Dealing with People Who Drain You Dry

By: Albert J. Bernstein

Narrated by: Tom Perkins

Protect yourself from people who take undue advantage and suck the energy out of your life.

Emotional Vampires will help you cope effectively with the people in your life that confound you, confuse you, and seem to sap every ounce of your energy. Best-selling author Dr. Al Bernstein shows you how to recognize each vampire type - antisocial, histrionic, narcissists, obsessive-compulsives, paranoids - and deal with them effectively. He uses many examples from the latest news headlines, which will help you distinguish between the types and deepen your understanding of each one.

In response to the daily calls and emails he got about the previous edition of this book, Dr. Al Bernstein has added his advice for dealing with those emotional vampires who come in the shape of spouses and lovers, relatives, and children. Dr. Bernstein shows you how to deal with each vampire type and what you need to do to keep from getting drained.

The book gave me some excellent stategies that I plan to put into pratice from this day forward in dealing with my vampire spouse. Knowledge is power.

Practical

So many books show you what personality disorders are but rarely do they tell you how to deal with these people. This book is right on and is a very practical for dealing with the ever increasing toxic people in the world.

Great book explains everyone

I am able to Love and enjoy people more knowing what type of personality people are and how to handle them and work together.

Comprehensive view of toxic archetypes brilliant

So incredibly accurate, although all the dynamics of it can interchange to make new whole levels of just shitty people, and I really thoroughly enjoyed these sarcastic choice of words and the dark humor and the whole feel of the book.
