With almost 7 billion people on the planet, we're bound to run into communication problems sometimes. And though we know healthy relationships and a sense of community are essential for a healthy, happy and successful life, some of us are not equipped or quite prepared to deal with the situations and the life changes we sometimes face. CUE CARDS FOR LIFE is a handy, intuitive "how to" guide that can be easily applied in real life situations. In her private practice as a psychotherapist, Christina Steinorth noticed that many of her patients came in with the same communication problems. ... Read moreCouples would neglect their love relationships, parents would talk at their teens instead of talking to them and adults found few guidelines for interacting well with their ageing parents. In fact, most people seemed to put more thought into deciding what to have for dinner than they did in choosing what they said and how they behaved in important situations. As a result, something seemed to go wrong -- but they were unsure of exactly what. Steinorth made Cue Cards for her patients to help them with these recurring problems. Cue Cards are deceptively simple reminders and remedies that anyone can use to immediately improve just about any relationship. Each card is accompanied by a clear and encouraging explanation of the psychological principles that make the cue card work. These straightforward tips are so practical and down-to-earth that anyone can use them to communicate effectively with others, minimise conflict and handle life changes with greater ease. The book starts with an overview of communication basics, such as the importance of listening and eye contact, boundaries and personal space and nonverbal communication (body language). Steinorth then offers prompts that highlight what to say and do in a variety of situations. The book includes Cue Cards for improving communication/relationships in the areas of love, parent/teen interaction, caring for ageing parents, getting along with in-laws and in the workplace. There are, also, Cue Cards for weddings, parties and major social events. The book can be read cover to cover or readers can easily flip to sections relevant to their needs. The Cue Cards can, also, be used daily as an overall commitment to improved relationships in one's life or to creatively foster more harmonious relationships in a group or between individuals. Each card reminds the reader about some interpersonal basic, such as taking responsibility, earning respect, being honest, asking for help, being kind, being a good role model - even grooming! CUE CARDS FOR LIFE can help people improve their daily interactions. Most of us underestimate the power common courtesy and kindness have to improve all relationships and all of us encounter situations in life where we stumble a little. Sometimes we need a gentle reminder -- a cue card, a clue card -- to steer us back in the right direction. Show Less

"I enjoyed "Cue Cards for Life" not just because it gives out ideas that we can use in daily life but also that is easy to read and assimilate. Of course we all know most of these basic principles outlined in the book, but people like tend to "forget them" in the sometimes dysfunctional emotion and thinking in the fast lane of life. This is handy book for introspection, to keep to referring to as reminders of what is right and not just what gives transient emotional satisfaction at the cost of long term difficulties." - physicianwriter, Library Thing Reviewer "I appreciated this deceptively simple book of cue cards.
