LAWRENCEVILLE -- Daily Post columnist Lisa Earle McLeod is ringing in 2010 with the release of her latest book.

She says it's life-changing.

"Writing it and researching ("The Triangle of Truth") and trying to unravel why we make each other crazy was certainly life-changing for me," McLeod said, "and I have been told from people who have read it who adopted the model that it was life-changing for them."

The author of "Forget Perfect" and "Finding Grace When You Can't Even Find Clean Underwear" has outlined a seven-principle model for conflict resolution in "The Triangle of Truth," which was released Tuesday.

"It basically changes the way you approach people and the way you approach circumstances," she said. "It will help you get along with your judgmental in-laws, your crazy co-workers and your nosy neighbors."

Gwinnett residents can join McLeod in celebrating the release with a public launch party at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Gwinnett. McLeod will give a brief presentation and sign copies of "The Triangle of Truth," which will be available for purchase. For more information on the publication, visit www.triangleoftruth.com.

McLeod's column runs on Saturdays in the Daily Post.
