Life is all about engaging with humans in relationships and those relationships differ in their nature from one person to another. That is because the human mind comes with different characteristics that determine how one can think, behave, and interact with their surroundings based on those characteristics.
"Dangerous Relationships"; written by Dr.Mohammad Taha is a psychology-based book that discusses in detail the types of different relationships we as humans are going to be exposed to with regard to their key defining features, their pros, and cons, plus the solution provided to deal with sort of character if you ever encounter any of them in your life.
What's So Special About This Book?
Psychology, although interesting, is easy to be misunderstood or be hard for some people to get due to the fact that it uses so many specialized terms and difficult definitions that may not be easily grasped by all readers or better said, it's not a genre that works just for anyone. However, some people do have a genuine interest in spite of that and want to learn about it, so what do they do?
This book gives you the answer you're looking for; that is read about it without fearing that you don't have prior knowledge about the subject. And this assumption that I'm boldly making is attributed to the fact that it's written in a very simple language that appeals to readers from all classes regardless of their level of education, since it's not written in standard Arabic but instead in colloquial Egyptian.
This gives the reader the feeling that they are not really reading a book as much as they are having a very informative conversation with someone who has so much knowledge and time to listen and speak. This helps them relate more to every word that is written without feeling that they have the need to skip on any part of it because it's hard to understand or perhaps lengthy.
The Structure of The Chapters
The structure of the books' chapters is very well organized and easy for the eye. Although it consists of 19 chapters which believe me may sound like a lot, in fact, they are divided carefully so you wouldn't be bored. The number of words on every single page is not on the dense side at all, and the layout and spacing between the lines are very well made so you can easily finish a bunch of pages in a short time.
All without feeling like you've been overwhelmed with information, and at the same time it gives you feelings of satisfaction as you feel like you've accomplished something so big with less effort being put in the reading process. So why am I saying this? Well, for beginners and not so into reading readers- like me- this is a perfect option to start with as it doesn't follow the traditional ways books are usually based on.
The first section is divided into 3 chapters that focus on the inner structure of who you are first before you're anyone else when dealing with people, which makes sense as the first step in succeeding in a relationship is to know what kind of relationship you have with yourself.
Section 2 includes chapters 4 to 6 and discusses who you are in a relationship, how you see the other person, and how the other person perceives you; the way you actually are or someone else. Section 3 includes chapters 7 to 10 and focuses on seeing and understanding the results of our messed-up relationships especially with the close ones.
Section 4 and the last includes chapters 11 to 19 is about coming to the realization of who you actually are through routes most probably hard. Such as accepting life and death, stepping out of your comfort zone, understanding healing better, and filling the void in you.
Conclusion
This book is highly recommended to anyone who is looking for answers to know if the way they are dealing with their parents, lovers, and friends is on the right track or not. It teaches you the fundamentals of building relationships, ending them, and understanding their type in order to be able to tell the right solution to be taken with each one of them.
