Empathic listening saved me and our relationship

I read this book years ago but this time I actually listened to the messages. No longer having the I know it all attitude this book has turned my life around. Morning exercises, goals, empathic listening with my gorgeous girl, win win with our gorgeous lil ones. This has been amazing for me. Must read (with an open mind!)

Great fundamentals

Great fundamentals for living life, well worth a read/listen. Will probably listen to again in a year. Gets a little preachy at the end but that is my only minor gripe.
