These skills do not seek to replace traditional therapy for those who need it. But most people do not need psychotherapy to deal with their problems. Most need help in a few areas and research over the past 20 years has demonstrated that relationships can be strengthened and problems resolved with the help of skills-building classes. LastingLove is undique in that it teaches three interpersonal skills sets plus financial literacy. These include Communications Skills, Conflict Resolution Skills, and Practicing Fidelity Skills. It provides participants with 10 rules for happy marriages. It is short, requiring only four two-hour classes. And it promotes values as well as teaching skills.

America’s mad romance with consumer debt is finally on the decline, and Farrell, economics editor for public radio’s Marketplace Money, guides readers to a healthier relationship with their finances. Personal finance is more than just money, he points out; it’s about deciding how to live a good life, figuring out what you really cherish and value, then putting your money behind those goals and beliefs—and how living environmentally conscious is a natural outgrowth (and happy consequence) of living within your means. He examines the evolution of consumer debt and moves on to offer concrete advice on dealing with risk and debt, putting savings aside for investing, college, retirement, charitable giving—and realizing if and when you have enough. With an emphasis on changing the way we live to make the most of what we have and promoting moderation, Farrell provides a solid and encouraging high-level overview of individual financial health.
