Summary:

"From raising children to getting along with in-laws, what do people
with close and loving families do differently that those with
strained or unfulfilling relationships? Sociologists, therapists, and
psychiatrists have spent entire careers investigating the ins and
outs of family dynamics, yet their findings are inaccessible to
ordinary people, hidden in obscure journals to be shared with other
experts. Now, David Niven, the international bestselling author of
The 100 Simple Secret series has collected the most current and
significant data from more than a thousand of the best scientific
studies on families and then spelled out the findings in plain
English. The advice is based not on one person's unique experiences
or opinions, but offers for the first time the research of noted
scientists studying average American families. These findings have
been boiled down to one hundred essential ways to find and maintain
love, joy, and satisfaction in all family relationships. Each
statistic is accompanied by a true story about a real family showing
the results in action. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
