People Can't Drive You Crazy If You Don't Give Them the Keys Description
You don't have to be controlled by difficult people! Strange as it may seem, other people are not nearly as committed to our happiness as we are. In fact, sometimes it seems like they're on a mission to make us miserable! There's always that one person. The one who hijacks our emotions. The one who seems to thrive on drama. If we could just "fix" that person, everything would be better. But we can't fix other people. We can only make choices about ourselves. In this cut-to-the-chase audio book, communication expert Mike Bechtle shows you how to stop being a victim of other people's craziness. With commonsense wisdom and proactive advice that you can put into practice immediately, Bechtle gives you a proven strategy to handle crazy people - and stay sane while doing it. There will always be difficult people. But this fresh perspective on dealing with them can change your life - starting today!

Dr. Bechtle speaks to us where we all live: somewhere between someone who HAS driven us crazy, someone who IS driving us crazy, or someone who WILL drive us crazy. This book helped me understand their role and my role, what I can do, and what I can't. It is easy to read because it is at once personal, engaging, and applicable yet deep in processes, steps, and reality based solutions. A must read! His best of several great books.

I was intrigued by the title of this book alone. I'm typically a people pleaser and find that those people who are a bit type A really stress me out. I take it personally if people get mad at me, whether they've had a bad day or not. I try to avoid difficult people when given the opportunity but sometimes God puts me smack dab in the middle of them.
I liked how he talked about Mood Mastery and how to focus on the things that you can change and not necessarily the things that you can't change. Another piece of wisdom that I needed to hear was about temperament and how we need to understand the other person's temperament and accept it. It's not that we are saying that their behavior is right or acceptable, but we are saying that we understand their behavior is a part of them in some way.
The fact that some people like being negative is not a new insight, but it was very encouraging to know that I'm not the only one who encounters people who are so negative. That whole section offered encouragement and lifted my spirits a bit as I learned a little about how to react to their negativity.
This book is a great book for absolutely anyone who is around another human being that they find is difficult to love or work with, which I think would sum up to be everyone.

I received this book free from Revell Publishers in exchange for my honest opinion.
