Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at the age of eight, Camilla Pang struggled to understand the world around her and the way people worked. Desperate for a solution, Camilla asked her mother if there was an instruction manual for humans that she could consult. But, without the blueprint to life she was hoping for, Camilla began to create her own. Now armed with a PhD in biochemistry, Camilla dismantles our obscure social customs and identifies what it really means to be human using her unique expertise and a language she knows best: science. Through a set of scientific principles, this book examines life's everyday interactions including: decisions and the route we take to make them; conflict and how we can avoid it; relationships and how we establish them; etiquette and how we conform to it.

The couple relationship can offer the most wonderful and enriching bond for two individuals. Research has shown that people who are part of a couple live longer, the support of the relationship acting as a buffer against many of the pressures and demands that life throws up. However, whilst being in a relationship can be a tremendous boon, it can also be the root of disharmony between the partners or in the individual themselves. Tony Humphreys believes that in order to have a contented and fulfilling relationship, each partner must first look honestly at themselves, learn to love themselves and from that, love and respond to their partner. Myself, My Partner, explores the whole area of self, of choosing a partner and the issue of togetherness. It provides guidance and groundwork for personal healing, growth, development and resolving conflict within relationships.
