Happy Family

Transform Your Time Together in 15 Minutes a Day

Happy Family is a simple and thought-provoking gift book for you and your family. It will show you the huge gains you can make if you spend 15 minutes per day having fun and sharing meaningful conversations with the people that you love the most, even if they sometimes get on your nerves. The creative, quirky and inspiring questions in this book get family members talking, laughing, and sharing details about their inner and outer lives so they can understand one another better, cultivate patience and empathy, and deepen IRL connection in an age of ubiquitous smartphones.

Whether readers find themselves disconnected on long car rides, regularly eating in silence around a dining room table, or at a loss for words during family gatherings, birthday parties or at holiday events, the 250 questions and activities in this book are unique and thought-provoking enough to get the extroverts listening and the introverts talking.

Even for close, expressive families, this book will offer new angles and ideas on familiar themes, providing tools to help readers create a culture of curiosity and communication around topics that matter most to families, highlighting the shared history, unique roles, and evolving developmental stages of different family members, from thoughtful toddlers to reluctant teenagers and elderly relatives.

Praise for Stop Overthinking Your Relationship

Alicia Muñoz is a true artist—in how she sees the nuances of relationships and in how she helps readers address its complexities in simple yet effective ways. It doesn’t hurt that she draws us in with writing that’s at once compassionate, direct, and utterly engaging.
Livia Kent
Editor in Chief of Psychotherapy Networker Magazine
If you ever feel like you are drowning in the negative cycles of your own thoughts, this is the book for you. Alicia provides a detailed description of this debilitating phenomenon and an equally detailed description of the process of moving from rumination to engagement and connection. We recommend a careful reading and practice of the liberating processes.
Harville Hendrix, Ph. D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph. D.
co-authors of "Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples"
Relationship rumination is an unrecognized issue and a major problem in couples therapy and this book gives a clear map to see a way through. Alicia Munoz's SLOW process is easy to follow and makes intimacy an adventure. Everyone contemplating a relationship should read this book and every therapist trying to help couples out of conflict and into a loving connection needs to know these exercises.
Tammy Nelson, PhD
TEDx speaker and author of "Open Monogamy; A Guide to Co-Creating Your Ideal Relationship Agreement"
This tender, insightful, and well-written book will help you recognize and break the habit of overthinking—“the cheapest and most accessible mind-altering substance” there is. Alicia's profound practice of SLOW (seeing, labeling, opening, and welcoming) is a concrete tool to help couples reduce their anxiety by helping them understand their internal experiences rather than defending against them. This practice will transform your relationships and your own wellbeing.
Jillian Pransky
author of "Deep Listening: A Healing Practice To Calm Your Body, Clear Your Mind, and Open Your Heart"
It’s so hard to accept that our thoughts about our partner are often neither true nor helpful. Blending research, practical advice, and case studies, Alicia Muñoz shows how you can deal with these blaming, worrying, doubting, controlling or self-pitying ruminations. She offers readers practical, inspiring guidance through the SLOW technique and other tools to enable them to reap the benefits of connection, healthy, boundaries and safety in love.
