It will leave you self-reflecting on what kind of vampire you are? It's true that this book will set you free. It's liberating to know that somehow you are a difficult person too. You can't really point a finger to someone else unless you recognize and remove your own blind spot. This book just helped me recognized my own faults.

Pretty fascinating stuff set out in layman's terms. Incredibly easy to read and thought provoking. I also enjoyed the vampire guide in the book. Eye opening in many scenarios.

"You cant control people's faults. But you can control your response to those faults."

A book I wish I had back then. It has helped me a lot. Not only does it tackle dealing with difficult people but it will change you, the reader, not the other way around. This I will read over and over again.

Thought-provoking lessons that are communicated in layman's terms. Before looking outward, we must first acknowledge that we ourselves are partial personal vampires. To some people, I am unknowingly that difficult person. Change begins within ourselves before we can protect ourselves from other vampires.

I knew this stuff already like energy vampires that drains the hell out of you but as I read further this book, I cam to God and reflect and I did pray to forgive my sin but rather protect me from people who is difficult to me. I learned that perhaps that I, as well is one of that difficult people because I allow them to drain me. I am grateful to Bo Sanchez. He once again connects me from God.

The way it compares difficult people with vampires is absolutely stunning. One psychological way to call difficult people is Narcissistic Personality Disorder. These people develop a dysfunctional way to connect with the outside world. They feel doping (sucking narcissistic supply from victims) when abusing others.

I read the book, hoping it would help me understand the difficult people around me. Instead, it helped me understand how people understand me as a difficult person. It's helped me better appreciate the people around me.

It gave me insights, deep insights that I had to realize that maybe I am also the difficult person, but most importantly, this book gave me an insight on how to deal with difficult people in your life and you don’t have to sacrifice yourself for the sake of others, you can let go, for your peace.

If the publisher used a smaller font, the number of pages can be reduced to 50. Another potboiler from Bo Sanchez.

Every chapter of this book would make you reflect specially in those chapters where Bro. Bo is mentioning all kinds of vampire that is possibly present around you, and in some part realizing you also have that characteristics like those you considers vampires of your life...

Here who I am as vampire according to my observation and self reflection..

I'm more of a clinging vampire ;)

How would you distinguish a difficult person in your life? Or are you that difficult person in someone's life? In this book, Bo Sanchez tackled about the eight kinds of difficult people whom he called Vampires.

It was a fast read but striking. It will make you reflect about your life. This is a helpful source on how to deal with the vampires and what should be our response to them.

Bo Sanchez said in this book that the "difficult people" were like "vampires" .
They will suck the life (your joy, your self worth) out of you.
What I love really about this book was not only that we will identify who the "vampires" are in our lives and how to deal with them, but Bo was also encouraging the readers to reflect on ourselves if we are one. :)

true indeed, this book will give you so much freedom and bring you peace. Bo opens our eyes and makes us see the truth that is difficult to see when troubled by difficult people in our lives and personal hurts and fears.

It is not a book on handling difficult people, but to know yourself more...
