Description
You Are In This Book! And, you ARE Damaging Your Relationships With The Words You Use
Because human beings learn to use language as children, we’re ALL prone to communication and conflict mistakes as adults. We say the wrong things. We send messages we don’t intent to send. We get reactions that both surpise us and cause grief for ourselves. Worse, though, our ineffective language habits damage our relationships with spouses, children, other family members, friends and at work with colleagues and “superiors”. Sometimes the damage is minor. Sometimes relationships founder on the rocks of consistently bad ways of talking. Regardless if you find yourself in unnecessary arguments, or unable to solve sticky and persistent issues in your marriage, dating relationships and family, here’s a solution.
Imperfect Phrases For Relationships: 101 COMMON Things You Should Never Say To Someone Important To You…And What To Say Instead is a unique, practical and hands-on book that will teach you what NOT to say, and how to replace “imperfect phrase” (ones that harm relationships), with effective phrases. Rather than deluging you with theories and principles, this book contains one hundred and one phrases to eliminate, and provides better options, so you no longer end up in arguments that waste time and energy. It’s compact, to the point, and you can start improving your relationships NOW.
Take advantage of the suggested activities to use this book with your significant other so you can learn together, or use it on your own to improve existing relationships, and start new ones off on the right foot.
Use it on your own, or with someone important to you!

Simple phrases to eliminate
A great tool for identifying phrases that cause relational difficulties. I found myself remembering quite a few circumstances where arguments had resulted from some of them.
Pros:I like the format of the book, in that, it succinctly breaks each chapter into 3 sections: the imperfect phrase/s, what it/they really mean/s, and how to better rephrase it/them. The “make it better” section has been pretty insightful, practical, simple, and effective. The overall format is concise and to-the-point, which I especially like. It has been a beneficial tool for me (so far) since I’m from another culture and country. However, I cannot unwaveringly recommend it yet, at least not until the following cons have been rectified.Cons:1) I do not, at all, appreciate some of the profane innuendos Robert uses. Today, I was reading about the phrase “Get off my back” (#17) and the author in his explanation of the phrase says, “You might as well say, “F*** off”,…” (the author did not spell out the actual words, but instead (thankfully) used asterisks)!! Now, was that really necessary to include, as part of his “explanation”? Imagine your young son/daughter picking up the book and opening up to this section at home, and then comes over to you and asks you for the meaning of those words (F*** off)!! How would you like that?? And, lets say, little Johny decides to use “F*** off” in school with his friends because he learned it from daddy’s book on how to communicate better with mommy!!2) In the beginning of the book, I encountered several spelling errors! It seems that thorough proof-reading and editorial efforts to achieve/surpass the overall quality was compromised at the expense of getting the book out in the market prematurely. I still have 2/3rds of the book left to finish reading.Overall, it’s a good tool to learn healthier communication patterns. I also like most of the material because of its conciseness and practicality. I have grown to communicate better with my wife, thanks to some of the principles and examples outlined in this book. Nevertheless, I do find some content objectionable and unnecessary, as described above. I would be cautious and a bit hesitant to recommend this book, at this point, to many of my friends – especially with kids.
