Unfortunately, the world is full of screwed-up people. But the good news, says Elizabeth Brown, is that your world no longer has to revolve around them. With brilliant insights and a keen sense of humour, this trusted author and sought-after speaker shows readers how to: stop the power of whatever is eating them alive; productively respond when confronted; remain poised and in control when everyone around them loses it; win fairly in unfair battles; and let go of what has been, or what they wish would be, and live triumphantly now. Dozens of real-life success stories, brief diagnostic tests, and practical tools are included to help readers assess their own situations and gain confidence to change self-defeating behaviours. This popular word-of-mouth bestseller now has an updated look.
