Authentic Relating covers every aspect of the practice, introducing readers to skills and tools that have been tested and proven by thousands of people around the world to develop and ultimately master relational intelligence. After reading this book, you'll be able to: • Create nourishing relationships that are built on trust, honesty, integrity, and wholeness • Spark deep, meaningful, soulful conversations with anyone, anytime, anywhere • Transform conflict into deeper connection, understanding, and empathy • Identify and honor your core needs, desires, and boundaries, and those of others “This is such a useful, comprehensive, insightful, and well-written book. Ryel has a way of framing complex interpersonal dynamics so any reader, whether they have a background in authentic relating or not, can easily connect with the material. I believe Ryel has made good on his promise that absolutely anyone can learn the tools and skills of authentic relating and experience a life-changing shift in the quality of all their relationships.” –Susan Campbell, author of Getting Real and From Triggered to Tranquil. “From the fire of his own hard-won experience, Ryel guides us into the healing temple where relationship is revealed to be path. Grounded, practical, and wise, Authentic Relating is a true gift for anyone interested in the felt experience of aliveness, beauty, and meaning. Take this book into your heart and the gold will be yours.” –Matt Licata, PhD, author of A Healing Space: Befriending Ourselves in Difficult Times “I am convinced that there are two things we need to do as a species, before we can save ourselves: (1) Learn how to healthily express and resolve our repressed feelings; (2) Learn how to communicate in a safe, authentic manner. This brilliant, revolutionary book moves the needle in both directions. It gives me hope. Highly recommended!” –Jeff Brown, author of Grounded Spirituality and Hearticulations . “Ryel has an immense commitment, mastery and passion in supporting people to develop relational skills that make their life better in concrete ways. This book holds the most important keys to help you build more nourishing, powerful and enlivening connections across your life. It's down to earth and easy to understand yet points directly to the magic and depths that are possible for us in our relationships.” –John Thompson, co-founder of Circling Europe “Authentic relating changed my life, shifting me from an unaware, often narcissistic and reactive, wounded human to an awake, aware, empathetic, and caring soul. In the past, the only way to learn these tools was to attend a program and directly from a master teacher or trainer. Now, with Ryel's book, the tools of authentic relating are accessible to anyone who wants to integrate healthy relating into their life and work. Read the book, use the tools, and become the person you've always believed yourself to be.” —Ali Katz, CEO of New Law Business Model and founder of Eyes Wide Open Life “For a long time, communication skills have been relegated to the rooms of work seminars or therapy. Ryel makes the most compelling case I’ve ever seen for why these skills are absolutely essential for our daily lives. Through stories, examples, and games, he gives us an easy and direct way to apply them in every moment of connection. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn the essential life skills we are never taught but expected to know: how to human better, and connect with anyone else in our lives.” —Sara Ness, Founder of Authentic Revolution Review: yay! finally a book like this has come out! - Super grateful a book like this has come out! Finally a book I can recommend or offer others interested in this work! I have been utilizing communication and authentic relating practices for a long time in my own life, and friends and clients have continued to ask me for more information. I've sent along PDF's or documents I had made up to use as an outline or to pass along exercises, but it has felt somewhat lacking without the context of other practices/info. Ryel's book is a comprehensive overview that offers both breadth and specificity around concepts, as well as implementing them into everyday situations. My favorite part was the beginning chapters where I felt I was being led in realtime into the practice- slowing down, connecting to self, etc.- just by his writing style. I also love that there is a Practices and Exercises section at the very end I can easily flip to and dive in. Easy to read and follow along with lots of stories and practical scenarios played out. Hoping an Audiobook will accompany this! I would love to see how it evolves as the practice evolves over time. Overall a wonderful gift to someone who is first being introduced to AR, and also a book I will for sure come back to myself! Review: A timeless guide for living a more meaningful and authentic life . . . - What an incredible read!

Ryel is such a beautiful writer, full of both heart and expertise, guiding us with skill and compassion toward deeper connections with ourselves and others. This book is a true gift to those looking to transform their lives and relationships with simple, easy-to-apply tools and practices.
