How to bring your best to all of life's relationships

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In relationships, we experience both the best and worst of ourselves. Growing Yourself Up helps you understand yourself by understanding your relationships. Drawing on Bowen family systems theory, the book explores each life stage to see predictable relationship patterns and then make self-adjustments to facilitate change. This 2nd edition of the bestselling book also examines how to effectively help others. The result is a sturdier self and a new view of life's challenges and opportunities.
