I discovered Making Molehills Out of Mountains at a very low point in my life—and what a difference it has made for me and my family. I was feeling overwhelmed, having just given birth, starting a new business, and continuing with my education. Needless to say my family had taken a backseat to everything else and the wear and tear was starting to show. Making Molehills Out of Mountains was a God-send to me! Nothing about this book was simple yet Dr. Frisch’s words were easy to understand and apply to all of my long-suffering relationships.

It’s amazing how much better my relationships have become as I began to feel better about myself.

I highly recommended Making Molehills Out of Mountains for those who truly want that special relationship to work! This would be a great book for new couples to read together, not just before they are in crisis, but as a way staying out of crisis. For those in a troubled relationship, you might want to read this yourself first, and work on your own issues. Dr. Frisch has a directness that can be intimidating to some - but for some of us, we need that extra push. This book is on my must have list for newlyweds as well as those in trouble.

One of the finest things in life is to have a great relationship with other people. Making Molehills Out of Mountains gives you the necessary background to move in that direction. The book is extremely well structured for easy use both as a book and as a workbook. The process involved is a good one. The steps are extensive, but you can take them in bite-sized amounts. Before you are done, you will be sharing what you have done with your partner. I have to believe that anyone who was told that their partner had been working on these questions and exercises would be very impressed by the commitment to the relationship that this effort represented. It can help overcome a lot of thoughtlessness that may have preceded that sharing.

I can’t tell you how much just that one skill has changed my life!

Thank you Dr. Frisch! You have taught me what no previous amount of failures in my relationships could teach me—that is how to let go of the power struggles that I created and how to be truthful with the people in my life. For problems that were so big in my life, your solutions were so simple to understand and apply. Making Molehills Out of Mountains is a must read for anybody confounded by how to begin enjoying their relationships rather than merely enduring them!
