Great Book!
Dealing with a toxic coworker was draining me both emotionally and mentally. I didn’t want to stoop to their level, but being “nice” just wasn’t cutting it. This audiobook gave me exactly what I needed: real strategies that actually work. I learned how to set boundaries without feeling guilty, and the tips on staying calm during manipulative conversations were a lifesaver. I especially appreciated the breakdown of different types of conflict and how to approach each one. I’ve started applying some of the techniques at work, and honestly, I already feel more in control and less reactive. If you’ve ever felt walked on or exhausted by someone in your life, this is 100% worth the listen.

Finding My Voice
I've had to deal with people who made me feel small. It felt like I was always walking on eggshells. This book promised to teach me how to handle these situations. It said I could learn to protect myself. I wanted to learn how to feel strong.
This master-piece, which likely focuses on identifying narcissistic and manipulative behaviors, made me think about past experiences. I remembered a time someone blamed me for their mistakes. I now try to recognize these patterns. I pay closer attention to how people talk and act. I want to set boundaries. I am now trying to use the ideas in this book to protect myself. I want to feel more confident in difficult situations. This book gives practical tools.
