“As Larry mentions at the very beginning of the book you need to read it with an open mind. If you are going to resolve any conflicts you are currently experiencing, you will need to be flexible and willing to change. Otherwise, you’ll continue to remain in conflict with the person you are trying to get along with.

Chapter 2 is titled “Give Up Your Need to be Right, Not Your Needs.” When I was a teenager, still in high school and soon to graduate I decided that I was going to stop fighting with my Step-dad, who I call Dad. We would argue about anything and everything. We both needed to be right. Not knowing how to resolve this conflict, I just decided to give up the need to be right. Whenever I noticed my Dad and I getting into a debate I would stop arguing. I didn’t tell him I thought he was right, but I didn’t tell him I thought he was wrong. Our relationship started to change. We didn’t fight anymore and our relationship is very positive now. I wanted to get along with my Dad, not fight with him. My need was about getting along, not about being right.”

I have used a similar approach in other relationships and it works.
