the best books I’ve ever read- hands down!
Study cases, accessible language despite the amount of mind work that is explained in the book.
I feel like reading it once is not enough for me, because going chapter by chapter and applying the learnt information is the toughest of this all.

Great synthesis of psychological thinkers ranging from Maslow to Freud to Carl Rogers to Goleman. Offers helpful critique of existing frameworks that still have gaps (i.e. emotional intelligence book). Concrete, helpful examples and reference tables. Community ratings 6 five-star ratings
