Synopsis

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.

From the Inside Flap

The quality of your relationships dramatically impacts your
level of happiness and success in life. In this brutally honest, practical,
personal and humorous book, the S.U.M.O. approach shines fresh light on the
world of relationships both in and out of the workplace. S.U.M.O.
encourages you to 'Shut Up' blaming others and to 'Move On' to explore new
and powerful ways of building better relationships.

S.U.M.O. Your Relationships identifies seven character types. You might
have met some of them...

The Ditherer: A Ditherer would take a holiday every year in the land of
procrastination. If only they could decide how to get there.

The Commander: Loves to take control. It's a dog eat dog world out there
and if you're not careful, you are next on the menu.

The Hijacker: There's no conversation that can't be interrupted when the
Hijacker is around, so don't expect to make it off the verbal runway.

The Awfuliser: Having a bad day? Let the Awfuliser make it feel a whole lot
worse.

The Happy: Need some sunshine in your life? The Happy will dazzle you so
much you'll soon be running for a quiet, darkened room again.

The Whinger: Why achieve anything when you can moan about it instead?
Life's a drag, so why not tell everyone?

The Swinger: A change is as good as a rest, so they say. Who needs rest
when you can change your mind as often as you change your underwear?

You will discover how to deal with all these characters, and perhaps just
as importantly, you'll also discover how to build a better relationship
with yourself. It's time to stop wearing the victim T-shirt and start
taking control of how you deal and interact with others.
