Great Book !! everyone should read it, gives you a clue as to why some relationships haven´t worked out and what you can do to start improving your relationships in general ! Family, friends, collegues, sentimental relationships, you´ll get a clue as to what to give & expect in return.
This isn't the type of book I usually read, but I found it very insightful into my life and the lives of people around me.
I found this book to be very interesting, and I feel I learned quite a bit after reading it. I would recommend this book to all married couples!
