Praise for Radical Collaboration

This book opened my eyes and has given me the tools to collaborate with a clear head. The first section of the book identifies the signs you are becoming defensive, the second part elaborates and helps you explore your subconscious to discover why you are really becoming defensive. It has become easy for me to identify when my response to a situation is irrational due to all of my underlying insecurities weighing in. The book also does a great job pointing out your flaws without making you dwell on the past, it has the intention of exciting you to do better in the future. The last part of the book helps you with techniques for effective collaboration. I recommend this book to everyone, I think it will add value to anyone's life.
―Reader Synopsis

I am a psychotherapist, and not only have I found this book to be an excellent summation of ways to help improve ALL relationships, but it has also become a good tool I use as I go through the book with my clients. Want to have better relationships? Figure out what your own defenses are and why you have them. Then learn how to deal with your own, and with those defenses that other people have. Then with an increased sense of safety, openness becomes much easier. This is a very well written, easy to read pathway to improved relationships. What could be more valuable?
