Synopsis


"The key to real and lasting change lies somewhere between what you know and what you do. It’s what you think." —Lisa Oz

Being social creatures, we yearn for connection but often fall into bad habits that interfere with our ability to have rewarding relationships. We begin to see ourselves as alone, isolated, or at odds with the rest of the universe. How can we learn to live in relationship in a more enlightened way?

In US: Transforming Ourselves and the Relationships That Matter Most, Lisa Oz, the bestselling coauthor of the YOU: The Owner’s Manual series, takes readers on a transformational journey as she explores the three relationships that matter most: with the self, with others, and with the Divine. Interrelated and inseparable, these fundamental relationships determine the quality and the measure of our emotional and spiritual lives.

Drawing from ancient traditions, spiritual and holistic thinkers, and personal insights, Lisa Oz guides you on an engaging, thought-provoking, and ultimately inspirational path toward changing your self, your relationships, and your life. With remarkable candor and humor, Lisa offers personal anecdotes that highlight the truth and consequences of familiar interactions. She also includes imaginative exercises meant to help you gain new insight into old behavior patterns and to encourage you to be an active, empowered agent for positive change in your relationships.

Lisa’s writing on topics such as personal well-being, identifying your authentic self, conscious parenting, marital bonding, and truly compassionate living are persuasive because they are suggestive rather than prescriptive. By holding a mirror to her relationships, Lisa hopes to inspire you to reflect on your own, observing that we are all works in progress, living in relationship together.

Informative and transformative, US offers an enriched and fulfilling vision of friendship, marriage, family, and spiritual progress. In these pages, the evolution of YOU blossoms into the community of US.

Goodreads review by Ellen on April 22, 2014

I read this book a couple years ago. I had gotten it from the library, but I enjoyed it so much that I bought my own copy. I found Lisa Oz to be a normal person just like the rest of us, despite being married to the great "Dr. Oz". I loved her advice,for example, she was always mad at her husband fo......more

Goodreads review by Dixie on January 12, 2011

There were parts of the book I really liked, like how we need to understand ourselves before we can understand others or have relationships be successful. I liked some of the activities she gave at the end of each chapter. Some of her views about men & women being the "perfect union" make me wonder......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on March 12, 2012

Lisa Oz is an intelligent, hip chick, no doubt. But this book is kind of all over the place and doesn't really say anything new. The only thing I learned is about the enneagram and that there is a Swedenborgian religion. Not a book I would recommend.......more

Not your typical self help book. Very easy to read, and found it to be very helpful. There are daily exercises at the end of each section that reinforce some of the lessons Lisa provides.......more

Goodreads review by Stephanie on June 25, 2021

While I became bored with many of the author’s many personal (and oftentimes digressed) stories, I found myself taking notes and photos of several pages that I wanted to forever remember. Much of this book I found profound and wise. Would recommend, with the caveat that you may skip some pages or ch......more
