the truth an uncomfortable book about relationships

They decide to split up and Neil explores different types of relationships by getting more involved in polyamorous communities. So, Neil admits himself to a sex addiction treatment facility to cure his problem getting his own desires met even when it means hurting those close to him.Īfter a year of work trying to cure his sex addiction, Neil feels worse about himself than ever and continues to have desires of being with other women even though he truly loves his wife Ingrid. He learned all these skills to finally attract the right woman into his life only to then go and cheat on her. The book starts with Neil’s personal journey to understand why he would have cheated on his wife when the relationship was perfect. Constantly pursue a path of self-improvement to present the best version of yourself to your partner. The secret? Your relationship with yourself is the ultimate indicator of how your relationships with others will be. I see The Truth as a prequel to The Game where Neil picks up the baton and learns how a mature, well-adjusted human can approach relationships with another person. I see The Game (Neil’s first relationship book) as the first installment of Neil’s personal relationship journey where he discovers how to attract the right partner.

Neil is an expert in the sense that he has supplemented book knowledge with on-the-streets experience from his own personal journey through every type of relationship possible and came out of the other side in a better place. Often, a relationship expert may be thought of as someone with a Psychology degree who studied relationship dynamics in school and then opened a private practice to help console married couples. You and I may have different definitions of the word expert. Book: The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships – Neil Strauss
