David emphasizes that the goal of the RJ is not simply to learn how to transform troubled, adversarial relationships into loving ones, but also how to achieve Interpersonal Enlightenment, which is the empowering but shocking realization that we are creating our own interpersonal reality\\u2014for better or worse\\u2014at every moment of every day! And although the reward of the RJ is greater love and joy in your daily living, the price is steep\\u2014it requires the death of the ego, which the Buddhists have called \\u201cthe Great Death!\\u201d

Together, David and Fabrice walk you through the five steps in the RJ, using real examples of individuals David has worked with in his workshops for the general public or for mental health professionals. One vignette involves a woman who complained bitterly that her husband had been relentlessly critical of her for 25 years. She said she came to the workshop because she wanted to know why men are like that. She found out why her husband was so critical, but the answer was not the one she expected!

The other vignette involved a minister\\u2019s wife who complained that her husband was overly \\u201cnice\\u201d and unable to deal with negative feelings. As a result, she said their marriage was superficial and lacking in intimacy. She discovered precisely why their relationship was superficial\\u2014but it wasn\\u2019t exactly the answer she was looking for!
