This book was a game-changer for me. When tensions arise in a relationship, it is so easy to point the finger at the other person and feel sorry for one's self. After someone made a comment to me that awakened me, I found this book and realized that, in some ways, I have contributed to my own relationship failures or weaknesses. This book helps the reader to see the ways in which they subconsciously contribute to the demise of their relationships. Connections are made to childhood experiences that might have informed the way we think of relationships, disagreements, etc. Learning to recognize triggers can help a person to anticipate their own sabotaging behaviors and nip it in the bud.

I liked the structured ways to aid one in overcoming the behaviours, but I found my attention wandering at times. It was interesting, though.

This book would be great for someone who can't maintain a relationship. Not sure I'm going to get much out of it so I'm moving on to something else.
