Recommended Reading: Relationships, Parenting, & Self-Help

Whew… six years of schooling and 30 years of continuing education… that’s a LOT of reading! I’m often asked what book I would recommend for this or that. Fortunately, there are SO many wonderful books out there that can help us navigate the complexities of life, relationships, parenting, and emotions. And when people complain to me, “Well, my kid/marriage didn’t come with a manual…” I politely inform them that while that is true, there ARE these handy dandy things called libraries and bookstores that are chock-full of manuals… called books :-). More than you’ll ever need, in fact.

That being said, as much as there is out there, I’m a “less is more” kind of guy. As such, for each of my three main areas of focus (Marriage Coaching, Parent Training, and Self-Mastery), I’ve chosen my TOP PICK if I were only able to recommend just one book for that category. The rest are great, too. This list is by no means comprehensive. These are some of my most common go-to’s that have been field-tested and client-approved.
