This book is insightful and will guide you toward resolution of difficult people in your life and the games they play with you, for their benefit. Life is challenging enough without having to sidestep people who are neurotics with agendas that destroy rather than build you up. I liked the conversational style the psychologist Dr. David Hawkins uses at the beginning of the book to ease his way into the "gold" -- the issues and tissues stuff. He writes frankly, from years of psychotherapy experience as well as experiences freely shared from his own life confrontations. At first I thought "I" was at fault. Now I realize in many instances I was merely a sounding board for difficult people, crazy making people, to fixate on my kind nature and listening ear. It's refreshing to know that I can now manage to deactivate interpersonal games quickly and without "trauma drama." If you are tired of being a victim of the infantile narcissist, grab an herbal and this book. You are in for quite a journey toward mental health...with or without Toto at your side.

Great book identifying the personality types that will drive any rational person crazy. I should have learned this stuff in college or earlier in life. Savvy people know this stuff, but I had to read this book to get a handle on the subject. The book does rely on a Christian thematic at times. It did not bother me, as actually the crazy ones need lots of help, and it can only come from God; and the only way you can heal is by forgiveness. And for humans that is very hard to do after having dealt with a crazy maker. This book was so useful I have passed it on to others. This book opened up my shut eyes.

For years I have struggled to know how to deal with people who constantly drive me crazy with their behavior. This book identifies those people into basic types, clearly spells out their behavior and offers up ways to deal with them effectively. I must admit that I need to go back and read the book again to digest all of these things so I can put into use the strategies the author poses, because my first read was so engrossing that I got through it too fast to really remember everything it spells out. My family has been the primary crazy makers in my life, so this book is going to be my survival guide in learning how to set boundaries, take back my life, and be in control instead of allowing the crazy makers to keep me constantly off balance. Written in easy to understand language and also from a Christian perspective, I found this book very insightful and thought provoking. The author also helps the reader to understand ineffective ways of responding to those who drive us crazy and offers up effective new ways to deal with these situations that gives back the sanity and sense of balance we need in our lives.

Dr Hawkins is genuine, honest, full of respect and a wise, seasoned tool of God to help us through this junk! Helped me tremendously and I am super grateful for him, and for this excellent work! Its easy to read too! A must read if you think you've got a crazy maker in your life. And if you're honest with yourself, you'll learn what some of your junk is, and how to "deal with it"! I did. :). Thanks Dr. Hawkins!

When dealing with those folks in my life that seem to live to make me miserable and cause problems, it makes clear the problem(s) really belong to those troublemakers. This book gives clear and concise ways to handle almost any situation that those crazymakers throw at me without giving MY power away by dealing out the wrong responses and/or retaliation based on my own fickle feelings. It was an eyeopener into what makes these folks tick and made me have sympathy and understanding for these folks in my life as they are the ones that are truly suffering....not those of us that they make crazy! Empowering reading!

Ok so Pros of this book: To me this book mainly spent alot of time explaining how to spot different types of crazy makers,how they do it however 9 chapeters later it is helpful in giving advice on how to deal with them. One thing I kept to heart is that "boundaries have edges" Which basically means that if you tell someone No or whatnot you are not wrong even if it hurts someones feelings because you must have boundaries. This has always been a issue for me allowing the crazymakers to run me over as I was worried what they would think of me, hurting feeling and etc..So it did what it told you it would do. Cons: There is alot of religious reference in the book, I would have avoided buying if I had realized before hand. I have read ALOT of self help type books and this book had ALOT of other book references. It almost seemed that every other page the auther was referencing what another author said it another book. Several times I wondered if I should be reading a their book instead of this one.r

I read this book when it first came out and it really changed my entire life. I have used these lessons many times over the course of my professional career and was able to save my sanity. I recently bought this again for someone else who has been trying to talk sane to crazy and wondering why it isn't working. He just started reading it and said he was hooked. From the get go, it blew his mind the way it was describing what he was going through. He didn't even get to the really good parts yet. I am so thankful this book was written.
