Publisher's summary

In their weekly radio show and in their popular workshops, Gary and Joy Lundberg have already helped thousands of people and their families to communicate more effectively. Now, the Lundbergs address an all too common dilemma that arises when others expect you to solve their problems for them, telling listeners how they can shed the no-win role of "fixer" and empower people to solve their own problems through validation - a simple yet profound communication tool that is essential to any healthy relationship.

Refreshingly straightforward, this inspiring and entertaining work is poised to become a classic guide for anyone who wishes to improve relationships with their partner, children, colleagues, and friends.

Life-changing book

After a lifetime of being a decent listener and feeling like I had to help “fix” everyone’s problems, this book has given me emotional permission to just listen and validate. I can already see how it is helping all of my relationships. This book is a game-changer.
