10 Tools for Building Better Relationships By Alan C Fox l Stronger Relationships l Happier Life l Happy Relationships

Over the course of my lifetime, I’ve often found myself saying, “I wish someone would have told me that when I was 20 years old!”

After 74 years on earth, which have included a successful real estate career, a wonderful family, and a loving marriage, I’ve learned a lot. I've shared that wisdom with my own children and grandchildren over the years by breaking it down into simple lessons or skills.

I call these skills “people tools.” They are simple behavioral techniques that I’ve used over the years to better understand myself and those around me, and as a result build better relationships and a happier life. I’ve written an entire book full of People Tools (54 to be exact). Here are my top ten. I hope you will find them as thought provoking and useful as I have!
