Relationship Owner's Manual
Kent co-authored Relationship Owner’s Manual, a book for strengthening and repairing relationships.
The basis of this book is a simple one: Every day we make choices.
Will those choices strengthen our relationship or weaken it?
What can you do as an individual to improve your relationship?
What can you and your partner do together to improve your relationship?
Relationship Owner’s Manual addresses these questions, and many more, providing you with essential ideas and practical skills for creating and participating in a healthy relationship.
This book can be purchased through Amazon, iUniverse, and direct purchase.
I Have a Choice?
Almost everyone just wants to be happy. For most people, their experience of happiness is directly related to how close and well connected they are to the people they care about. For many people, the 'how to' for creating those close and connected relationships remains elusive. After investing 45 minutes reading this book, you will have an immediately useable skill and tool which hundreds of people — including husbands, wives, teens, friends, employees, employers, teachers and others — have used and proven very effective for improving damaged and difficult relationships, and for creating new relationships that more deeply satisfy our need for love and belonging and genuine happiness. Good relationships do not happen by magic or accident, but rather by choice. "I Have a Choice?" Yes, indeed. Understand it, make it, and cultivate better relationships and greater personal happiness.
This book can be purchased through Lulu, Amazon, and direct purchase.
