New York Times bestselling author of Into the Magic Shop: A Neurosurgeon’s Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart
“Relationships are at the core of what defines our humanity and gives meaning in our lives. Yet for many successful relationships remain a challenge. Dr. Bullock in her groundbreaking book, Mindful Relationships: Seven Skills for Success, gives us a guide that synthesizes not only her vast personal experience but incorporates the latest research from neuroscience and psychology. Her profound BREATHE model allows us to incorporate this knowledge to not only enhance our relationships but to fundamentally change our lives for the better.”
Deborah Reidy Chair, Society for Organizational Learning NA Council

“This book is a must have resource for leaders and organizations. Dr. Bullock offers a compelling account of the most up to date science on stress, its impact on relationships and what to do about it. Her coherent narrative is well balanced between research findings, personal stories and interpretation of the relevance to the reader. And her BREATHE model is practical, applicable in the moment, and highly effective. Mindful Relationships is remarkably readable. Even the science had me turning the pages as quickly as I could. I highly recommend it!"
Stephen Cope Senior Scholar in Residence, Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health
Best Selling Author of The Great Work of Your Life: A Guide on the Journey to Your True Calling, and Yoga and the Quest for the True Self
“I can hardly endorse this book strongly enough. B Grace Bullock has given us a book packed with wisdom, cutting-edge neuroscience, and with her own very unique combination of gifts as a psychotherapist, a scientist, and a committed practitioner of the contemplative arts. Most importantly, for me, it is an extremely practical and user friendly guide. There is no more complex challenge to the practice of mindfulness than relationships. As Ram Dass used to say, “If you think you’re enlightened, go back and visit your parents.” Dr. Bullock has given us a method for bringing mindfulness into relationship—a method which, as she herself points out, is simple and always accessible. Human beings of every stripe will want this book, and will want to give it to their friends and loved-ones!”
Mirabai Bush, Senior Fellow Center for Contemplative Mind in Society
Author of Mindfulness in Organizations: Foundations, Research, and Applications, Working With Mindfulness, and Contemplation Nation
"Many of us can sit quietly, eyes closed, focusing mindfully on our breath. It is quite another challenge to bring mindful awareness—the ability to be with another human being without judgment, into a relationship and to sustain that over time with honesty, compassion, and care. But we can do it, and this is important work for a just and sustainable 21rst Century. Dr. Bullock gives us a smart and loving guidebook for this work, including both research and humor to motivate us through the difficult challenges into healthy, supportive, creative relationships."
