And they say "I don't need or want any friends" when in fact they're so lonely!! I will pray for them. Great book; teaches you how to interact EFFECTIVELY. Even though we like to think we are all perfect..we're not; especially when in comes to dealing with people.

Criticism is valuable, but it doesn't have to be delivered in a heartless way. But I think criticizing Not This Time would be a lot of fun. asdf has a point, but i think that the meaning of "respect" needs to be defined and redefined all the time. "Respect" isn't a given and a lot of people have no effing clue what it means, so having some guidelines might actually help spell it out to such people. Anyway, thanks. That was interesting.

No other rules really necessary. There is one basic rule that doesn’t encourage deceitful behaviour: respect the other person. No other rules really necessary.
