According to Axel Hacke's “On cheerfulness in difficult times and the question of how important the seriousness of life should be to us” and the book by presenter Bärbel Schäfer, also has a good chance of winning the title from Philippa Perry's, “The book you wish your loved ones would read.”
After her first bestseller, the second is about relationships.
If we want to know how to have a good relationship, taking a look at the book won't hurt.

Entering into relationships, working on them or seeing them fail is part of everyday life.
Often, supposedly good relationships break down after several years, even decades.
Separations are imminent, a new beginning is in sight, but how can this succeed?
These books can help after a breakup.
Perry's definition of good advice is hearing or reading something that you feel like you've always known but haven't been able to put into words until now.
A book filled with just such advice!

The connection between the two is what counts.
The right relationship can only be achieved through devotion.
However, this must come from both sides at the same time.
