About this listen

Since the dawn of civilization, men and women have been magnetically and irresistibly drawn together into romantic relationships, not so much by what they see, feel and think, but more by invisible forces. When individuals with healthy emotional backgrounds meet, the irresistible love force creates a sustainable, reciprocal and stable relationship. Codependents and emotional manipulators are similarly enveloped in a seductive dreamlike state; however, it will later unfold into a painful seesaw of love, pain, hope and disappointment. The soul mate of the codependent's dreams will become the emotional manipulator of their nightmares. Listeners of the Human Magnet Syndrome will better understand why they, despite their dreams for true love, find themselves hopelessly and painfully in love with partners who hurt them. This audiobook will guide and inspire both the layman and the professional.

Absolutely loved this book, wish I hadn’t finished it!
Life and relationships make so much more sense now, especially to do with conflict, the partners we choose, then how mental health, abuse and childhood all affect how we develop as we grow up, as well as the friendships and relationships we have with people.
My life’s events and ups and downs, why I feel like I do and why my partner feels like they do - when previously never understood eachother, all clicks together now. I feel so much more positive about the tools to change my life, improving the present and planning my future after the 6 hours of listening to this book.
Absolutely life changing and empowering!
I feel like a new person- THANK YOU SO MUCH

Best book ever!!

What did you like most about The Human Magnet Syndrome?

I never knew how nurturing and healing knowledge can be. I have firstly watched Ross Rosenberg videos on youtube when I discovered my suffering and toxic relationships were attached to codependency... so i am in this healing path... breaking FREE soul journey! HIGHLY and DEARLY recommend this book. It is clearly written from someone who truly cares... and when we are hurting we need this!

I am so happy I have found this book in audio!

Great place to start recovery from narcissistic abuse Before reading this book I wasn't clear on the why and how my relationship was so grossly dysfunctional nor who was abusing who, the years of gas lighting, blame, and emotional torture had me confused. Was I really the reason my relationship had failed when I'd given so much of myself to my partner? This detailed book, whilst sometimes repetitive and quite technical to the layman, provided the answer I needed. It has enough clarity that I now have the answer I sought and the understanding that I, as a co dependant HAVE contributed to the dysfunctionallity of my relationships. I am now clear and ready to start my own recovery and transformation from high co-dependency. I also have the enthusiasm and belief that for the co-dependant there is hope. The aha moment comes towards the end of the book. Midway I wasn't sure what, if any, help this book would bring, but quite astonishingly, once the logic and understanding starts to grow ALL of the answers fell into place. This book is not a course for recovery or healing as you might expect, this book lays the foundation for this by helping the co-dependant understand in detail what he or she is and why this happens. Once the logical explanation was realised I felt a huge sense of relief and had the energy to look for the treatment I need to break the cycles and develop myself out of co-dependency and find the happiness I crave.
Audiobook works well but the quote references do get in the way of the detail on occasion. Ross offers courses for recovery on his website, I'm contemplating taking his course as a follow on step, I will update this review with a note on how well this fits.

Enlightening & essential reading for anyone living or dealing with narcissistic abuse

As a newly qualified Nlp practitioner and somebody that has had a rainbow of therapy from the age of 13 (now 37) I can actually say this book was amazing from start to the last full stop! I totally relate and am proud of my own journey and feel it has helped me to understand why manipulators act as they do as I only learnt why I act as I do (co dependant). With this understanding I will be able to be a better therapist myself. Therapy never ends and self awareness is key to live a fulfilling life. Thank you to my own therapist for recommending me this awesome book 🙌🏾❤️

Game changer!! Love it - my golden rule and tool-book

Totally recommend for its clarity and thorough covering of the subject. Very good explanation of how people get attracted to people who may be a hindrance for personal development and freedom from childhood roles. I now know what I need to do .
Excellent reading
