I Don't Have to Make Everything All Better

Six Practical Principles That Empower Others to Solve Their Own Problems While Enriching Your Relationships

By: Gary Lundberg, Joy Lundberg

Narrated by: Stephen R. Thorne

In their weekly radio show and in their popular workshops, Gary and Joy Lundberg have already helped thousands of people and their families to communicate more effectively. Now, the Lundbergs address an all too common dilemma that arises when others expect you to solve their problems for them, telling listeners how they can shed the no-win role of "fixer" and empower people to solve their own problems through validation - a simple yet profound communication tool that is essential to any healthy relationship.

Refreshingly straightforward, this inspiring and entertaining work is poised to become a classic guide for anyone who wishes to improve relationships with their partner, children, colleagues, and friends.
