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.

As a trained psychotherapist, I can say this book had a lot of really new insightful and helpful information for me.. helping me recognise self defeating patterns, and the how and why we developed them, plus much more,

Fantastic, insightful book

Refine your understanding.

This book is full with examples and will allow you to build and work towards level 5.

After reading this book I changed my understanding of relationship with my wife. I feel that it probably saved us.

Enriching book

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”.

I discovered this work by chance through one line in a Richard Schwartz book. I have no idea why this book hasn’t been championed in the UK as the best and most insightful book on relationships ever written. I was staggered by the author’s blend of insight, humour and practical wisdom. It’s not just a couple’s book but a way to enhance your interaction with everyone. Thank you Terry Real for a life so well spent in helping us to act like ‘us’. What a gift.

A staggering work
