Monsters in Love: Why Your Partner Sometimes Drives You Crazy – and What You Can Do About It

Written by Resmaa Menakem MSW LICSW SEP

Narrated by Diana Blue

A gritty, down-to-earth guide for real-life couples

Conflict is a natural part of any intimate relationship. Yet most couples either avoid it or try to smooth over their differences. This often results in at least one partner compromising their integrity-and stunting their own growth.

Monsters in Love challenges the idea that conflict between partners is unhealthy or something to avoid. Instead, it encourages both people to stand by what they need and who they are-but to do so with compassion rather than competitiveness or vengefulness.

This book is about the reality of committed, intimate relationships, which are designed to inspire both people to grow up. It challenges some common misperceptions about what makes for a successful partnership. It also rocks the boat of psychotherapy, calling out therapists who don't bring their best to their clients.

Instead of comforting fantasies or false promises, Monsters in Love offers you and your partner a chance to make your relationship-and your lives-much bigger and more emergent.

Great book to listen to. You should give it a try.

Great book, awkward narration but what can you do. I only wish the author had read his own book. My Grandmother's Hands was so much more pleasant to listen to.
