Book Reviews of Thank You for Being Such a Pain: Spiritual Guidance for Dealing with Difficult People

Book Review: Excellent, easy read! Opens your world to a new way of thinking.
Summary: 5 Stars

One of the best 'self-help' books! The title itself gets your attention. It leads you to look at your thoughts, rather than the events/dramas of your life. It helps you to learn that you are the one that chooses how you feel about an event and you if don't like it, you are also the one who can change it. Very empowering!
Well worth having a copy at home. I've found that I can't keep it on my shelf, as I end up giving it away and have to buy another one.

Summary of Thank You for Being Such a Pain: Spiritual Guidance for Dealing with Difficult People

With wisdom and humor, Thank You for Being Such a Pain offers gentle and compassionate guidance for understanding and healing relationships with difficult people. By embracing four fundamental premises and putting into practice the author's many helpful and practical suggestions, you'll acquire the skills and insights necessary for turning around even the most troublesome relationship. What you need to keep in mind is that: (1) nothing in your life happens randomly and your difficulties have a deeper purpose; (2) frustration and even emotional pain are as necessary for your personal and spiritual growth as love and joy; (3) transforming enmity and completing unfinished business may be the most important skills you can learn in life; and (4) when you make an effort to work on your inner self, your outer relationships will be transformed.
