Do Less-- And Be Loved More: How to Really Relate to Others

Do you really want to know how to get along with others, not only get along, but really "relate"? This book is a clear guide on how to listen, really listen, so that everyone is appreciated for their sensitivity and no one ends up a persecutor, a victim, or a rescuer. Instead of trying to relate to others, Peg gives helpful guidelines on how to simply be with others. You don't have to try to please others anymore (even though you still like to), and they will love you more because you support them and because you retain your own unique presence. This book will help you clear away the psychological mud that may have accumulated in your relationships and help you rediscover your ability to resolve interpersonal problems in a forgiving, non-judgmental atmosphere.

Peg Tompkins is the mother of eight children, a registered Ph.D. in hypnotherapy, and an avid community service volunteer. She has been a director of a crisis intervention and referral hotline in Yorba Linda, California.
