Over the course of two years, David transforms himself from the worlds most trying husband to the husband who tries the hardest. He becomes the husband hed always meant to be. Filled with humor and surprising wisdom, The Journal of Best Practices is a candid story of ruthless self-improvement, a unique window into living with an autism spectrum condition, and proof that a true heart can conquer all.
