Sanctity of personal space

The art of relationships begins with respect, which begins with respecting oneself, according to this book. It gives a great deal of wisdom on the best way to conduct oneself in the art of relationship building. The authors cover the relationships to oneself, to God, to others, to children and even to the earth. All of this information comes in the framework of Jewish theology, of course, but insofar as it is based on the Tenach, there is no reason that the book cannot be insightful and helpful for Christian readers as well. There is even solid advice of how to heal when it is impossible to talk any longer with another person--for whatever reason, including death. This is a marvelous book that I recommend to one and all, Jewish or non-Jewish. --Alyssa A. Lappen
