Customer Reviews
Unbelievably elementary
Save time and money - here’s the message: If you ignore the attempts at interaction (bids) from the people you love or are important to you, your relationships will suffer and likely end.
The only person that would benefit from such a basic concept is definitely not the person seeking information about how to better relate to others!! This book is offensively simple. It actually takes a “lab” to confirm that abusive responses - or none at all - are detrimental to relationships?! Gee, never would have guessed...
