The tools you need to improve

Revisado: 06-06-22

Firts off, I am usually cynical when it comes to self-help or personal improvement books, podcasts or articles. They always seem to promise a lot up front, but then either offer vague platitudes, or specific steps that are unworkable. Second, of course I am going to say this book is different. Personally, I listened to the audiobook, and it worked well. This book can be listened to in doses, paused, and thought about before listening to more. For me, listening during a commute or long drive made the material more accessibe. So, here is why you should listen to this book:

1. What this book covers.

Lair presents advice for people who want to improve their relationships. He breaks the process down into several steps, however unlike a lot of other "step" processes or programs, these steps have value in themselves. For instance, "midfulness" is not a new concept, but Lair presents mindfulness in a way that has direct application to how you live your life and view your relationships. I found myself applying Lair's ideas not just to my personal relationships, but in other areas of my life as well. Lair then gives several techniques that you can use to ensure that you are being the best, most responsible person you can be for those who are most important to you. If you do this, you will see improvement in your relationships. This seems obvious enough, however I was constantly surprised when I applied Lair's approach at how inconsistent, if not insufficient, I was at this. I was just missing a lot and had no idea. In short, this book will give you the tools you need to ensure you are showing up as your best person for the people who matter most to you.

2. This book helpls people in every stage of a relationship.

Surprisingly, this book is not just for people who are experiencing significant relationship problems. It is for anyone who wants to improve how they show up in relationships. I have found that the book is an outstanding way to take stock of how I approach relationships, and the audiobook lets me set my own pace and pause whenever needed. Sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for couple of weeks.

3. How difficult is it to use.

I found that there were more than a few complex concepts in the book that I had to rewind and listen to a few times. However, there was nothing I couldn't understand, and I think that will be true for the majority of readers or listeners. It helps that Lair does not preach - he offers tools and solutions for you to take or leave. Lair comes across as a brother or cousin who has found some things that could be truly helpful, and we would all be wise to listen to what he has learned.

Anyone who is interested in improving their relationships (and I doubt anyone would be reading reviews of this book if they weren't) will find value in this book, and be given ways to make those improvements. It has worked for me, and it will work for anyone who gives it a chance.
