Being One: Finding Our Self in Relationship Book

Being One sheds light on the meaning of our quest for love and relationship in all aspects of human life: marriage, family, and work. The book distinguishes itself from the myriad of writings on how to find a partner, how to improve your relationship, how to stay married, etc., by helping us to see that we are already profoundly connected to the people in our lives. As he does in his previous best-selling book, Doing Nothing: Coming to the End of the Spiritual Search, Harrison digs deeply into our assumptions and beliefs about our culture and ourselves and delivers insight. Being One does not suggest one more better way to relate, but points out that the clutter of solutions to relationship problems simply adds to the burden. Harrison describes how we spend our life looking for something that is right in front of us--our inherent oneness, our sense of connection and love. Being One says that giving up the attempt to construct relationship through any traditional maneuver reveals the fact of unity---and allows us to find our Self in relationship. Those who were inspired by his first book, Doing Nothing, will find new value in Being One. In this beautiful and profound book, Harrison shows us that it is only in accepting our aloneness that we can truly be in relationship with others.Read More
