highly recommended

Terrence Real is really speaking to me this morning. How Can I Get Through To You is an excellent resource as I work on developing relational skills like receptivity, flexibility and empathy. I have a tendency to assume that everyone already knows everything and I'm the last one to figure stuff out. I feel a lot less lonely after reading the first chapter.

I appreciate that he addresses how patriarchal society shapes relationships. A lot of books seem to leave it at, "Oh, men and women are just so different! But here's a trick to help you work around that."
