People Can't Drive You Crazy If You Don't Give Them the Keys Paperback – October 1, 2012

Wake up call!!! Relationships require work and remembering -the only one I can control is me. Good instruction. Learned a good methodology in living with the crazies in my life….and the not so crazies!!!

Awesome and very practical in dealing with the most important thing in our life. The author is very knowledgeable and clear explaining the process of having good relationships.

This was a helpful book but quite repetitive. If you are a fast reader, you don't mind the repetition too much. It does help to emphasize and to remember. Basically what the author is saying is that you can't change other people but you can change yourself and your reactions to others. It is harder if you live with a "crazy person" day after day though. We have to be careful we are not the "crazy person" in the relationship. I think we are all "crazy" in one way or another! It's so easy to point the finger. The information is common sense put in a new way perhaps. I found it easy to read and somewhat entertaining. I would recommend it to others, esp. if someone is at his wit's end in a relationship. I have someone on the fringe of my life who has been bothering me mentally and I found some helpful ideas to help me deal with the situation. Life is never perfect though!

A great book on looking at things from a different perspective. Practical advice to follow. An action plan to walk away with.Extremely informative.

Haven't read all of it yet, but definitely a good choice from what I've read so far.

Self help books all have in common that they tell you what you already expect to hear. This book does that well enough. But if you truly have anger management issues, as I do, it wont' substitute for professional counseling. At least that's my experience. Self help books are formulaic in that they address topics in ways that serve masses but obviously can not address your peculiarities. That's where professional counseling comes in. So don't use this book to procrastinate on doing for yourself the favor of getting personal help to guide you on your self-finding quest.

The book is very well written and easy to read; the author shares his personal insights and experiences on how to deal with crazy and difficult people wheter they are a family member, spouse, relatives, co workers, friends etc.He provides the reader with tools to understand what is happening, take some distance and shift their perspective on the painful relationships. He offers a serie of tools that allow the reader to gain joy, integrity, knowledge illustrated by various examples so that it is easier to apply the tips.The book is non judgemental and very empathetic to all people concerned.I came to the book while struggling and suffering from a comunication breaking habit from my partner and I read it through applying immediately the advices and using the tools. Even if the change is not obvious in the relationship I do however feel better as I have been able to change my response to that relationship and to two more that were causing me a lot of stress.Long term change takes of course more dedication and work but those first steps are very positive and effective on my weel being.Anyone having in their lives some crazy or difficult people, buy this book and you will find solutions to help you deal with them and start feeling better asap.

This is a very good book filled with solid advice and perspectives on how to live so you don't become affected by other people's drama. This book is also filled with religious references and can come off as very preachy. Every chapter seemingly references how a relationship with God will help you. If you can get past the psalms and references to God, it's actually a solid read.
