About this ebook
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 humor, 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
• 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 behaviors. This popular word-of-mouth bestseller now has an updated look.

The author writes with clarity to people who are in a state of confusion about what to do next. Her sensible, compassionate advice is a welcome helping hand up out of a dark place. The book explores ways to create positive change, but recognizes the necessity to preserve one's own sanity.
In particular, Chapter 4, 'Get Off the Fence' was very powerful. Thanks very much Elizabeth.

This book has helped me see the sup in my life from a different angle so I can better understand that she is who she is and that nothing I can do or say will change her. I need to stop stressing about our relationship and how it affects me and move on
