"While it may be simpler to divide our world into villains and victims, the road to genuine power is found in compassion and change. Codes of Love provides a guide for healing the most potent relationships in our lives."

-Linda C. Powell, Ph.D. Professor, Teachers College, Columbia University

CODES OF LOVE is a guidebook that offers the basic tools for creating better relationships with parents, siblings, grown sons and daughters, spouses, even old friends - all the loved ones in your life. Bryan explores why family affection so often gets buried or forgotten, then shows us how to recover warmth and rebuild family bonds. He gives readers the necessary tools to crack the codes of love in their own families and discover intimate connections they may not have known existed.
