About this listen

Modern permissiveness and the new culture of entitlement allows disturbed people to reach adulthood without proper socialization. In a book meant both for the general public and for professionals, best-selling author and psychologist George Simon explains in plain English:

  • How most disturbed characters think
  • The habitual behaviors the disturbed use to avoid responsibility and to manipulate, deceive, and exploit others
  • Why victims in relationships with disturbed characters do not get help they need from traditional therapies
  • A straightforward guide to recognizing and understanding all relevant personality types, especially those most likely to undermine relationships
  • A new framework for making sense of the crazy world many find themselves in when there's a disturbed character in their lives
  • Concrete principles that promote responsibility and positive change when engaging disturbed characters
  • Tactics (for both lay persons and therapists) to lessen the chances for victimization and empower those who would otherwise be victims in their relationships with many types of disturbed characters

Necessary Reading!!!!

This book is excellent and should be taught in schools!!!

I decided to listen in the hope I could find out some truths about my life and why I ended up in a toxic relationship.

Finally I have found some answers and know that I wasn’t to blame.

Thanks ti the author and his very assure view on the disturbed mind.

Very useful content.

Will need to listen more than once, or a few times, because this got lots of good content.

I'll never be taken advantage of again!

Empowering book. Just be prepared to start seeing right through these manipulative, character disturbed people and the tactics they use. Suddenly my eyes are open! Must read, especially if you are in, or have been in, abusive relationships before. All you need to do then is decide what to do with your new found knowledge.

Brilliant!

Everyone should read this book, especially those who live or work with people who have negative character traits. This book gives the tools to recognise these people, which is extremely valuable if a person seems a bit off and you don't want to risk offending them.

Not sure about this

A very interesting book however I am not sure that the comparisons with the 10 commandments has much to do with our mental health! Or indeed with a belief in the Christian god

Whether one is a good and decent person or not has nothing to do with religion

Interesting

Interesting information about disturbed personalities and personality disorders. However some of information is corrupted by Christian ideals that are not backed up by evidence.
