Turning Into Each Other: Relationship Dynamics on G. I. Gurdjieff’s Enneagram Kindle Edition

As the poet once asked: "What is Love?"Interestingly, this book is not so much about Love as about loving, with emphasis on the "ing" part——so, it is an action, a process. Turning into Each Other explores the evolving nature of love and relationships, emphasizing that real Love is a process rather than a feeling. This process is that of relationships, and, from my experience, it works equally well as a guide for couple relationships and group relationships (I've used the book as a guide for both). Many people believe that commitment to a partner or a project will naturally lead to happiness, but the book argues that love requires effort, self-awareness, and adaptation.The book asserts that lasting love requires transcending personal limitations, embracing change, and recognizing love as a shared journey rather than a fixed state. Through challenges, couples and/or work groups can transform their relationship into something more profound, moving beyond romantic idealism or functional efficiency and "spiritual" self-deception into a partnership built on mutual understanding and continuous evolution.Reading this book to me felt like having a conversation with a wise friend—one who's been around the block a few times and wants to help you navigate your own path. The insights here aren't sugar-coated, but they're real, grown from personal experience and work, and that's very much the point.Leonardo Requejo, Ph.D.Cuernavaca, MéxicoMarch 2025 Read more
