Trade Review“
The Inner Marriage is more than an insightful read, I found it to be a perceptive self-development journey that opens the mind into non-dual thinking, teaching us to apply this into our love, work, and family relationships. A must-read for everyone wanting to understand themselves, the nature of reality, and their loved ones better.” * KIP ANDERSEN, producer of Netflix premiere Seaspiracy and director of the Netflix documentaries What *
“
The Inner Marriage by Elliott Saxby grants entrance into the long misunderstood realm of feminine and masculine dynamics. It is an insightful jewel for those seeking to bring about growth in their own inner world while developing mature relationships with the opposite sex. The wisdom given has the potential to transform the reader by clearing the smokescreen that many of us are consumed by when trying to understand why we or others behave the way we do. Elliott gives us the motivation and a way to improve by providing a blueprint that is quite accessible and applicable to everyday life. I will return to this book again and again for guidance and reference it in my own teachings. Thank you!” * YOGINI GOPIKA, traditional tantric yoga teacher *
