Hi Jeff,

I’ve got a reading recommendation, though it’s not a book, and it won’t cost you a cent. My personal and relational growth progressed dramatically as I began to understand the ideas in Al Turtle’s website. If you get into it, I think you’ll find his views are unconventional yet to my mind, make a lot of sense. He’s a retired couples therapist who earlier in his life, decided to really drill down into why most relationships are unsatisfying, if not failing altogether. He is available by phone and I’ve spoken to him many times. There are solutions…

Anyway, I see myself in much of what you write, so maybe this will be of interest to you.
