Daniel A. Hughes8 Keys to Building Your Best Relationships (8 Keys to Mental Health)

This book was very helpful to me in identifying what was getting in the way of making friends. I also learned some strategies that I could use right away in handling situations that had the potential to end in a negative way for me and the other person. My husband is a Pastoral Counselor and I recommended it to him for use with his counselees. I was also encouraged in that there were some strategies that I am already using that are helpful in honest communication with my friends and family. I listened to the book as an audiobook from my library and liked it so much and wanted to see some of the exercises and give them more thought, so I ordered the book. I would highly recommend this book

The best relationship books ill ever read!! So well written the writer is very smart and very informative!! I love this book!!

I use many of Hughes' streamlined assignments for creating healthier relationships with my clients in residential treatment for dual diagnosis. Some of these exercises have expedited healing in some of my most severely traumatized adult clients.

I am still learning new techniques to help me get through some struggles that will eventually be all good and for now it is just one day at a time and it is a learning process that I can use in my own relationship as well as help others

Fantastic book! Very clear and easy read.

I am presently using this book with 3 clients. Very readable and the exercises enhance understanding. The best definitions for Attachment Styles I have ever seen.

Very helpful book indeed.

Just what I needed. This probably saved me a few relationships and counting lol. It's amazing to me how hard skills are easily learned and were more heavily emphasized when I was in school yet even more important life skills such as those presented in this book, ie emotional, reflective, relationship skill are so rarely taught in school. A must read for anyone looking to build healthy, stable relationships with others. Vital for business, improving social skills/relationships, marriage!

An invaluable book for professionals to share with parents they work with and support.

thank you

A phenomenal book that will be passed on to many in the family as a means to greater self-awareness and healthier relationships. Excellent, clear writing with many useful questions and small exercises. A life changer.
