Synopsis

A world-renowned therapist, Mira Kirshenbaum has treated thousands of people caught in the powerful drama over what to do when an affair rocks their emotional lives. Now, in When Good People Have Affairs, Kirshenbaum puts her unsurpassed experience into one clear, calming place. She leads listeners through six easy-to-navigate steps that will take anyone from anxiety to clarity, and identifies seventeen types of affairs, helping listeners figure out which type they're in and what it means. (Is it a "see-if" affair? Ejector-seat affair? Distraction affair? Unmet-needs affair?
Panic affair?)

Kirshenbaum encourages honest answers to such questions as:

● What am I missing in my marriage?

● How do I decide between two people when it's like comparing an apple to an orange?

● How do I decide to end my marriage, end my affair, or end them both?

When Good People Have Affairs will be a lifeline to any man or woman who feels caught between two lovers, and its insights are indispensable to anyone else touched by an affair.

One of the most helpful points in this book is the way......more

Goodreads review by Timothy on February 12, 2011

I picked this up for my wife to read, as it promised to guide the reader to the best of one of three choices. Unfortunately, she went off to Idaho with her lover anyway, so this book was a bit of a disappointment.

Goodreads review by Princess on February 27, 2009

I saw this book at the store and the cover and title intrigued me. Not unlike many others, my life has been touched by infidelity in several ways, with friends and family members. This is written in an interesting perspective--it is written expressly for someone who is in the middle of an affair. Th......more
