The Seven Levels of Intimacy: The Art of Loving and the Joy of Being Loved

This book was referred by a colleague in the faculty. If there is one thing that human beings crave for and can't live without, that's intimacy. We all yearn for an authentic experience of intimacy and Mr. Kelly in his lucid presentation started the book by showing how the four aspects of a person namely, physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual affects intimacy and vice versa. Mr. Kelly's simple and direct-to-the-point explanations display deep wisdom and practical guidance about relationships in terms of the seven levels of intimacy -cliches, facts, opinions, feelings, hopes & dreams, faults & failures, and legitimate needs. It's a good read for anyone who wants to go deeper with their relationships. ( )

This book grabbed my attention from page one...and now I find myself putting post-it note reminders of different points up around my house. It's given me a new appreciation for the people in my life, and made me rock solid in what I want out of relationships in the future. If you've ever felt like your relationships fell short or were empty altogether this book is a great resource for addressing that issue. ( )
