Relationships First edition

Relationships are a fundamental part of life. They can motivate us, help us grow, and direct us to be who we are and do the things we do. They can bring joy, meaning, and purpose into our lives. But if you're in the wrong relationship one that's dysfunctional or with the wrong partner, for example they can also be a source of frustration, pain, and unhappiness. Relationships are our great teachers. Dr. Mark R. Naim brings a holistic approach to relationship dynamics. In his work with countless individuals, he has helped them look into themselves, in an attempt to get them to understand all the factors that influence the formation and health of their relationships. Whatever the influences are that have shaped your life, it is ultimately the relationship you have with yourself and knowing who you really are that counts. When you understand what's really happening, you are in a position to make healthy choices that work and create changes for the better. When you have a healthy relationship with yourself, you can create great relationships with others. The key to creating the relationship you want can be found by asking three fundamental questions: Who am I? Where am I going? Who is going with me? As always, to find the right answers, you need to ask the right questions.
