We all have them in our lives somewhere. They are pushy, forceful, impatient, always in a hurry and ready to tell you how you are doing it wrong and how to do it better. They try our patience and grate on our nerves. We find ourselves tensing up and dreading the ir company. So what do you do?
This book can really help on how to cope and deal with folks like this. And better yet it shows you how to change whether they do or not.
Some of the things covered are:
How to know hen control is good or bad
How to recognize the top 10 qualities of a control freak
How to cope with a coercive colleague or supervising spouse
How to relinguish unhealthy control
How to repair relationships damaged by over control
And how to check yourself for these tendancies.
I highly reccommend this book. It helps you see "why" they are they wat they are. I liked the humor in the book but most of all because it doesn't just bash and banish the controlling person but directs you in trying to save the relationship. Very good!
