It seems Goodreads doesn't have the actual book listed on here, so this was closest I could find. A bit repetitive, but really changed the way I view and think about relationships.

I like that this book is really short. However it may be that as I work in the field that 1. The ideas were too basic and yet 2. not explained clearly enough for a lay person to really get the gist or get the practical help they are looking for.
