SUMO Your Relationships [PDF ebook] 
How to handle not strangle the people you live and work with

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?
Are you a hero or a zero to other people? Do you see yourself as
others really see you? Do you need to make a fresh deposit into
your relationship account before you go overdrawn?

S.U.M.O. Your Relationships will help you manage, maintain, grow
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
difficult relationships, whether it’s with a colleague, parent,
friend or partner. Isn’t it time you did a stock take of your
relationships and started making the best of them?

S.U.M.O. Your Relationships has pit stops, pearls of wisdom and
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
future.

PRAISE FOR S.U.M.O. YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

‘This book is full of wisdom, common sense and practical ideas
on improving relationships. An essential read.’

–ALLAN PEASE, Co-author of THE DEFINITIVE BOOK OF BODY
