Learning how your personal ego shapes your perceptions and how those perceptions then influence how you conduct yourself in your various relationships - that's the real effort.

Seems all this comes down to egos and how one is aware of their own and how it plays with that of another. The battle that goes on between them if unchecked can lead to disharmony. Attempting to be "aware" of one's own ego will certainly help in giving understanding to the needs and what drives them. Also, something that I have taken from this book is to attempt some Zen like concepts for happiness... (calm acceptance of the here and now, non-attachment to "things" physical, non-resistance to "what is", and non-judgment). Of course for us mere mortals, this is easier said than done. Getting your partner on the same page with this can also be a challenge... Just my two cents.... ~Thad I think that Eckart Tolle’s book, A New Earth talks to this a bit.
