When I decided to write this book on relationship, my wife
Barbara was surprised and cautioned me by saying that she would not dare write
such a book because it was such a varied topic with so many nuances. That
scared me because she is certainly more qualified to write about relationship
than I am. I hesitated for a while.
Most of my writing had been on
housing, business, woodworking, even publishing, but nothing on relationship.
It's an expansive topic and I wasn't sure if my information would be of real
value. I considered that all my books are based on firsthand experience and
realized that even though I'm not an expert, I have a lifetime of experience in
relationship. Based on that I felt able to contribute something helpful to some
readers and I feel good about this book.
Oftentimes clear, true insight comes from someone not "trained" or "educated" in a particular field of thought. This book represents one of those
times. The subject of "relationships" is so complicated few outside
the legal/ counseling/mental health arenas even attempt to address it for fear
of being ignored, misunderstood or, worse yet, laughed at.
The author's conversational style makes his
book about the subject quite easy to read / understand and as one absorbs his
meaning . . . believable. It rings so true that as I was reading, I kept
wanting to cut out paragraphs to put on my computer, refrigerator and bathroom
mirror!
Read this book. You will be glad you found it.
In fact, you will probably send a copy to your child . . . I did!
