"This is a stunning book. With page-turning flair and brilliant insights, Terry Real exposes the hyper-individualism that ruins relationships--and shows us many effective ways to move from 'me' to 'we.' A masterpiece from a master psychotherapist."--Rick Hanson, Ph.D, New York Times bestselling author of Resilient

"Love has the power to hurt but it also has the power to heal, and Terry Real shows us how in this revolutionary guide to happy, thriving couplehood. Chock-full of wisdom, research, and innovative teachings, Us is the book every human should read in order to truly understand not just their partners, but themselves."--Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

"In his previous books, Terry Real awakened us to the fact that most men are not relational. In Us, he not only elaborates on that thesis but, with the writing of a good novelist, brings his approach to transforming men and couples to life. Share this book with your partner and then talk about what it brings up. It may be one of the most painful but also important conversations of your life."--Richard Schwartz, PhD, developer of the Internal Family Systems model of psychotherapy
