Description

Why do you repeat the same mistakes in your relationships? Why do you always end up in the same dead ends? "Relationship School" is not just a book. It is a deep dive into the most important factor in every relationship: you. Marea Lautari invites you to look honestly within yourself and gives you the tools to change not only your relationships, but also yourself.

This book is a living guide that speaks to you directly and guides you step-by-step to build the relationships you deserve, starting from the most important one: the relationship with yourself.

This book is for you if...

  • ..you feel that your relationships are dysfunctional and you keep repeating the same patterns you learned at home.
  • ...you want to understand why, even though you start with the best intentions, your relationships often end in disappointment.
  • ...you are ready to take personal responsibility, because you realize that if you are to blame, then you also have the control to change the situation.
  • ...you are looking for practical tools, knowledge and exercises that work, instead of just theory.

What will help you improve?

This book will give you therapeutic insights to improve:

  • Your understanding of why you do what you do, by exploring the 6 human needs that explain your actions.
  • Your ability to recognize your "hidden unhealed traumas" that affect your reactions. 
  • The belief that you can change the outcome of your relationship, even if your partner is not actively participating in the change. 
  • Your relationship with yourself, because a good relationship is not made up of two halves, but of two whole people.

The Method: What to Expect?

Marea Lautari offers you a lively and interactive school. Inside the book you will find:

  • A direct approach that makes you feel as if the author is right next to you, talking with you.
  • Exercises and questions that guide you to create your own personal "Relationships School notebook/workbook".
  • Simple and understandable examples that explain complex dynamics, such as "Communicating Vessels" and the "1+1=8" theory.
  • Practical advice and tools that you can apply immediately to see results.

The opinion of the experts

Suzanna Papafagou (Clinical developmental psychologist, Psychoanalytic psychotherapist) writes in the preface of the book: "What I loved about this book is not only the depth of knowledge but also its practical application. The author [...] offers the reader a roadmap to transform their relationships from turbulent to thriving."

About the Author

Marea Lautari is a Communication Specialist and the first Certified Strategic Intervention Coach of the Robbins-Madanes Training Organization in Greece. For more than 14 years, she has been professionally involved in personal and professional development, with a particular passion and expertise in personal relationships. Through this book, she shares the most useful information and the most effective tools that she teaches in her trainings.

Read an excerpt

“I want you to think of the simplest, most basic arithmetic operation: 1+1=2. If this operation symbolizes your relationship, where the first unit (1) is you and the second unit (1) is your partner, then the result you currently bring to your relationship is two (2). [...] So, what would happen if you, the first unit, after reading the book [...] changed, and changed very quickly? What if your 1 became 3 or 4 or even 7? In the latter case, the result would be: 7+1=8. So instead of 2, now you have a result of 8! An 8 that is higher, expanded, better, and all this without your partner’s participation.”

    I will simply write that whatever stage you are at in your life, it is worth reading this book, and not just once but several times..
    We completely ignore many things about relationships.
    This book truly helps.
    Congratulations to the author once again.

    Okay, one of the best books I've read about relationships (and I've read many!). It has a holistic approach, excellently framed and tailored to current concerns and situations. It includes very practical exercises that helped me see things differently and calm the monster inside me when it tries to create a fuss over nothing.

    It made me smile how many references she makes to her own name in the book in the context of her clients asking her questions like "Ms. Lautari, I can't understand." which is a nice marketing trick to remember her name, but it fits with the whole!

    For the well-read, it has nice reminders. For newcomers in the field of relationships, it will open your eyes and heart...and perhaps save your relationship. I would say this book is an essential ally for all of us! I've already gifted it to a friend and bought another for my library. Hugs!
