Think of your relationships as the channel through which communication flows. When there’s tension in a relationship, the channel constricts and communication becomes frustrating and exhausting. When there’s trust and goodwill in a relationship, the channel opens and communication becomes satisfying and energizing.

In my book, I draw on the latest findings in psychology and neuroscience to help couples and groups understand the dynamics that close the communication channel, and the strategies that open it back up again. Best of all, I draw on my own experiences to show how you can apply these strategies to your daily life.
