Easy to Read, helps you categorize toxic ones in your life
I found this book helpful. I never realized how many different kinds of toxic people there are and how even I can be toxic in several categories. This book has helped me learn how to confront difficult people in my life, and when the situation calls for it, unplug completely as no one is worth losing my self image over.Dr. Glass uses real life stories from patients to encourage readers that there is hope to recover from the effects toxic people have on us. It's easy to read and see people you know in each of her descriptions of the toxic individuals. Now I am seeing how I too can be toxic and am working towards eliminating patterns that keep me around negative people.

A neat tool for survival!
I bought this book sometime ago, I've read it several times, and boy does Lillian Glass provide the reader with a ton of useful information on how to deal with all the difficult monsters who try to transform you life into a nightmare. Lillian Glass plots each toxic type of personality in chronological order, and then goes on to explain how to deal with these people in an effective way that leaves you with your sanity. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to improve their relationships, both personal and professional. Remeber, the people round you do affect the quality of your life and this book is an effective tool to help you rid yourself of all the monsters who want to turn it into a nightmare!

Not a Helpful Book!
I found this book over the top and unsettling. The author has dumped more friends than most of us will ever have. I believe there are definitely toxic people in our lives, but this book reccomends saying extremely nasty,hateful things to these people and dumping them forever. I read this book hoping for coping mechanisms and understanding, but got more of a How- to- out-toxic-your-toxic-friends manual. Similar Products
