Love Games: How to Deepen Communication, Resolve Conflict, and Discover Who Your Partner Really is

"Games are for kids, " one might think, but learning experts disagree. Through games, we discover -- young and old -- how to get along with others: in school, in the workplace, and at home. In Love Games Mark Robert Waldman reminds us how deeply rewarding and entertaining game-playing can be.

Included here are more than one hundred ways to develop intimacy, improve communication, resolve conflicts, and enhance sexual and recreational activities. Whether played with a partner, a family member, a friend, or even alone, these games range from the serious -- learn how to redirect an emotional confrontation into a productive encounter in five minutes or less -- to the outrageously fun -- explore personal values and sexual taboos by creating an erotic fantasy with a seductive alien creature.

Drawing upon well-established techniques used by authorities such as M. Scott Peck, Margo Anand, John Gray, Jack Kornfield, Caroline Myss, and Thich Nhat Hanh, Love Games offers practical ways to work through relationship problems and use imagination to open up unexplored avenues of love.
