Living Successfully with Screwed-Up People

The world is full of difficult people, and this book argues that your life does not have to be run by them. Elizabeth Brown offers practical guidance on staying in control of your own feelings when others lose theirs, responding to confrontation without being pulled into it, and breaking the hold that a painful person or habit has over you. She also covers how to fight for fair outcomes when the game is unfair, and how to let go of old hurts and unmet wishes so you can live fully in the present. Real-life stories, short self-assessment quizzes and simple tools help readers examine their own situations and make lasting changes.
