Relational Wealth Reading Thread | 3 Books on Connection, Boundaries + Belonging
Relational Wealth — The Art of Conscious Connection
Relationships are where we practice everything we know about love, trust, communication, and truth. These three books illuminate the delicate balance between self and other — helping us understand how to relate, repair, and rise in connection.
1. “Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find—and Keep—Love” by Amir Levine + Rachel Heller
A foundational exploration of attachment theory through the lens of modern relationships. Levine and Heller reveal how our attachment style — anxious, avoidant, or secure — influences the way we love, communicate, and seek safety.
💡 Jaunteur Reflection: Awareness is the first act of relational alchemy. When we understand how we attach, we stop blaming connection for our pain — and begin building security from within.
2. “Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself” by Nedra Glover Tawwab
Practical, compassionate, and deeply empowering. Tawwab shows that boundaries are not walls; they are bridges that protect the integrity of love. Through real-world examples and therapeutic insight, this book helps us communicate needs without guilt.
💡 Jaunteur Reflection: Boundaries are the architecture of Relational Wealth. They preserve the sacred space where love and respect can coexist — where connection becomes choice, not obligation.
3. “The Gifts of Imperfection” by Brené Brown
A timeless guide to wholehearted living. Brown reminds us that true belonging starts with self-acceptance — and that authenticity is the foundation of every healthy relationship. When we allow ourselves to be seen, love deepens naturally.
💡 Jaunteur Reflection: Authenticity is the bridge between the self and the soul of another. When we let go of perfection, we stop performing and start relating — and that is where Relational Wealth begins.
Relational Wealth is not about being loved by many, but being known deeply by a few — and, most importantly, by yourself.
