This book is about how to get along better, with yourself and others. | In a simple, easy-to-read style, illustrated with entertaining and pertinent cartoons, it presents ideas and skills to help you appreciate yourself and others, and to promote more effective and rewarding communication. This new edition, a mother-daughter collaboration, has been completely revised and expanded, adding two new sections - self-awareness and conflict management - to the original topics of self-esteem, listening skills, and assertion. It is a synthesis of new and old; contemporary tastes grounded in the tried and true. It doesn't dazzle you with false hopes, but quietly and methodically explains how to go about building better relationships - relationships based on understanding and trust - relationships that enhance rather than diminish our humanity - relationships that have the power to transform lives; our own and those with whom we communicate.
