ABSTRACT

You live in a world of relationships. At work, at home, at school, in social andcivic gatherings, even during the course of daily business, you deal with peopleall day long. Such relationships are the source of much satisfaction-they provide love, intimacy, support, stimulation, and the feeling of being part of a “tribe.” Yet relationships can also be the scourge of your life and one of the biggest sources of stress.
