Talking Help wanted... Know any good books?

Help wanted...

Our "sticky post" section is a bit thin. I could use a little help filling it up. If you guys will post on this thread links to any books you think are useful I'll put the links up in the "stickys" for future reference.

thanx

Mike

I found the book "Perfect Daughters" by Dr. Robert Ackerman to be really helpful. I don't have a link, but I've seen it at Barnes and Noble many times.

Hi Mike,

This is silly inner child sort of question... but where do we post it...? Here?
The resources sticky is closed.

I recently got Tony A.'s Laundry list book. It puts the programme together in a really simple, easy to understand way. its out of print, but can be bought second hand.

thanks mate,
David.

Amazon.com: Safe People: How to Find Relationships That Are Good for You and Avoid Those That Aren't (0025986210847): Henry Cloud, John Townsend: Books

Here is an interesting book that has the steps workbook with it about forgiving guilty parents.

ooops !!! um, yeah, that was a silly inner child sort of goof I made

Yes, please post all the book links on this thread right here, along with any discussion on the particular book. What I will do is merge the various book threads that are spread all over the place into a single thread and then move that new thread up into the stickies.

Thanks for pointing that out, David

Mike
p.s. We keep the sticky posts locked because they show up on Google searches for _decades_. Then some new person in a world of pain arrives here thru a Google re-direct and has no idea that they dropped into the middle of a sticky post that most peeps won't look at.
