"Bestselling author, psychologist, and relationship coach Melanie Joy lays out the universal principles that can make any relationship, from personal to professional, healthier and more resilient"-- - Random House, Inc.
The award-winning author helps you build relational literacy by giving you the principles and tools to understand and practice healthy ways of relating.
Relationships are complicated. Yet itâs an unfortunate reality that while most of us have to learn complex geometry that weâll probably never use, we donât get a single formal lesson in how to relate to others. In this comprehensive guidebook, Joy reveals the common psychological dynamics that underlie all kinds of relationships: with a romantic partner, friends, family members, colleaguesâin short, with anyone in any situation. Understanding these dynamics can enable you to make all your relationships healthier and more resilient, and help you contribute to creating a better world.
Drawing on the most relevant research as well as on her own extensive experience as a psychologist, Joy explains how to strengthen your ârelational immune systemâ to resist not only interpersonal stressors but also largely invisible yet potentially devastating societal stressors like racism and sexism. With this understanding, you can cultivate relationships that consistently reflect core moral values and honor the dignity of everyone involved. Resilient relationships are a source of joy and fulfillment for those who are in themâand they also support the thriving of the organizations and communities of which we all are a part.
âA wise, practical, and well-researched template for creating healthy relationships of any kind . . . I recommend this book to anyone wishing to expand their social-emotional intelligence!â âSusan Campbell, PhD, author of Five-Minute Relationship Repair
