I have the 1975 Warner Books edition, and I don't know if it's been changed since then.

I read the book because I really needed the help dealing with people in my life making drastic changes that affected my life.

The book helped alot. It gave me perspective on where other people are coming from when they say certain things and behave in certain ways. It helped me understand myself as well.

Best of all, the authors treated most of the subject matter with humor. I like reading in bed 30 minutes before trying to fall asleep, and this book made me laugh out loud almost every night before I finally finished it. I laughed at myself, my husband, my kids, and everbody else, so I went to bed happy!

I recommend this book if you are having any kind of difficulty with the people in your life.

One of the best books I've ever read. So informative, and not dry. I loved this book and learned a lot. Highly recommend.
