Emotional literacy is the ability to understand one's own feelings and to empathize with those of others in a way which enhances living - it is now recognized as an important factor in leading a happy and balanced existence. in Achieving Emotional Literacy Dr. Claude Steiner has written an authoritative guide to increasing emotional intelligence and ultimately achieving a stable, emotionally-based approach to life. Dr. Steiner has created an easy-to-follow three-stage training programme- firstly he shows how to open the heart with specific techniques directed at breaking down the barriers which separate us from our feelings. Next, you learn how to recognize your feelings and express them productively, and how to listen with empathy as others express their emotions. Finally he shows us how to take responsibility - by means of defining any problems in relationships, admitting our role in these problems and making meaningful changes. These training methods are based on Steiner's research and 20 years of experience in emotional literacy - real-life examples reinforcing the theories appear throughout the book.

Look, MAN: This book is designed for those who want to feel comfortable being friends and lovers of the women in their life; for men who want long-lasting and secure relationships, and still sexually fulfilling and exciting; and most importantly, for men who want to be loving, sexy and, let's just say it, sweet. Listen, WOMAN: This book will tell to the men in your life what you women of today probably want from your friends, lovers and partners, and how a man can become the one that today's woman seeks and appreciates. “When a Man Loves a Woman was written to show how feminism could either make heterosexual relationships more contentious and confusing, or more exciting and rewarding, depending on how men reacted to it. Today, I am reexamining the issues which I explored in that book and reflecting the more complex realities of the new century. The fundamental question is the same: How can a good man make and keep a deep, meaningful and loving relationship with an emancipated woman?”
