US: Transforming Ourselves and the Relationships that Matter Most

For 25 years, Lisa Oz has been the wife of Dr. Mehmet Oz, host of the nationally syndicated THE DR. OZ SHOW.  But that is just one of her many “relationships.”  She is also a writer, producer, actress, entrepreneur, and mother of four children. In US: Transforming Ourselves and the Relationships that Matter Most, Lisa Oz takes us on a spiritual journey toward a more connected, more enriched self—and a more fulfilling relationship with everyone around us.

In his Foreword to US, Dr. Oz says, “Lisa’s work has helped me immeasurably as I embarked on a path to teach health through the media.  In fact, the entire journey in books and television was Lisa’s brainchild.  All along she has emphasized a major message… We must find ourselves before changing the world, but paradoxically, we find ourselves best in relationship with others.”

US is divided into three parts: the first focuses on our relationship with ourselves and understanding our true identity, because as Lisa says, without knowing our authentic self, we can never be genuinely intimate with another person. The second section explores our interactions with other people—from our most intimate relations with lovers to the way we parent to the way we treat the homeless.  And the third examines our connection with the spiritual—whether that is God or a feeling of divinity or the Universe.  “These are the primary areas we live in relationship,” says Lisa.  “In my opinion, they are interrelated and inseparable.  We cannot love another person if we have no self-love and the only way we can demonstrate our devotion to the Divine is through our service for other people.”
