More about the book

From the Preface: This is a book about the uses and effects of your communication techniques in your relationships with people who are close to you. Words are so important a part of what we do, what we think and what creates the bonds between us, that our lives truly are controlled and defined by them. How we use words and to what purpose we use them, determines the types of people we are. These exercises will help you relate to others in ways that will allow you to understand what you both are feeling and saying. They were designed for teenagers.
