One of life’s biggest challenges is finding the right means of communication. Communication is an important tool in any relationship, be it with our parents, our siblings, our coworkers, and especially our loved ones. Being able to effectively communicate our own needs and wants while also acknowledging the needs of others is an important aspect of life which is often missed when we are lost in our own minds, and being able to communicate those challenges is essential to growing as a person.
In author Steven Joseph’s Cranky Superpowers: Life lessons Learned from the Common CrankaTsuris Chronicles, the author shares a collection of short stories, personal anecdotes, and memories to showcase the importance of maintaining relationships, and the humor which can be found in our daily lives.
