About The Crankatsuris Method
Using good humor throughout, Steven Joseph observes that we typically do not hesitate to pour out our CrankaTsuris all over our spouses, kids, parents, and siblings-and then there can be a CrankaTsuris retaliation. Before you know it, you are in the middle of a CrankaTsuris food fight.
We’re all cranky at times, but it’s imperative we find a more effective way to be cranky while still making the world a happier place. In this book, learn how to:
– Create space for both yours and your family’s crankiness
– Utilize a fun “team” approach to crankiness
– Take steps to avoid being too cranky
– Improve communication with friends and family
– Handle cranky dinosaurs in your life (including children)
– Effectively diagnose and treat the “Common CrankaTsuris”
