Recommended Readings
We would like to recommend some books that you might find useful as a resource. The list will be revised from time to time, so we suggest you bookmark the page for future reference. Our current suggestions includes:

  1. The Art of Loving
    Erich Fromm
    Harper & Row, 1956


    The Couple Enrichment Approach™ has incorporated some of the core ideas presented in Fromm's book, namely that love is an art, an activity that requires learning and mastery through disciplined practice.

  2. Passionate Marriage
    Keeping Love & Intimacy Alive in Committed Relationships
    David Schnarch
    Fitzhenry & Whiteside Ltd., 1997

    Dr. David Schnarch's book is a daring and pioneering work that challenges couples to work together on the sexual and emotional blocks that hold them back from total satisfaction with each other. Dr. David Schnarch talks about love and intimacy in committed relationships, from the point of view of systems theory and, in particular, the concept of "differentiation". This concept is similar to "related individuality", a notion that is integral to
    The Couple Enrichment Approach™.

    [The openly direct and explicit description of sexuality in this book may be offensive to some people.]



  3. Understanding Human Nature
    Alfred Adler, 1927

    An introduction to the world of Adlerian psychology with an underlying view that human beings would live together more satisfactorily if they had more knowledge about human nature.

  4. Count Your Blessings: The Healing Power of Gratitude and Love
    Dr. John F. Demartini, Element Books, 1997

    This book teaches how to turn any stressful situation into an inspiring, life-affirming learning experience. Dr. Demartini reveals the connection between health and state of mind, the power of dreams and the importance of visualization.

  5. Staying Sane in a Crazy World
    A Guide to Rational Living
    Sherwin T. Wine
    The Centre For New Thinking, 1995


    This book offers a provocative response to the moral confusion and failure of nerve which characterises our times. Rabbi Wine describes ten steps to sanity. He challenges the reader to pursue a life without illusions and to confront an absurd and unjust world with reason, dignity and courage.

Eat For Health 2 Book Set

What constitutes a healthy diet that is actually disease protecting versus one that is disease promoting? What degree of nutritional excellence is necessary to make a diet therapeutically disease reversing? How do we measure the quality of our diet or the degree of nutritional excellence we are obtaining?


Eat For Health answers these questions with logic and science. Dr. Fuhrman presents a well-researched , highly effective and long-lasting weight loss program. But more than that -- he helps you learn to judge the nutritional quality of your diet in order to discern whether it is optimal for delivering the therapeutic effects for disease reversal and prevention.

Joel Fuhrman M.D. is a board–certified family physician with a private practice in Flemington, New Jersey, who specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutritional and natural methods.

If you want to live longer, reduce your need for medications, lose weight faster than you ever thought possible, and dramatically improve your health, you will want to read Dr. Fuhrman's
book Eat For Health.
