Things No One Taught Us About Love: How to Build Healthy Relationships with Yourself and Others

Humans are social creatures. But it’s nearly impossible to build healthy, lasting relationships with others without a good relationship with ourselves. To fit in with others, we often change our habits or hide our uniqueness. By trying to change or suppress our true selves, we undermine our self-esteem and self-knowledge. We begin to lose sight of who we really are and what we really want. When our self-understanding and self-confidence are damaged, it ultimately hurts our relationships. In this transformative book, bestselling author Wex King shows us how to find and maintain the connections we want with ourselves and others. Good relationships start with loving ourselves and acknowledging our own wants and needs. This allows us to radiate confidence and attract and choose partners—romantic and platonic—who are truly compatible with us.
