Overview

You can be positive--no matter who tries to bring you down.

Unfortunately, the world is full of screwed-up people. But the good news, says Elizabeth B. Brown, is that your world no longer has to revolve around them. With brilliant insights and a keen sense of humor, this trusted author shows you how to:
take back the power from the difficult people in your life
respond productively when confronted
remain poised and in control when everyone around you loses it
win fairly in unfair battles
let go of the past and live triumphantly now

Dozens of real-life success stories, brief diagnostic tests, and practical tools are included to help you assess your own unique situation and gain the confidence to live successfully with screwed-up people.

You can stop being the victim of others and start loving life in spite of them.
