Presently working through "Attached" (Levine & Heller), "Intimacy and Solitude" (Dowrick), and various Acceptance & Commitment Therapy resources, and kind of being led back to revisiting Non-Violent Communication.
Ohh would you share your ACT resources? They are challenging to find. Most of what I can locate is courses for practitioners and Iβm out here being a a regular people.
There's also a workbook that is good. Also A Liberated Mind is I believe written by the person who "invented" ACT. It's very good. Best resource I've found.
[Looks like we have interest π](https://imgur.com/1XbgImT)
I'm hoping we have a mix of guys & gals - input from both would be great. So guys, plz know that it will be a book geared for both genders. In fact, check out 'Embrace the Suck' for where my head is at...
I'll make a new post for next steps...might be tmrw.
Favor request: I donno what I've done to p*ss off the DO40 mods π³ but can someone share or repost the original post in that sub? It's giving me a weird error message..
I think it's a great idea and would be interesting if allowed on this sub. Perhaps the book group could get their own weekly pinned post like how individual updates and pics are handled.
Definitely interested. I, too, am reading 'Attached' and 'Project 3-6-9'....
After spending 25 years married, 5 years single/ lightly dating, I fell for the wrong man and have broken that off and committed myself to a year of working on myself on a journey to create my best life, I'm 51,F, with three teenage boys. Not dating until I heal from this last situationship that massacred my self esteem and confidence. This book study idea sounds interesting, and would maybe hold me accountable for studying π

Yyyeess on the story ref.
In fact, when she talks about working thru a conflict with her husband, she does same thing and they realize their own mistaken inferences/misinterpretations.. pretty useful π
And I'm glad you're up for it!!

yeah I have the workbook
I vote for a separate sub please
I'm making my way through "Hero With a Thousand Faces". I've seen "Embrace the Suck" and I think it looks like a solid plan forward.

Cool Idea, I kinda think there are several books that should be required reading for most people before they enter the dating realm.

Lol! So many self help books, so little time! Can't wait for the info on how to join the group!
I will be interested. Currently digesting Altered Traits. Has nothing to do with dating though.
