How to Have Extraordinary Relationships
‘Wise, compassionate and no-nonsense.’ – Monique Roffey
How would you feel if all the key relationships in your life were not just good, but extraordinary?
Why simply survive when you could flourish? We all get stuck in certain behaviour patterns, or may find ourselves dissatisfied with our relationships - whether they're with our co-workers, friends, siblings or partners. Yet small fixes are right there at our fingertips and can make a huge difference to our happiness and wellbeing.
Each chapter of How to Have Extraordinary Relationships covers one of therapist and coach Lucy Cavendish’s seven key tips for improving our relationships:
- Active listening
- Empathy
- Change the narrative
- Healing yourself
- You are responsible for all your relationships
- You have choices – make different choices
- Be rigorous about where you put your energies
Using case studies and her own professional experience, Lucy offers examples, inspiration and clear, actionable advice to create a guide for anyone who wants to develop their communication skills, improve their relationships and reconnect with the crucial people in their lives.
