Synopsis

True intimacy in a committed relationship often seems to be an unattainable dream. Samuels argues that not only is true intimacy in the form a faithful committed relationship possible – it is a necessity.

Written from the sensibility of a long time Zen practitioner and a trained psychiatrist, Samuels provides practical advice for not only being at one with one’s emotions but also stepping beyond the sense of self in order to find a deeper level of commitment and love.

He offers clear and practical advice on how true intimacy can be achieved and maintained but overcoming underlying barriers.
