This book is not about fabulous love, but about how to make it creative, deep and healing, so that the best version of both you and your partner is revealed next to you. Under one cover, research on childhood trauma, practical tools for building relationships, and tips for anyone who wants to love sincerely. "I take a block of marble and cut off everything superfluous from it," Michelangelo Buonarroti said. It's the same in love: your chosen one is not a blank slate, but a ready—made masterpiece hidden under a layer of fears, stereotypes and childhood traumas. But how do you become someone who does not disfigure, but frees the best version of a loved one? And why do we most often choose not "sculptors", but those who only multiply our cracks?Psychologists Ana Maria Sepe and Anna De Simone explore and explain how the phenomenon of the "Michelangelo Effect", discovered by American psychologist Stephen Drigotas, works in life: when two people become mirrors of growth, their views, words and support release potential that they themselves did not know about. Through real stories and exercises, you will learn:- How to spot subconscious scenarios that destroy relationships. - Why the words "I believe in you" work wonders. - How the mechanisms of mutual evolution work in a couple. The authors prove that the most harmonious relationships do not begin with the search for the ideal partner, but with the discovery of him in himself and in those around him.
