You don't need a book. You need to take up an intense and vigorous form of exercise.

I need a book that will help me stop being a jerk. I am cynical with my husband and friends. I want to be a better person and don't have the time for a therapist. Can anyone recommend a book that might give me ways to think of people and experiences differently? TIA!
