Daring to Trust
by David Richo
Four directions of trust (in others, in yourself, in life, in a higher power), how childhood sets them, how betrayal breaks them, and how to rebuild. Richo's gentle, practice-heavy style applied to the hardest relationship skill.
Read it if…
you have been betrayed and want to trust again without being naive.
Skip it if…
you want a quick fix; trust takes the time the book says.
Three things you will actually use
- Trust is a risk taken with eyes open.
- Self-trust comes first.
- Betrayal teaches discernment, not withdrawal.
Do this first
Rate yourself in the four directions of trust and start with the lowest.
Our verdict
Trust, in four directions.
