Making Relationships Work: How to Love Others and Yourself by Alison Waines
To love others, you must love yourself first. Lack of self-worth is often at the root of unsatisfactory relationships. This book aims to help people improve their relationships by improving their self-esteem. The author offers a series of practical exercises to help this process. Topics covered include: the importance of self-esteem to healthy relationships, where things go wrong in relationships, assessing relationships, looking at patterns, trying to be someone else, compatibility, making changes in ourselves, making relationships work, friendship, and 'sub-personalities'.
