About this audiobook
DIFFICULT DOESN'T MEAN IMPOSSIBLE
We've all encountered them: the bullies, the wet blankets, the yea-sayers that never come through. More often than not, we're left fumbling for words, stumbling toward the door...frustrated, enraged or just plain depressed.
Dr. Robert M. Bramson, a psychologist and management consultant, will show you that it is possible to remain sane, dignified and optimistic when dealing with even the most Difficult People. With these lively, insightful dramatizations, you'll learn how to:
* Identify difficult types, from the too-good-to-be-true to the too-hot-to-handle, from the perennial gossip to the eternal clam. * Master the step-by-step procedures that will neutralize any negative or hostile encounter. * Understand your own style of thinking and how it affects your ability to deal effectively with each type.
Maybe you can't turn "Gloomy Gus" into "Pollyanna"...but with the help of Dr. Bramson, you'll prevent the difficult from becoming impossible -- and end "relation frustrations" for good!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I can say only that this book worked a like charm when I used it during a tense family situation several years ago. I studied it on the plane, used what I learned as soon as I met the ogre, and pretty much had her eating out of my hand during the following weeks.I wish I had known about it long, long ago. In fact, maybe I should re-read it to help my current family life run more smoothly.

. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5very very very very very very very very very very good
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Ever since the 'animal plague', the world's population has been crowded in the northern third of the Earth, with the Wall separating them from the dangers of the south. For a while, all were equal, but then the rich decided to build a second layer above the cities, which made the already cramped and uncomfortable lower level even worse, dark, disgusting, and unhealthy. But when people find out the Secret, everything will change.I love both fantasy and science fiction, but they don't always blend well, and this is another book that I think would have been better if it had been straight science fiction instead of a mix. The writing was very good and the plot, while not new, was generally well done. But once it left science fiction and veered into fantasy, it became a lot less interesting.
