SUCCESSFULLY DIFFERENT is written to offer an alternative to the growing "quick fix" attitude that is tragically undermining family life in today's society. This book is a real eye-opener for pointing out the ways relationships are sabotaged by the misconceptions of how a family "should" be, how a marriage "should" be, how a friend "should" be. These unfortunate & misleading images are perpetuated, if not promoted, by advertisers & the media. SUCCESSFULLY DIFFERENT offers revealing insights to help accept others for the imperfect, yet special & different person they truly are, through personal honesty. Only after a person is honest with themselves can they be open with anyone else. Then, when personal honesty & self-respect are attained, the total acceptance of others will naturally follow. Most importantly, SUCCESSFULLY DIFFERENT encourages in very positive & uplifting ways how to strengthen any relationship. Acceptance, not change, is the key to living a harmonious life, full of love & respect.
