Resources
Books by Imago co-founders, Harville and Helen
Harville and Helen’s books are well known for their practical guidance, accessibility, and the powerful "Aha!" moments they inspire.
Three of their 17 books are New York Times bestsellers.
Getting the Love You Want has been recognized by Oprah as being the best relationship book ever written(!).
And their most recent book has come at the perfect time.
How to Talk with Anyone About Anything: The Practice of Safe Conversations (published 2024)
“Relationships everywhere are in crisis due to our inability to talk about ‘difference’ without polarizing. Since objection to difference is the core human problem, we need a skill that helps us connect beyond difference.”
Videos, podcasts, articles, and more
As two of the world’s most respected relationship experts, Harville and Helen are frequently interviewed for their transformative insights.
The many resulting videos, podcasts, and articles are a rich source of practical guidance.
One example is the Marie TV episode (video + show notes with podcast links) from August 2024: This Conversation Could Save Your Relationship
