Relationships are a gift; they are a privilege. A deep and meaningful connection with another human is something you earn because of who you are. It's not something to which you are entitled. We must never forget that people can disappear from our lives at any moment. Even this gift of being alive and the opportunity we were given to live this life is a privilege with no guarantee. Now, this book may not be for everyone. Yes, it enhances your ability to have much more meaningful relationships with friends and family and to even breathe new life into a marriage or intimate partnership. But even more, what this book will teach can transform your future relationships. If you are sick of the constant struggle and don't understand why your relationships have consistently failed, this book is for you. If you are ready to roll up your sleeves and put in the hard work that solid, meaningful relationships require, this book is for you. If you are ready to dig deep into yourself and your own issues-to take a long, hard look in the mirror-so you can bring your best self to a relationship with your future partner, this book is definitely for you. This book is not designed for you to learn how to fix others but for you to fix yourself. One thing you CAN control is you. One thing you CANNOT control is others. The goal of this book is to make you the best you, and when you're done, you will understand others better.
