Insightful and Real

Have you ever wondered about someone you know very well . . . someone who bugs the crud out of you, gets under your skin repeatedly, or just boggles your mind with their mind games? Someone who makes you feel guilty or unworthy? Someone who scares you a little . . . or a lot? Well, in this book, Joe (a retired FBI special agent) leads us through four of the most dangerous of the kinds of people who set those alarm bells off in your head. Turns out there's a reason, and you were right to feel the way you do. With a handy checklist at the end of each chapter, you can eliminate the fluff and get right to the crux of the matter. Yep, that coworker is paranoid. Transfer to another department or get another job. Or maybe Nana is just annoying but not so dangerous. To save your relationship, check out after eating your pumpkin pie and pass on the long evening of unpleasant lecturing. His breakdowns are concise yet clear. While you won't be finding Steinbeckian writing here, I don't think that's his goal. His delivery is pointed and effective and wastes no time on flowery talk. If you have some doubts about someone, I highly recommend it, and in fact, am passing it on to a friend today.
