How to recover your natural state of happiness and clarity of purpose Through his deep experience as a family counselor, therapist, husband, parent and grandparent, Thomas Newnam's Try Softer offers us a clear, compassionate and practical guide to a revelation in consciousness: trying softer rather than harder uncovers the heart's innate treasure of wisdom, intuitive intelligence, and unconditional love of self and others. Soften, and let this book's tenderness flow into your heart.
