Relational Power on audio; Request for feedback

January 26, 2023 By marc Leave a Comment

The latest Relational Power v1.21 now comes with a free audiobook! This was quite a journey, by the way. Read about that on the release notes.

Sales and downloads of Relational Power have been fairly brisk, but still no (or very little) feedback or Amazon reviews (Boo-hoo). PLEASE read (or now listen) to at least the introduction chapter, its just a half-hour. And then (if you like), leave an Amazon review.

I will repeat here my previous offer: if you listen to at least the introduction and leave an Amazon review, I will call your mother (or your boss) to tell them how great you are and that they should get off your case.

An Authentic Relating Parable:

“Two monks, an old one and a younger one, had lived together for many years in a cave. In all that time, they had never had a fight or even a disagreement. They were so poor that all they owned were a few blankets and a single bowl which they shared”.

From the new crowd-sourcing introduction:

A book about a personal development practice and a global movement for social transformation, as powerful and important as Authentic Relating and Circling, cannot be written by a single person. It needs different perspectives and it needs personal stories. We have an agenda to bring Authentic Relating and Circling more into the mainstream, through a compelling, entertaining and transformational book which can reach a mass audience. I need your help.

Reminder: versions prior to v1.20 are obsolete

A reminder that if you ordered a print copy prior to v1.20 (which was a major re-write), please throw it out and start fresh (sorry about that). You probably better off getting digital versions, which should automatically update (including the Kindle).

Enjoy this post? Then be audacious and share or like!
