Book Reviews of The Control Freak
Book Review: Whoah! Is this me?
Summary: 5 Stars
Oh, yes, this book is about me. I checked this out from the library, and it's so good that I think I'll buy a copy to keep, and one for my parents, and maybe three of my siblings...
One statement that made me stop with my jaw hanging was this one. "Let's make this clear: At the root of all controlling behavior is an attempt to tame our anxiety - not to dominate another person." SO true! Now that I know this, I can face the anxiety head-on and figure out a better solution than being controlling (which is really a lose-lose type of behavior).
And I personally LIKE the "God talk". Since when did talking about God become a bad thing? Thank GOD that our founding fathers came to this land and formed this great nation so they could have freedom of religion!
Summary of The Control Freak
They're pushy. Forceful. Impatient. Always in a hurry. And they're usually ready to tell others how to do their jobs ?better.? Control freaks. Maybe you know one. Maybe you are one. What are you to do? Psychologist Les Parrott (a recovering control freak) helps readers relate better to the control freaks around them. And if you are a control freak, Les will help you become willing to lose the control you love. The book includes self-tests and a lifelong prescription for healthier relationships.Self-Help Books
