The book deals with that difficult and painful subject, how to let go of all the pretense, the false assurance, the polite white lies, and try to be authentic in our feelings and dealings with each other. Even in intimate relationships, it is not easy to let go of all the defenses we have built up, often for good reasons, but which stand in the way of truly understanding each other. The author shows with a number of different examples, how hard it can be to be true to our own deep emotions - once we even understand them ourselves - and how liberating it is, when we succeed. The text is ordered in easily digested short chapters, accompanied by carefully selected pictures that underline the author's points.
