Summary: A West Coast Perspective on I Thought I Was The Crazy One
Review: This is a book that gives some truly helpful ideas about how to handle those terribly socialized personalities who use and abuse us. Parts 2 and 3 of the book provide the tools to understand what we are dealing with and why many toxic personalities are the way they are. We also learn that sometimes it is better to move on than spin our wheels trying to fix someone else's personality. Althought we may be tempted to invest our life in someone else because they are charming, cute, or pathetic, the cost is often too high. Reading this book will prevent you from getting beaten down or ending up in the looney bin because you were tying to be the nice guy or gal.

Summary: Wonderfully Insightful
Review: This is a wonderful book filled with excellent advice. It's easy to read and has a warm and charming tone. The author's sense of humor and light touch make this book accessible to everyone. I wish I had read it when I was younger. I could have at least had the comfort of knowing that I was not the crazy one. I give this book thumbs up.
