Synopsis

You don't have to be controlled by difficult people! Strange as it may seem, other people are not nearly as committed to our happiness as we are. In fact, sometimes it seems like they’re on a mission to make us miserable! There’s always that one person. The one who hijacks our emotions. The one who seems to thrive on drama. If we could just “fix” that person, everything would be better. But we can’t fix other people. We can only make choices about ourselves. In this cut-to-the-chase audio book, communication expert Mike Bechtle shows you how to stop being a victim of other people’s craziness. With commonsense wisdom and proactive advice that you can put into practice immediately, Bechtle gives you a proven strategy to handle crazy people — and stay sane while doing it. There will always be difficult people. But this fresh perspective on dealing with them can change your life — starting today!

Pretty easy read. There was a lot of good stuff, but I wasn’t a fan of referring to people as crazy and I feel there were missed opportunities to tell people to get a therapist or counselor. When I finally thought that was happening, it turned into talking about the Bible 🙄......more
