Thank you to all who came to book club last night, although we missed those who could not be there. We always have such a wonderful time together and our discussions on and off topic are so good. The Moonflower Vine was a delightful book full of character and family relationships. Although each family is unique in their struggles and connectivity, families are meant to belong to each other and that is something we all share.
Our next book will be hosted by Heather Otte on June 7th at 7pm. We are hoping for good weather so we can enjoy her wonderful deck. Her book pick is:
Goodreads review says:
"Why won’t my husband ever express his feelings?"
“Why won’t my wife listen?"
“Why is my sister such a control freak?"
"Why does my ex act like such a total jerk?"
“What’s wrong with people?”
We all have someone we can’t get along with—whether it’s a friend or colleague who complains constantly, a relentlessly critical boss, an obnoxious neighbor, a teenager who pouts and slams doors (all the while insisting she’s not upset), or maybe a loving, but irritating spouse.
In his bestselling book, Feeling Good, Dr. David Burns introduced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a clinically proven, drug-free therapy that has revolutionized the treatment of clinical depression throughout the world. Now, in Feeling Good Together, he presents Cognitive Interpersonal Therapy, a radical new approach that will help you transform troubled, conflicted relationships into successful, happy ones.
A Goodreads reader says: This is a great book about communications. It has you take personal responsibility for your communication, then teaches you to listen and to act on what you hear, rather than to react, and cause more problems. Good skill building book for all types of relationships, not just marriage. A book everyone should read.
Heather was excited about this book and just kept going back to it for her choice for this next month. We have 5 weeks to read this time so enjoy the book and we will see you next month.
