  • The fundamental quality of befriending, recognizing the good, and having compassion for ourselves is foundational in how we show up in a relationship
  • Recognizing tension in relationships and developing practices to help you determine what to do or say and when
  • Asking yourself to choose harmony or truth and how if you routinely choose one, you can end up with neither.
  • Why it’s important to admit fault and how it’s a strength, not a weakness
  • Using wise speech is about how we say something can have more impact than what we say
  • The useful strategy of making small agreements that can improve larger issues in a relationship
