Publisher's summary

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!

Logical Purpose

Mike has honed in on the logic of relationships and how I deal with them. Instead of fleeing, I feel as though I can seek the purpose and love in every relationship I have. Thanks Mike!

The heavy bible references

I liked that the book made a lot of sense and offered a healthy decision making process to us. Read it and you’ll understand. There is a lot of value in the book. I disliked the constant biblical references. Not everything needs to involve god and Jesus.

Great practice steps

I like the step by step process and questions to ask myself, about whether to stay in a relationship or not.

EXCELLENT Book on Relationships!

WOW! I think I highlighted something on almost every page of this book, it was SO GOOD! I appreciated the author’s underlying message that, since the only person we have the power to change is ourselves, we should work to change our thoughts, attitudes, & reactions to the difficult people in our lives, in the hope of improving that relationship, and to protect ourselves. READ IT!

A Must Read/Listen

I wish I had known about this book before I started my last job. For an empath like myself, this book is a good reminder that I am not responsible to manage everyone's behavior or take on their emotions.

Practical solutions for navigating toxic work environments

Beyond thrilled, I stumbled across this book! Could not have been more timely. Grounded in biblical values was the ultimate cherry on top.! Recognition that God creates us, and therefore relationships, and that the Bible is the owner’s manual for relationship management. Absolutely brilliant.
