Not really what I was after.

I agree this is somewhat elementary, but a very good introduction to the subject. And it is probably better to begin with this summary presentation before delving into a more elaborate exploration of the subject. This program is only 2.5 hours long. For a more in-depth treatment of the subject, exploring Judith Orloff's other works will be beneficial. She has particular insight into this aspect of human personality. It is also helpful hearing her own voice, her tone and emphases. This is especially effective.

i liked a lot of this one, but think i was a bit redundant and over-explanatory in some parts, especially with descriptions of the various types of people in the different categories. and bit too simplistic in this regard too, with the obvious stated sometimes too much. i would have liked to have seen more to address the advanced and subtle complexities that one would find in real life, and with people that are not always just family situations, in practical ways to address. otherwise, how can you beat an audiobook from a best-selling author like this?!

Iwould not recommend this. It is very shallow advice. I hoped for more insight than fluff talk.

This was excellent.

It revealed the answers to questions I have had for years. Such as why I practically had to crawl away from encounters with certain people who drained my energy! Really helpful info on what to do.
