Well-Being Writ Large

It is a "biography" of a deeper understanding of the nature of the human being-of how that human being might live better in her or his world. Book jacket.

Coupling... What Makes Permanence?
Originally published in 1991, the theme for this title is the exploration of the components of lasting, long-term relationships. It begins with the first part of an interview between Sheldon Starr and Virginia Satir, made in 1985 and is followed by a comment on that interview by the Editor. Other chapters discuss the subject of falling in love and the notion of ¿being in love¿ as distinguished from ¿a love relationship¿. The authors, including some who have been married for many years themselves, look at the many aspects that make long-term relationships successful. The chapters range in essence from ¿What is love?¿ to ¿How is love maintained?¿. This title aims to share the information the authors have gained, about what makes coupling work, with society as a whole.
