20 min on chap 2
Gives a couple case studies on how someone can make you feel and why.
Few possibilities of how they became to be toxic
Also talks about how sometimes removing their joy from the situation causes them to move on to another victim.
No definite strategy or explanations , as that would be impossible in such a short book/chapter but more of a this has worked. Stay encouraged & stand up

Ch 3 28 minutes of sky view strategy’s to get you thinking in the right direction.
While reading I tabbed many pages in this chapter to come back and reference.
There is also some good hard truths on plausible why this keeps happening.

Ch 2 list 14 toxic people.
I forgot to time reading this chapter .
This chapter is neat to read as if your someone like me who has overcome and are scared you may have other bad traits this helps brings things to light.
I plan to reread this chapter at later time and self reflect more as we are all growing and have blind spots. And the author does a good job of giving descriptive yet short definitions and stories

5 minutes in and it is off to good start , not only does it give some crazy statistics like 84% women and 75% have had a toxic friend ( not coworker or family just friend) and instantly your minds like yeah I can believe that.
I also appreciate how it tells you when the term gaslight got coined you may be surprised how long ago it was.
I feel it’s going to have mix of humor, data, and strategy to improve.Lets see
