Why is no one talking about this book?!
I am so glad I looked into Rock the Boat, Menakem’s lesser-known but equally incredible book about how to use conflict to deepen relationships. I want to gift this to everyone in my life (and the world) and wish I could have read this as a teenager.
What do I love about this book? It has a very “call it as I see it” tone and it normalizes relationship challenges in a way that is refreshing given how weirdly taboo the topic is. It also frames the conflict cycle in a way that's new to me yet speaks so much to my lived experience. The framework and language is super helpful for navigating, processing, and communicating around conflict and there is a lot of emphasis on accountability and integrity.
Without hesitation, I recommend this book to everyone.

Self help, republished as “Monsters in Love”. What if relationships are fundamentallly about growth? That would guarantee regular conflict as growth forces renegotiations. Maybe if done with integrity that could be good
