Product Description
'There's too much pressure on 'The One'.and frankly, too little pressure on the rest of the people in our lives.' So begins Sarah Gabriel in [i]Unexpected Intimacy: Everyday Connections that Nourish the Soul[/i] as she invites us to leave our preconceived notions about intimacy at the door. [i]Unexpected Intimacy[/i] is a refreshing change from the ubiquitous relationship books written on the 'life is incomplete without the perfect soul-mate' theme. On the contrary, with nearly 50 short, poignant stories, Gabriel reveals a path of conscious relationship-making-including connections with time, space, place and soul-in our personal and professional lives. The collection is peppered with intriguing research from the medical and social sciences that highlights health benefits of rich social connections. From stories of 'Gastronomical Intimacy' through explorations of 'Family of Circumstance' to pondering 'Intimate Legacies,' readers are engaged, empowered and inspired to take a longer look at the breadth and depth of their relationships. In our too-busy 21st century lives, [i]Unexpected Intimacy[/i] is a compelling reminder of how nourishing everyday connections can be. Great book group selection.
