Real Love by Dr. Greg Baer

Real Love: The Truth About Finding Unconditional Love & Fulfilling Relationshipsis a must read for anyone. Dr Baer does an excellent job of articulating what needs to be done to change one’s relationships from being self-centered and frustrating to “other focused” and fulfilling. When I first read this book a few years ago, I immediately ordered a copy for Olu. There are many principles in this book that you may already know or even are practicing but just reading about them and getting them organised will really move you along on your path towards a more fulfilling relationship.

Three things that stood out for me from this book:

  1. Everyone needs unconditional love and they are willing to do anything to get it. If you learn how to love unconditionally you will not only be happy, you will become a source of happiness for the people around you.
  2. If you are not happy in your marriage or other relationship, the problem is not the other. The problem is you! You don’t need others to make you happy
  3. We try to “buy” love by becoming angry, withdrawing, lying or complaining. These actions only get us “imitation love” which is never satisfactory.

  1. Unconditionally love-its interesting how everyone graves it but not everyone wants to give it. We always have reservations either consciously or unconsciously.With God its very possible i wonder if it is possible with us.
    I guess i need to get the book. 🙂

  2. When I first gone to USA, this was a first book, what I bought ,that time I understand everything…..

    Example:
    I thought”I will be happy when finished the university”,,,,
    but didn’t..
    “I will be happy as a surgeon”,,, didn’t
    “I will be happy as a plasticsurgeon but didn’t.
    I will e happy after marriege…but didn’t
    etc..
    You will be happy, when you can give, you can love others.
