The book explains that the gremlin is the monster in your mind that makes you miserable by keeping you stuck in your head and thus diverting you from the peace and contentment in your heart. The author notes the gremlin-training method was fully explained in his original work, Taming the Gremlin.

This book on A Master Class in Gremlin-Taming is primarily about how to create rewarding relationships, primarily through a method described in his acronym, I CREATE, which stands for:

I = Intention
C = Connection
R = Respect
E = Environment
A = Authenticity
T = Trust
E = Experience

The book is an easy read and offers some good advice on relationships. The one thing I would note is that if you haven't read his earlier book, "Taming Your Gremlin," you might want to read it first. Throughout the book, he continually references the earlier book, even noting what page numbers certain topics were discussed on. If you haven't read the earlier book (I hadn't), you can feel like you're at a disadvantage due to the continual references to it.
