Indigo Skies -- News & Reviews

Kudos to Ruiz for writing another great book that’s also a quick read! The lowest rating anyone has given it is a 3 out of 5 stars, which is amazing. It’s not your typical relationship book, it’s not going to tell you how to settle your argument about who should take out the trash, who's behaving poorly, or a fool proof way to find your soul mate. It will take you down a path of how you develop relationships, starting from the beginning of your emotional life to now. Then it describes to you how to re-examine your current relationships.

I really enjoyed the stories that typically start most chapters and the creative examples he uses to get his point across. “The Perfect Relationship” has the dog

example “The dog is responsible for its half of the relationship with you. One half of the relationship is completely normal - the dog's half, When you come home, it barks at you, it wags it tail, it pants because it’s so happy to see you. It does its part very well, and you know it’s the perfect dog.” He goes on to say because your expectation of the dog is to be a dog and nothing more, it is a perfect relationship. How many relationships do you have where you only expect a person to be who they are and nothing more?

The chapters are filled with great points about emotional development and “wounds” we acquire through the life process. In the end, he sums it up that finding heaven is about finding truth, forgiveness, and self-love.

I feel there’s other books that cover similar material that have moved me more passionately than “The Mastery of Love” most of those take longer to read and are a little more abstract. I recommend this book to anyone recovering from a breakup, or coming from a "I can’t find the love I’m looking for" point of view. For anyone else, it’s still a good book :-)

Four out of Five stars for great messages, good dialogue and length. Minus one star for not blowing me away with some sort of deep feeling or passion.
