Reviews

[Adele Bonnie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is one of the best self-help books I've ever read. The advice is easy to follow and actually useful!
I can honestly say that my feelings of frustration in nearly ALL my relationships have eased a great deal after reading this book. The premise is that since you can't change anyone but yourself, and nagging only destroys relationships that you have to learn new ways of dealing with issues in relationships. I've known for a long time that you really can't change anyone but yourself, but this book showed me how to change my thinking and behaviors so that I don't feel crazy! Although it's written for people in romantic relationships, I highly recommend it for anyone with a husband/boyfriend, a child, a friend or parents!
I read this twice (once 12 years ago) and took this long for it to sink in. :)
