**5 STARS**

One of the best books I've ever read!!

This book, I found, is not actually about difficult people. I mean, yes, nitpickers, hypersensitive, complainers, socially inept, overly aggressive, manipulators, users, con artists, etc. are. The others, yes, but not the depressed or the unhappy.

Yes, they could be difficult to get along with, but for me, they're just different.

What I liked in this book:

* I liked how William J. Diehm shares his perspective in life and connect his knowledge in psychology with the Bible verses.

* I liked how the tips connect with the lessons of God and that we can overcome and control our emotions and/or feelings towards other people that we can encounter in our everyday life.

* I liked the format, where there is a Bible verse at the end of each topic that shows the overall message or lesson of the content.

* I liked how the author elucidates the people and helps the reader to understand the situation of others.

Why read the book:

This is a self-help book where you can read the lessons of God that can be applied in your daily lives. You'll be able to see and understand different people who are seemed to be hard to get along with. That in this book, you'll get tips and answers why people are being negative or think negative and how will you deal with them.

This book is an eye opener. I sometimes would see mistakes and red flags on other people not knowing I also do have my own flaws. This book does not only describe each personalities of difficult people and how to get along with them but also includes how to change your behavior if you think you are the difficult person.

Reading this book helped me become more aware of the people around me and their emotions. It also helped me understand why people would react in a certain way and how we should helped them or sometimes avoid them.

I love that the author based most of the points and examples from Bible verses. I recommend this book to readers who would love to read self help books and who deals mostly with difficult people. LOL. I also would recommend this to readers who want to evaluate their personality and behavior towards other people.

The advice and explanation is pretty basic we all knew it, but yeah. We're just humans, once our emotion eat our mind, brains we cant remember anymore. And there, here this book, will always remind us what to do :)
