Do you find yourself challenged by painful repeating patterns in your relationships? Do you experience frustrations like old hurts, criticism, complaints, predictability or boredom? Would you like to learn to alchemize these into honesty, trust, laughter, passion and play? The majority of people have never been taught how to do relationship. You likely created your relationships using a paradigm … a paradigm where one person wins and the other loses. While this may not show up all of the time, it often creates an underlying unconscious tendency to maneuver the other person.
In this book, Relating Revolution: All It Takes is One Person to Change, you will learn a new paradigm called Third Consciousness, which will change how you view all of your relationships. You will:
– see a bigger picture that holds both your truth and the other person’s
– see your role in repeating patterns of disconnection and what is really going on underneath the “he said, she said” version
– learn how to break old stuck patterns to access an infinite set of new and magical possibilities.
This applies not just to romantic partnerships, but when relating with friends, family and even colleagues. Through suggested practices and exercises offered in this book, understanding becomes embodied. Using this book, you can start to transform your relationships into fuel for the MORE in your life.
Whether you want to address a challenging relationship situation; or learn to play the relationship game so both people win; or are just curious to find out what is really possible when relating with others, you are not alone. This book can be your guide.

The authors Kris and Menal Kelkar have written a great book that I found to be quite inspiring, this book teaches you how to practice some very simple techniques, that enable you to gain greater connection within your relationships. I thought this was a superb guide that everyone could use and learn from not just within personal relationships but in every relationship we encounter. I would highly recommend this guide to anyone who is looking for a self help kind of book on a personal level.
Authors Kris Kelkar and Meenal Kelkar have created a valuable tool for creating and nurturing viable, strong relationships. Kris has previously published a solid book – DANCING WITH THE FIELD: BRINGING JOY, PASSION AND PLAY INTO EVERYDAY LIFE, sharing his experience as a serial high-technology entrepreneur, creating numerous acclaimed inventions and patents that have helped transform industries, building and leading successful businesses based on a foundation of non-traditional concepts such as company values, 360-relationships, thinking-styles, heart-brain coherence, and communication skills. After being confronted with cancer he has embraced mediation, yoga, and other modalities for his personal transformation. Now he and his wife Meenal coach people and teach workshops that help people play the relationship game so both people win. Using their body-based framework called Third-Consciousness that incorporates lessons from their diverse training and 30 years of practice together, they continue to transform relationships and lives. This book is an entry point for all of us to learn and utilize their very solid instruction.
The chosen cover of their book suggests the content of this excellent book – that leap from problematic living to happy and successful change. Before diving into their excellent advice and coaching, the Kelkars offer the following: ‘Throughout this book, we point to examples and magic possible in relationships, based on both our own personal experiences and those we have facilitated in our workshops and coaching. As you read, we hope you get excited about possibilities because we know this can help you re-envision and re-create your meaningful relationships and help you stay on a path to experience more joy, trust, passion, laughter, and play in your life. Relating to others can become your path to experience the MORE that life has to offer…All it takes is one person to change for a relationship to change…your state of mind is what creates your reality and we are all interconnected.’
One of the important impacts of the Kelkars’ technique of coaching us is their openness about their own relationship – concrete evidence of how they have arrived at the skills they teach, making their concepts immediately relatable. This is book that must be absorbed by the reader, a journey to change that is of paramount importance, both in personal relationships and relationships with everyone we encounter. There may be many ‘self-help’ books floating around, but few are as valuable as this superb guide. Very highly recommended.
Relating Revolution: All it Takes is One Person to Change by Kris Kelkar and Meenal Kelkar is full of wise tidbits. Not only do the authors make you more conscious of your relationships, but they encourage you to practice healthy more joyful patterns to experience a life of continual happiness. They explain that by one person making a change they will eventually see a change in others.
Kris and Meenal Kelkar have some very interesting perspective in Relating Revolution that I have not heard before. Their approach to a problem or conflict is fascinating as they get results without hurting or insulting each other. It is a win-win situation. This book can be very helpful for couples who want different outcome to the problems they face. I love that the authors use their own short comings and troubles to show how these principles can be applied and work. This was a helpful and fun read.
In a world of online dating sites and Tinder, there can be an almost disposable attitude to relationships. I think relationships are thrown away far too quickly, instead of making an effort with someone you care about. Relating Revolution by Kris Kelkar and Meenal Kelkar provides some really great real-life examples and techniques to help build better communication in relationships. Other relatable advice involves forgiveness and learning to break old habits. I really liked how the authors took cues from other cultures in their relationship self-help book, which is not just for romantic relationships, but also for friendships, families, and work mates
The author seems to draw from his many experiences traveling and growing to write this logic-driven self-help book on personal relationships.
Though many of the principles in this book have been discussed in other books of this kind, the unique and personal experience and take on it is what makes this piece stand out from the rest. The book has a number of realistic examples on how to use the techniques taught here. One of my favorite things about this is that it really brings other cultures and experiences into the fray, which is something we don’t see often in relationship help books (more often we see ideological theories and suggestions).
I think this book is a good read, even if it echoes ideas we’ve heard before, if only because of the unique experience and portrayal of the ideas. I like all of the relatable examples. I do think there are some errors with editing and word use (just read the back cover for a couple of good examples) and for that I can’t give it full marks, but it ranks high just the same. Give it a read, it’s worth your time.
