Unconditional positive regard. Doesn’t sound easy. It isn’t! But it’s worth thinking about.

It starts with not judging yourself and being open to learning to think differently and enjoy better relationships - with everyone from your children, your family, your partner, friends, colleagues. It’s not easy but Michelle Charfen gives a brilliant introduction.

Michelle Charfen is so generous and not at all afraid to say how difficult changing and learning can be. She’s a beacon of keeping on trying, thinking, trying again, thinking, trying again. You can’t ask more than that.

She talks about what she’s learned through the lens of parenting because that’s the experience that brought her to the knowledge and perspective she’s sharing.

It’s applicable to anyone.
