Crazymakers

by Paul D. Meier, Robert L. Wise

Living with insensitive, tactless, careless, inattentive, difficult, self-absorbed, neglectful, damaging, condemning, harsh, hard, treacherous, deceiving, prejudiced, and paralyzing people…can make you crazy!

Chances are, there's at least one person like that in your life right now-a person who is always right. Behavior ranges from indifference and unconcern to complete narcissism and destruction.

Dr. Paul Meier and Dr. Robert Wise created this important text to assist you in recognizing this behavior and dealing with it. Their most important message: It's not you! It's them! The doctors' insight will help you understand how narcissistic people think and how they affect those around them. Finally, they offer Seven Steps to help you walk out of a crisis with someone like this.

Creepy, Sneaky Xian Author

Neither the title nor the subtitle indicates in any way that this book is from a Xian perspective. It's not until the end of chapter one that the author sneaks it in. Not only are crazymakers a menace, but so are arrogant and hypocritical, goddess-rejecting monotheists. This sneakiness is deceitful and unethical.

And because Amazon.com is run by fundamentalist Xians, they refused to post my review. They suck.

Great book

[Courtney · Rating 2 out of 5]

I am not a fan of specific religious overtones in self-help books. I don't believe one has to subscribe to a particular religion or religious belief to be able to accept help. I will keep this book as reference because it has a fantastic quiz for spotting the difference between difficult people and narcissists.
