Best Book on this Topic

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have read LOTS of books on this subject and, frankly, didn't expect much from such a short book, but it has the MOST relevant and comprehensive description and plan of action for women involved with extremely difficult men. I assumed that I would find her other title, _Self-Centered and Narcissistic Men_, but this was the one that shed NEW LIGHT on a situation I have been tirelessly researching for several years.

Any additional comments?

I tried these titles because they were inexpensive, but I didn't expect much. I was VERY pleasantly surprised & intend to buy others.

I can see clearly now

Wow! This book has not only confirmed my fears, it has helped me begin to get past them. I only wish I had read this 20 years ago.

Love this book

This is the second book that I have listened to. Lyn Kelley is straight forward, she brings up good topics and it amazes me as to how correct she is.
Can't wait to start another book from Lyn Kelley.

interesting

this book opened my eyes about the men that I choose to be with in a relationship, now I know why I choose them and how to have a stronger, healthier, and better relationship with them. thank you Lyn Kelley

Any additional comments?

I have spent a lot of time looking for a resource that would help me understand what the heck was going on in my relationship. The most frustrating thing was knowing something was wrong but not being able to articulate it because the behavior I was dealing with was so covert. This book validates my experience and helps me understand what I have been dealing with. It also helped me to see some of my own flaws (which I know I have but I did not realize how certain flaws contribute this issue). I am not finished with the book but I am so grateful for what I have heard so far that I just had to share this in case it may help someone else who is involved with a manipulative person. Read this, it will help you get perspective on what's really going on.

Insightful plus Solutions

I had a surprising negative experience with an ex that re-opened old wounds. In the throws of shock & disbelief that the reason for our divorce 10+ years ago had actually happened again, I was attracted to this title. I listened to it as much as possible during the next week & found relief. I got an overview of my situation & healthy options. This book helped me bounce back quicker & communicate more clearly with connected children & extended family members.
