Infuse Relationships with YOU" explore these different levels. They know that by understanding the various roles relationships play in our lives, we can better identify what types of connections we want from them. This book empowers us to learn more about ourselves and encourages us to use this knowledge to choose, develop, and cultivate healthy relationships.Through the book's coupling of narratives and emotional pieces, we're given the chance to experience the richness of three active relationships: a tumultuous relationship; a close platonic relationship that offers support and stability during the rough times; and a new relationship, which is actually developing between the book's storyteller and the reader. The storyteller weaves narratives, stories, and emotional pieces to create an experience for the reader. The reader actually gets to feel the relationships start, grow, and end-and see where things went right-or wrong-along the way. It's a good read. Through its Self-Discovery sections, we're provided the opportunity to observe, reflect, discuss, and practice the concepts profiled in the book. It's through this self-discovery phase that we're able to answer the questions: "How does this relate to me?" and "What should I do about it?"
