The Art of Receiving and Giving

What does it really mean to give and receive? Turns out that quite a lot. With clarity and compassion, Martin unveils a powerful framework for practicing consent, not just as a personal tool for intimacy and communication, but as a lens for integrity, empowerment, and social justice. 

From therapists and coaches to educators and seekers of deeper relationships, this groundbreaking book offers essential insights for anyone ready to engage with others more consciously and responsibly.

★★★★★ Over the years I have talked about this with Fritz Perls, Abe Maslow,  Marilyn Ferguson, Albert Ellis, Byron Katie and many many others. And  now the voice of Betty Martin takes the conversation further, and in  intriguing detail, in this great book! – Brad Blanton, Ph.D. author of  Radical Honesty

★★★★★ “This is one of the most brilliant books I’ve read in years. Yes, it’s a self-help book, but the conceptualization of the four quadrants is a significant contribution to philosophy. It has immediately revolutionized my understanding of the dimensions of person-to-person touch and, more largely, to human interaction. So the book is both practically helpful and mind-expanding if one pays attention to its implications.”
