Regardless of your economic background, the "hidden rules" of your class
follow you everywhere, and keep you separated from the other classes. You've
probably noticed that when people of different classes do come together, stress
and misunderstanding are common. In close personal relationships, the challenges
can become unbearable. Maybe your husband, or your future daughter-in-law, grew
up on the other side of the tracks in poverty or in wealth, while you grew up
middle class. Do you see eye-to-eye on such issues as personal finances, educating
children, social activities, or living with in-laws? Wouldn't it help to be able
to see the world from each other's point of view?
Crossing the Tracks™ for Love reveals the secrets behind class differences,
and provides tips, stories, and resources to help you reduce conflict, improve
communication, and resolve class issues in every aspect of your life.
This powerful book exposes the mindsets and attitudes that trigger conflict
between people of different economic classes, and provides solutions you can
use immediately to improve your relationships, smooth your own transition between
classes, increase opportunities for someone you care about, and move confidently
in any social setting.
The Crossing the Tracks™ series addresses the challenges faced by people
who cross socioeconomic lines in a variety of settings-at work, in schools,
human and social services, and organizations. Carefully researched and packed
with charts and illustrations, these highly accessible books include stories,
humor, and short quizzes to help you understand and better relate to each
economic class.
