Recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to sit down and have a conversation with Dr. Ray Guarendi, clincial psychologist, author, professional speaker and a national radio and television host.
You can find Dr Ray’s show on SiriusXM and on more than 500 stations as well as on EWTN. He has given more than 3,000 talks on various topics of parenting, marriage, family and the Catholic faith using compelling humor, practical advice and proven techniques.
In this conversation, Dr Ray and I spoke about the content contained in his latest book, How To Get Along With Almost Everybody, and the result was a conversation with lots of humor, but also a TON of resolutions to help you share your personality in Christ as you strive to get along with others.
I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I did having it, and also that it results in much fruit in your relationships with those you love, but even more so with those you find difficult.
In this episode of the Say Yes to Holiness podcast, host Christina Semmons welcomes Dr. Ray Guarendi to discuss his latest book and explore themes of personal growth, relationships, and faith. The conversation delves into the challenges of dealing with difficult people, the importance of self-reflection, and the role of faith in personal development.
