About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Not much is harder than figuring out how to love your partner in all their messy humanness-and there's also not much that's more important.

At a time when toxic individualism is rending our society at every level, bestselling author and renowned marriage counsellor Terrence Real sees how it poisons intimate relationships in his therapy practice, where he works with couples on the brink of disaster. The good news: warmer, closer, more passionate relationships are possible if you have the right tools.

In Us, Real shares his new science-backed skillset to transform your relationship into one that's based on compassion, collaboration and closeness. If you and your partner are backed into separate corners of 'you' and 'me', or feel like you are living 'alone together', this book will show you the way back to 'us'.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Very easy to listen to, with simple, real-life examples. It completely changed my understanding of who we are and why we are the way we are. I can’t wait to listen to more books by this author.

I love how Terence weaves his theories, thoughts, perspectives and insights to the couples he’s with. After years of being a couples therapist myself, I continue to learn something new from his writing and feel even more free to be the therapist I am.

Clear, accessible, informative, humble and human, with not an ounce of “one-up”.
