If you want to learn how to connect better with the important people in your life, this book provides an easy guide.
A lot of advice on relationships is very general, such as ‘ You need to communicate better’ or ‘have more quality time with each other’ or ‘work as a team’ but there is no detail about how to make these things happen, or what they look like. It is difficult to understand how relationships work, because the ingredients of a great relationship are mostly invisible.
‘Closer’ introduces my theory of emotional needs, called the 7 principles of connectedness.
Loving relationships
Workplace
Family
Friendships
Business partners
When you connect better emotionally, your relationships are significantly enhanced, increasing the likelihood of happiness and success.
You dont need more motivation, knowledge or someone telling you to "Think positive." What you need is for your internal life to catch up with the mask you wear which says "I'm fine."
How to Adult is for those who are capable and functional yet find themselves stuck in old patterns of behaviour, mental habits that dont stick, confidence that fluctuates, relationships that feel harder than they should.
Grounded in psychological science and written with clarity, warmth and bite, this book helps you stop self-sabotaging and instead guides you towards maturity by choosing to respond to the world in better ways. That's what adulting means.
