[Chris May · Rating 5 out of 5]

“I want to run” has become the mantra of the western world. The ubiquitous polarization that now stems from even the most minute disagreements, has caused a new level of tribalism, toxicity, and—unfortunately—many broken relationships.

In this compelling book, Dr. Francis presents clear and concise guidance that will help us ‘Stay in the Room,’ even when conflicts inevitably arise; he reminds us that disagreement does not have to mean departure.

I appreciate Dr. Francis’s transparency regarding his own relational challenges. His counsel comes—not just from research (though he has certainly done his homework)—but from his own story of learning to obtain and keep healthy relationships.


I highly recommend this book; if you don’t agree with me, PLEASE, ‘Stay in the Room.’
