Many people throughout the world are struggling with self-esteem which not only impacts themselves but their relationships.

The skills presented in my book are invaluable and essential for living a happy and meaningful life.

 What is the most important life skill that needs to be learned?

Learning how to love yourself and feel worthy is the most important life skill and the first stepping block to navigating all other relationship skills.

The foundation for a successful relationship is mutual respect, trust, communication and accountability. If one of these pillars is missing within the foundation the relationship will dissolve.

Testimonials, Praise

I have read a lot of self-help books. Many very insightful, many filled with empty platitudes that indulged the author, but did little for me. After reading Laura Garrett's clever book, I was impressed at how accessible her story was and helpful the tools were that she offered. I have read this book twice and will continue to use it as a workbook when my spouse and I get into troubled waters and forget how important compassion, empathy and honest communication is to a healthy relationship. Thank you, Laura, for putting your thoughts together. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to think honestly about how they can have a healthier relationship with their partner as well as themselves.

I found this book offers many helpful techniques to work through different kinds of relationships. The author writes in an easy to understand an enjoyable style.
