Open Thinking in a Closed World Melanie Fernandes

An insightful yet easy to understand book that looks at alternative relationships and makes sense of the non-monogamous/polyamorous way of life. The quickest way to destroy a relationship is to make it fit into something it is not. Monogamy is a term that humans have used to define their relationships - that we should only be attached to one person for our entire (adult) lives. What if, instead of trying to make our relationships fit outdated and inaccurate models, we took the plunge and opened our minds to the possibility of other relationship styles? What if we admitted that for some people monogamy just doesn't work, and accepted that there are other paths to follow?Having an open mind about many things in life can introduce the possibility of various positive aspects that you never even thought about before, often making life more enjoyable. Instead of seeing the world through a black and white lens, it is like seeing it through a wide range of colors. With chapters that include an understanding of how being single and solo-polyamorous, female and poly and where to begin, this book will help both couples and individuals navigate the world of alternative relationships.
