About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the million-copy bestselling author of The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read, to help you with the most important relationships in your life
Life is all about relationships and the quality of those connections, whether that's with family, partners, friends, colleagues or most importantly yourself. If you can get those relationships on a functional and even keel, then the other tricky stuff that life throws your way becomes easier to manage.
In this warm, practical and witty book, No.1 Sunday Times bestselling psychotherapist Philippa Perry shows you how to approach life's big problems.
How do you find and keep love? What can you do so that arguments don't feel torturous? How can you get unstuck and cope with change and loss? What does it mean to you to be content? Are other people just annoying or are you the problem
With a healthy dose of sanity, Philippa Perry's compassionate advice could help you become a happier, wiser person.
Includes some material adapted from the Ask Philippa columns in Observer Magazine.

Straightforward language.
I liked the author's no nonsense approach in tackling the issues covered in this book. I also appreciated the author's expressed compassion for certain personal dilemmas. Plus how each pearl of wisdom was summarised at the end of each chapter. Finally, I do believe there was wisdom in this book and beautiful sincerity. The book has been helpful to me. Thank you xxx

A solidly helpful and compassionate book.
This is a real gem.
Read so well that the meaning is crystal clear and resonates without distraction.
It will ease anyone's way through life, smoothing off any sharp corners that one might have the misfortune to bump into, or unwittingly create.
if there's one 'self help / do it like this' book
you should read, it is this!
Thank you so much Philippa Perry.
