Multiamory: Essential Tools for Modern Relationships
by Dedeker Winston Emily Matlack Jase LindgrenRelationships aren't "one-size-fits-all" so why should relationship advice be? Multiamory offers practical, research-based communication tools for the full spectrum of modern relationships.When Multiamory authors Dedeker Winston, Emily Sotelo Matlack, and Jase Lindgren started producing their advice show about polyamory and other non-traditional relationships, they received dozens of questions from listeners about all sorts of relationship quandaries and communication stalemates. They quickly found out that existing relationship tools weren&’t up to the task, and that conventional wisdom is sorely lacking for modern relationships. Many of the primary resources for relationship advice are frustratingly religious, unapproachable and academic, or alienating to anyone who falls outside the mainstream of heterosexual monogamy.Over the course of many years and hundreds of episodes, they have spent hours nerding out over research, reading up on evidence-based relationship advice, and listening to the personal struggles of hundreds of couples and individuals. They have re-tooled commonplace communication frameworks to fit modern-day relationships, and when there was no existing tool that fit, they put on their inventor hats and developed their own. This has led to the creation of Multiamory: Essential Tools for Modern Relationships, a curated collection of the most popular communication tools, advice, and wisdom from the Multiamory podcast that have helped thousands of listeners improve their communication and create healthy relationships. In this book, you&’ll learn how to:Get what you need out of conversations with your partner with the Triforce of CommunicationCreate Microscripts that will interrupt old patterns, diffuse tension, and form better communication habits.Process and reconnect after an argument with Repair SHOPDetermine your unique processing style, and how it may be clashing with your partner&’s Set up a regular RADAR check-in to support the long-term health of all of your relationshipsAnd more!

Multiples: A Short Story
by Robert SilverbergFor some people, one personality is just never enough. A story of duplicity from the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of Lord Valentine&’s Castle. Slowly, a climate of acceptance has been growing for people with divided personalities, especially in big cities like San Francisco. There are clubs with mirrors and lights that help people to switch and double, maybe even triple. When, like Cleo, you feel your world has become stale and cramped, they&’re the perfect place to meet someone. But first Cleo has to pretend that she&’s a multiple, because they&’re notoriously indifferent to singletons and their bland, overly simple selves. When she meets Van, she&’s able to pull off her masquerade for a week of bliss with him (and Paul, and Hal, and . . .). Or so she thinks. When Cleo is caught in her lie, she attempts to bow out gracefully. But Van doesn&’t want to lose her. In fact, he wants more of her. There could be a whole horde of selves inside of her—and he knows just how to get them out . . . &“In the thoughtful and emotionally evocative title story, &‘Multiples,&’ multiple personality &‘disorder&’ is normal, and indeed a desired state, creating an effective metaphor for the loneliness experienced by socially isolated individuals.&” —SF Site Praise for Robert Silverberg and his short stories &“When Silverberg is at the top of his form, no one is better.&” —George R. R. Martin, #1 New York Times–bestselling author &“Decades after being originally published, most of these stories are still just as entertaining and powerful as they were when first released.
