Lil, thanks for the welcome! I'm so encouraged and excited to find this group of deep thinkers who are unwilling to 'hate' people with ideas different from their own, but rather to learn from them. That is why the question you asked seems perfectly suited to Hubski. Even if mk doesn't like self-help books - he obviously agrees that walking with the wise makes us wise.

I'm thankful that you've shared your titles and reasons for appreciating them. I have a daughter that I think will benefit from Difficult Conversations.

Your post reminds me that instructional books save time and help us to avoid 'reinventing the wheel'. If someone else has learned better ways of doing things, I'd rather learn from their mistakes than make my own.

I also have a daughter of the sort. We should talk.

Welcome SG! We do our best to keep it civil. FYI if there is a issue, look into ignoring and/or muting on the FAQ page (the link is on the bottom). But, typically we just don't respond to people that try to take the conversation elsewhere.

Thanks! I'm hoping to forget about the mute button, and hoping that it is never necessary to remember it, though, thankful you have included it (is that like the fighter pilot's eject button?).

Thank you for putting so much effort into creating Hubski!
