Summary

Increase intimacy, connection, and love with this illuminating, science-based guide to creating meaningful and lasting relationships。

When it comes to building a better relationship with your partner, touch and connection matter so much more than the words that you say。 And author and therapist John Howard is here to tell us why。

'MORE THAN WORDS' shows you how to deepen love and connection in any relationship based on the latest cutting-edge research in interpersonal neurobiology, trauma-informed healing, attachment theory, and many more scientific fields。 This book explains why verbal communication may not elicit the connection you seek and offers ways to practice and form new habits that can nurture love, care, safety, comfort, and passion in relationships。

Science shows that these techniques work, but most people don’t know them yet。 You can start using these techniques today to increase intimacy and emotional connection in your closest relationships。

Mindful of all the needs of the modern individual, 'MORE THAN WORDS' is inclusive of LGBTQ+, polyamorous, and other nontraditional committed relationships and ultimately looks to elevate the way we strengthen the most important bonds in our lives。

I didn’t really get much out of this book…nothing new or intriguing。 Just a lot of common sense (insert shoulder shrug here)。

Disappointing to have a book that’s claiming to be scientific using pseudoscience like polyvagal theory。 I was also disappointed in how the author discounted how valid, important, and powerful virtual connection can be。 Seems a bit out of touch with the author trying to generalize the A-list and wealthy clients he works with。 I also expected more practical info。

This is relatable, useful advice for how to develop and maintain an intimate, connected relationship。 The ideas and principles are well-documented, but they also feel intuitively right--they organize and put into words things many of us have felt but maybe couldn't quite articulate。 The examples help readers see real-life applications of the concepts and many types of relationships are represented。 The suggested exercises are helpful and seem realistically do-able。 This would be a great read for This is relatable, useful advice for how to develop and maintain an intimate, connected relationship。 The ideas and principles are well-documented, but they also feel intuitively right--they organize and put into words things many of us have felt but maybe couldn't quite articulate。 The examples help readers see real-life applications of the concepts and many types of relationships are represented。 The suggested exercises are helpful and seem realistically do-able。 This would be a great read for anyone looking to deepen their existing relationships or even just invest in their own emotional intelligence in preparation for future relationships。 Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review! 。。。more
