I highly recommend this book, especially if you are struggling in a relationship whether it be with a parent, spouse, co-worker, friend.... anyone with whom communication and good relations have become a trial. I can hardly begin to describe the profound effect the ideas and teachings in his book have had on my heart and attitude. If you feel that you are less to blame for the difficulties in your life, read this book. It will challenge your idea of who is to blame. It will teach you powerful tools for rebuilding and possibly saving your relationships. It is well worth reflective study.… (altro)

It also points the way to a happier life by being complete honest, truly humble, etc..… (altro)
