This review is from: The Relationship Handbook (Paperback)

I collect self help books. I happened upon this book while going through my mom's things after her death. It is an older book, but with a dramatic difference from other self help books. I have learned so much positive information that actually makes sense. It is about compassion, intelligent conversation and actions. It shows how we over-react to situations and then things get all out of porportion. It also tells how to fix it and this is the one book that suggests that you alone, without the help of your partner, can put your relationship back on the right track. It is as basic and yet profound as can be. The main ideas is to use positive reinforcement and positive therapy to enable permanent change in relationships and their dynamics.

This book offers practical insights into how to better navigate the sometimes turbulent waters of human relationships, especially man/woman relationships. Especially insightful was the chapter that covered moods and how to react to the ever-changing moods that sometimes control our lives. I would welcome more application advice on dismissing negative or harmful thoughts and thought patterns. Overall, this quick read was well worth the time and cost.

If therapy brings you down, this book will bring you up. Previously published as: "Divorce is not the answer: a change of heart will save your relationship" , this book is uplifting and offerers something precious.
