And it also has great in site on why they are so nasty. I have applied many of the suggestions, left people standing with their mouths open and walked away without getting into a word match or feeling bad about myself. And it is only about 75 pages. Get it. You will never be sorry. Learn to deal with that boss, father in law, father, husband, man that leaves you wondering what you did wrong when it was never you to begging with.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Really Good!By S. SimmonsThis is by far the very best, right to the point and fairest book on this subject I have ever read! It's is small in volume, but powerful on words. I would highly rcommend this book to someone who is honestly willing to unlearn and learn some bad habits about men and relationships. Gave me keen discernement about being used in a give and take healthy friendship/relationship w/the opposite sex, and being downright abused by the same. It's a definite keeper in my personal library!17 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Excellent!By A CustomerVery good and thought provoking analysis of abusive relationships. The author seems to have a good understanding of the fact that abuse does not require physical damage. Although he starts out with an offensive reference to the abuser who "may be hurting you big time (having and affair) or just a little (putting you down)...", later in the book he seems to get it that just "putting you down" can be the most insideous and damaging kind of abuse. I highly recommend the book for both men and women. Even though most of the references to the abuser are in the male gender, the author acknowledges that abusers ("nasty people") can be of either gender.
