My Review:
Mel
Robbins nailed it again. We certainly feel safe and comfortable when
we are in control. But we cannot control other people. We can only
control ourselves. I had no idea how much stress in my own life
originated from my attitude toward other people.
Quit
making other people the problem, Robbins says. Let them be. They are
revealing their character to you. She has compiled information from a
number of scientific and psychological sources. Robbins covers
potential problems. She tells lots of her own stories too.
She
does not leave us helpless, however, and includes how we can inspire
and influence others. While the desire to change must be their own,
we can provide support and the right atmosphere for them.
I
learned much from this book, including why we don't want to change
and what really motivates us. It is a good book for better
understanding the dynamics of personal relationships and how to be
less stressful in them.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
