‘The secret to happier relationships is to listen with empathy, understand yourself with compassion, speak to be heard and act with care for everyone’s needs.’
Alice Sheldon, author of Why Weren’t We Taught This at School, is featured in the Take a Break October monthly special.

“It, at times, is an intensely personal experience in a book. I can’t say I have ever had that before with a business book like I have with a novel, however perhaps this isn’t really just a business book. It can help with people managers, with working with colleagues, indeed with any professional relationships. However it can also help with raising children, with family relationships, with friends, everyone.”
Review of Alice Sheldon‘s Why Weren’t We Taught This at School? in HR Director.
The author is really onto something with the contents of this book. Readers are walked through a simple model to support better life choices, a more calm and human approach to life through the model of Needs Understanding. I just didn’t expect what I got from the title, cover and blurb.
