Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A radical, "crystalline" (Elle) approach to integrating our work, relationships, and inner selves from the bestselling author, poet, and speaker.

The author of Crossing the Unknown Sea and The Heart Aroused encourages readers to reimagine how they inhabit the worlds of love, work, and self-understanding. Whyte suggests that separating these "marriages" in order to balance them is to destroy the fabric of happiness itself. Drawing from his own struggles and the lives of some of the world's great writers and artists-from Dante to Jane Austen to Robert Louis Stevenson-Whyte explores the ways these core commitments are connected. Only by understanding the journey involved in each of the three marriages and the stages of their maturation, he says, can we understand how to bring them together in one fulfilled life.

Synopsis:

An allusive and integrative approach to individual, romantic, and career fulfillment ("Library Journal"), "The Three Marriages" explores the ways these core commitments are connected and how to bring them together into one fulfilled life.

For anyone seeking guidance of how our essential relationships with other, self, and community can nurture, enrich, and inform each other, this book is a beacon. Innovative "conclusions" at the end of each chapter offer moments of insight and clarity. It's also beautifully composed.
