Good Advice . . .

I come back to this book again and again. I've owned it for several years. Every time I need a dose of perspective and reality about relationships, it always provides. It's tone is light, it's very well written and presented, but the content is right-on. It is like turning to a wise friend who won't hold back the truth.
