Real Relationships: From Bad to Better and Good to Great Paperback – July 9, 2019

This book was very helpful to me in a time when a friend & I were going through a hard time in our friendship. I also like that the book features chapters for just about every kind of relationship, which makes it very versatile. I love this content. Highly recommend.

I purchased this reading as a requirement for my college study course. I said, "just what a needed, more boring study text reading!"To my surprise, Real Relationships: From Bad to Better and Good to Great is a very useful and applicable reading for today's world. I found myself reading more than I needed to. In fact, I have been recommending it to anyone that wants to figure out the whys, the hows, the "then what" about relationships. A must read in my opinion!

I thought it was a very positive book in many ways and gave pointers for improving relationships. The authors did not seem to intend to make anyone feel bad if they were not good at relationships and it seemed like they thought anyone could be good at relationships. They did not go to the "dark side," much, which was okay, I guess as that was not their emphasis. All in all, I thought it was very encouraging book and I want to take their class on relationships if they still offer it and if I'm not too old.

I bought this book for a class I would be having. It's a wonderful read, however regardless of courses. It teaches you to really be in tune with yourself, and how that will assist you in your future relationships with others. Dr. Les and Leslie Parrot also have a wonderful way of communicating to the readers, and it's enjoyable to hear about their own experiences with the subject as well as their work.

By the description on the cover, I thought the assessment would be included. However, the assessment is NOT included, and it is $20 to take it online. I am not sure how helpful the book is without that. It isn’t a problem with the seller... it’s more of a problem with the publisher that it isn’t clear on the cover/description.

I needed this for a college course. I really got a lot out of this book. I plan on keeping this book. It really helps you to deal with relationships and look at yourself regarding relationships you have. I would recommend this book to anyone who desires to have healthier relationships with family, girlfriend/boyfriend, friendships, or marriage.

Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott have provided practical, insightful wisdom for anyone that wants to be in a real relationship. It isn't an quick-fix process. It is hope for anyone who has lived in dysfunctional or even functional homes. Real relationships require real work. This is a great resource for anyone willing to do the work.
