Of all the things we hold dear, the most important are the intimate relationships we share with those whom we love. Throughout our time we strive for connection, compassion, understanding, and ultimately, a bond between hearts and minds. A relationship should be treasured as the jewel in our life. This book is about intimate relationships, yet many of these tools can be applied to other relationships in your life. The key to nurturing all relationships is feeding the connection. Do you want to know how to do that? Then follow Gurutej on a great adventure through the pages of this book. Think of it as a treasure hunt—you are the treasure. Use these tools to unearth and discover yourself.

This is also a workbook. Go through it at your own pace. Doing something once is great, but really building a relationship with anyone takes time. Steady work will help you emerge so much brighter, more powerful, and capable of loving and being loved. Sound good? Then make a commitment to incorporate these practices into your life for at least forty days, preferably one hundred twenty days, to create a shiny new you and a shiny new habit.
