The Highly Sensitive Person's Guide to Dealing with Toxic People: How to Reclaim Your Power from Narcissists and Other Manipulators Paperback – October 1, 2020

The book describes with great accuracy what it is like to be a sensitive person who happens to know too many narcissists. It helped me see that it wasn't my imagination, people really were being awful to me. They're also a few ideas about how to cope with a narcissist in your life.

I am very pleased that I purchased this book, it is definitely a good read! I was actually upset when it ended

While I am an avid reader, I am not normally found reading the "self-help-book" category. However, this book CHANGED my mindset on working with those around me. I decided to pick up this book after have a couple of hard months with a colleague. The book helped me to better understand what was happening and gave me tools to use when incidents happened in the future. It helped me to feel more confident and get a raise at work. I've now even recommended that my colleagues and employees pick it up and they have found it helpful as well. If you're looking for a book to help you better understand yourself and those around you, this is the book i'd recommend you pick up. Thank me later! ;)

There's a lot to be learned about narcissism, gaslighting, and scapegoating and this book is helpful

Everything I've read by this author has been very helpful and informative and is written in an engaging way that is not overly clinical. This information is helpful even for non-HSPs. I seriously wonder why we aren't providing classes that provide this kind of basic living life information to students. Had I been given some basic objective guidelines some 40+ years ago I can't help but think I might have made better choices in the people I surrounded myself with as well as been a better friend, myself. Fast forward those 40+ years and I'm recovering from choices I made unwittingly or not and working to live the rest of my life in a healthier way. Sadly what can be described now as a mental disorder can and probably will be described as a culture or a generational descriptor, but then again mental disorder diagnoses come and go for better or for worse. What remains is the effects our decisions and awareness have on our lives now and in the future. I highly suggest this book as well as the other books written by this author regarding toxic people and behaviors. I wish you your best life!

This was a great read. I am glad to have this in my personal library

Amazing tools, scientific explanations connecting body reactions, impulse, thought process-and all done in a way that most people might find it relatable enough to understand the concept and what it means-and why learning more about this trait snd how it can help society, while also recognizing the need to maintain a healthy work/life balance. Highly recommends to HSPs who struggle in any aspects in life. Providing logic, tips and tricks to retrain your central nervous systems, and also noting specific instruction on how to keep expanding on skills and abilities which allow you to have more control in certain situations. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys to learn more about themselves and more about the world.

I got this book because a family member was giving me the silent treatment for 8 months and then started calling me fake to the rest of my family behind my back. I had no idea what I did that was so terrible. I reached out many times to try to apologize for whatever I did but all I can remember doing is disagreeing with her and then all this drama started.I never knew my aunt-in-law who I loved so much was a narcissist. She loved bombed me, but also accused me of terrible things during our whole relationship. And only loved me so long as I did everything she wanted me to do. We couldn’t have a respectful disagreement.As I kept I reading I saw many red flags I didn’t see before. It even opened up my eyes to how my own father was a narcissist. It’s no surprise that my relationship with my father and with my aunt are the only two relationships that caused me the most stress in my life. And now I know why, and the book even talks about how to handle it and heal from it.I’m very grateful for this book. Or else I might have kept going crazy feeling upset, mad, confused and sad. A crazy rollercoaster of emotions wondering if I could fix this. Now I feel so much more at peace and like I could move on with my life in a healthy way. Thank you 🙏
