This is a somewhat softer warm-and-fuzzier not-as-witty book as "Get Out of My Life..." The best part for me was the list for avoiding communication breakdowns
1. Blaming
2. Name-Calling
3. Denying the Importance of the Other's Feelings
4. Using Sarcasm
5. Getting off Track
6. Making Crying an Offense
7. Preaching or Moralizing
8. Commanding
9. Teasing
10. Blowing Out of Proportion
In my mind, when I think about holding this book, it squishes in my hands.
