Book Review:
This bestselling book offers a uniquely engaging and insightful look into the dynamics of family life and relationships. The genius of ''Families and How to Survive Them'' lies in its format: a conversation between family therapist Dr. Robin Skynner and his former patient, comedian John Cleese. This pairing combines profound psychological wisdom with hilarious wit and everyday language.

Together, they explore vital questions about how we choose partners, fall in love, raise children, and grow into healthy (or unhealthy) adults. The book breaks down complex psychological concepts into simple, down-to-earth advice that is accessible to everyone. Described as ''unusual, demanding, potent and often funny,'' it’s a book that has genuinely changed people's lives by providing a clear, practical, and often entertaining guide to understanding why we behave the way we do in our most important relationships.
