We're all asking this timely question in contentious times.
Research and humor mingle with memoir, alongside insights about simple ways to get through gutsy conversations, melting gridlock and boundaries in order to build bridges, even while sweating through it.
Here we'll find easy to recall tools for crucial conversations and conflict.
Whether you're challenged with relationships, marriages, kids, bosses, co-workers, friendships, neighbors, teachers, mediators, doctors, corporations, ailments, death or divorce - this book is relatable, riveting, helpful, inspiring and sometimes fun. Even your cat's hairballs show the reader how to get rid of blocked emotions, bringing relief.
This book is readable, from the repair Byrne sees in her forty years of counseling and what creates it to her escape from the gynecologist with a misdiagnosis to the horrifying world news. Both hard and humorous lessons from her life bring us hope. Here we see a way out - a way to heal, we, the people and politics.
