How to get along with other people Book

While I don't have any huge issues with forgiveness, like I refuse to speak to someone, I haven't let go of some petty offenses from people in the past that I really should let go of and that's why I was interested in reading this book. Here are some quotes that made an impact on me from the book:

"What is becoming frighteningly obvious is that some people believe that relationships are expendable and people are disposable. Living in a throwaway age, we have become accustomed to getting rid of that which is no longer functioning properly."

"Anyone who angers you, conquers you. If only people understood how much power they yield to those who have caused them to feel anger and hatred. They permit another person to rob them of something as precious as their sense of well being and personal happiness."

"When we are more concerned about proving our righteousness than we are about setting right a relationship, the progress toward reconciliation can come to an abrupt stop. As we speak, so must we be able to listen - in order to understand better what has gone wrong and what is necessary to make things right."

This book speaks specifically to families who are struggling with forgiveness more than just general forgiveness, so I would recommend the book to someone who was having a problem with a family member.
