Red flags, green flags

In Red Flags, Green Flags , Dr. Ali Fenwick offers us a definitive guide to decoding our daily dramas, with tools to differentiate toxic behaviors from healthy ones, conduct relationships with maturity in all areas of life and deepen self-knowledge.

Is your daily life full of avoidable drama? Are you in a casual relationship that's stuck? Do you wish you could recognize someone's toxicity before committing to a friendship? Or are you tired of certain company but have trouble setting boundaries?

To escape situations like these, we need to be aware of the signs people give us. These so-called red and green flags help us identify, in all types of relationships, the behaviors that are good and bad for us—whether from others or ourselves—and evaluate the best way to respond. In this guide to modern life, Dr. Ali Fenwick, a psychologist specializing in human behavior, maps and unravels a series of harmful attitudes and prepares us not to flee from them at the first warning sign, but to address them responsibly, thus deepening our self-knowledge.

Addressing themes such as family, friendships, work, and romantic relationships in their various phases, Red Flags, Green Flags offers readers the tools they need to manage the most complex adversities, such as manipulative partners, parents who put excessive pressure on their children, and bosses who take credit for employees' work. Learn from Dr. Ali Fenwick how to decode daily dramas, analyzing the context and reasons behind our actions, and what to consider when deciding whether to stay in a relationship or leave it.
