Orizema's Reviews > Living Successfully with Screwed-Up People

The first half of the book is good and was very helpful as I reflected on relationships that have been causing me a lot of stress. However, as the book progressed I felt there were far too many anecdotes which did nothing to further my understanding of the author’s points. The chapters in the latter half of the book felt useless to the goal of “living successfully with screwed-up people”. I also felt uncomfortable because the author clearly wove her beliefs into her writing, from countless mentions of god and faith, to hinting that she very much looked down on the Black Panther Party and abortion.
