Very short and superficial

This book was very short and very superficial. I don’t remember how much I paid for this book, but if it was more than three dollars, I paid too much. The content of the book is ok, but it simply isn’t realistic to count to 10 both forwards and backwards before you respond to someone’s negative comment. You will give that person and everyone around you the impression that you are struck dumb in anger, And sometimes the most effective approach is to not appear angry at all.

Mike's work is quite noteworthy.

When we are exposed to difficult people, use exercise as a way to de-stress! The author said it right in a simple technique! The parts that really stuck in my mind are the ones that advises us not to fall into the negative traps of people who belittle you.

Nothing I already didn't know

Nothing I already didn't know about. But I'm in psych and in Healthcare. However, would recommend this to those who want to learn about the reasons people are jerks and how to appropriately respond to them instead of just reacting.

One of the most honest books!

Humans complicate everything, capable of so much good and so much evil at the same time. I found this book so brutally honest that at times I wanted to stop listening and return it. But in the end, I kinda like it.

goody

I read a lot of self-help books and find most of them silly, formulaic, and/or unrealistic. This is perhaps the best self-help book I have read and was one of the first of the modern eras.

Very good and short explanation

It is a good summary of difficult people and gave me peace, however it might be good to complement it with another longer book.
