This book is an additional resource to a topic that is familiar and yet subjective. Thanks for the insights.

Disrespect is a huge deal-breaker for me in any relationship. I like to think I respect everyone, but you never know. I will read this.

Respect is one of the fundamental need for better and harmonious society. It’s amazing how this book is only 74 pages yet filled with knowledge that will benefit readers in any age. Kudos to the reviewer for hyping this book and for its honest judgement.

This book is informative, educational, and timely. Although it is recommended largely for teens and parents, I believe everyone can benefit from the writer's experiences. The level of disrespect in society, by both adults and children, is colossal. I like the question and activities input. I hope the book will reach an appreciative audience. Delightful review!

One's borders end where another one's border start. It seems like a great book on respect. Thanks for a great insight!

It is titled 'Give and Receive' and talks about how we need to give value and respect to get respect in return.
Would love to read this part too! I think I'm going to read this book. Thank you for your review!

This sounds like a good read for those who want to know more about the concept of respect; I also think it's great that the author used real-life examples to prove her points. Thanks for the review.

Respect is a very unusual topic, because problems similar to those described occur daily and few people talk about it.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I have only read a sample so far but enjoyed the part where the author talks about respect being generational and changing over time. After reading your review, I would like to continue reading this book and look forward to the activities and questions. I too enjoy the way she wrote the book.

This seems like such an important topic! I'm glad the writing is clear so all readers can learn from this book. I also appreciate that the author addresses that not everyone is coming in with the same definition of respect, but that doesn't make it invalid. Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the review. Sounds like this book raises questions about how you perceive respect to be given and received.

At the crux of the discussion is how expected respect differs from person to person. That being said, it sounds like this book's message is how people can work together to get past those differences and ensure everyone can be treated in a respectful manner.

Are you serious? I always thought that all this "things that cause disrespect and how to earn respect" are lessons you should learn in childhood. It was what my parents did to me, what I taught my kids as well. I really don't understand how person can be grown up to read this book without knowing these things already.
