Big Talk with Dad - Building Warmth, Respect and Honesty with Your Father (Hardcover)

A powerful and moving book examining adult men's relationships with their fathers and how all too often communication dies or becomes strained and prickly in adulthood. Here men are shown how to have that 'big talk' to increase the connection between son and father. The 20th Century saw a breakdown in family relationships and Steve Biddulph explains that a half million year legacy of warm fatherhood has been lost. Steve asks, 'What could be more awful, lonely and despairing than in your last years of life, as you weigh up the meaning and value of your whole existence, to know that you have not connected with your grown up children?' Over the years, Steve Biddulph has written several books which have touched on many aspects of men's lives, among them their all too frequent poor relationship with their fathers. Letters began pouring in and it became clear that Steve had truly touched a chord. Steve's work has prompted many family reconciliations. The breakthrough these people made was so focussed, practical and achievable that Steve felt a blueprint should be shared and that this subject -- so core to the themes he lectures and writes about -- should be given a small, powerful book of its own, full of moving, real life stories.
