Proven ways to create a more loving family
Research proves that happy families are good for health,
longevity, peace of mind, productivity, and success. In The Secrets
of Happy Families, Scott Haltzman offers an original approach to
building family contentment that works for families of all
ethnicities and make-ups-two-parent, single-parent, blended,
childless, or same-sex couple. He provides a ‘positive psychology’
way of solving family problems through strategy and leadership,
including knowing and accepting who you are, taking a leadership
role in loving and united relationships, building a network of
support in extended families and communities, and making quality
time for fun, adventures, holidays, and rituals.
