How to Talk to the People You Love is based on the premise that many men and women have difficulty expressing themselves to people they already know well. Intimate conversations allow people to express their feelings and opinions honestly. By offering advice on combining coolness with compassion, logic with understanding, affection with discipline, and trust with candor, Don Gabor shows us how to converse assertively and openly with common sense, insight, and love. Practical advice for intimate conversations with friends, lovers, spouses, parents, and kids is offered for topics such as: — Building better friendships — Turning a friend into a lover — Patching up a lovers’ quarrel — Discovering your child’s hidden feelings — Improving your family’s conversation network In addition to numerous examples, the book features Conversation Clinics at the end of each chapter to tackle special situations. How to Talk to the People You Love can help you reach new, more profound levels of intimacy on a daily basis.
