Getting Relationships Right Anna Crowe

IN THIS ONE-STOP GUIDE, Melanie Joy reveals the common psychological dynamics that underlie all kinds of relationships--with a romantic partner, friends, family members, col-leagues--in short, with anyone in any situation. Relationships are like bodies: they get sick when their immune system is weaker than the germs that stress them. Joy explains how to strengthen your relational immune system to resist both interpersonal stressors and potentially devastating societal stressors, such as gender and age discrimination. Resilient relationships--which reflect integrity and honor dignity--not only are a source of joy and fulfillment for those who are in them but also support the thriving of the organizations and communities of which we all are a part.
