When it comes to relationships, reality rules. We’d all like to
think of ourselves as everyone’s best friend, but what’s the truth?

others really see you? Do you need to make a fresh deposit into
your relationship account before you go overdrawn?

and move on, in your key relationships with others and yourself. At
some point in your life you are going to have to deal with

friend or partner. Isn’t it time you did a stock take of your
relationships and started making the best of them?

all the humour and inspiration you need to make the key changes in
your life. You will discover the seven S.U.M.O. realities
followed by seven insights to help light the way to a brighter
