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

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.

This is such a useful and insightful book, and the author has thought deeply about the social implications of his work. But listeners outside a US Christian situation will find that some sections need a bit of translation for their own context. The author's insistence on the power of parents in a 2-generational nuclear family is also very American. Other cultures would want to point out to him that competent and involved grandparents, well-structured cheap childcare and a less individualistic, more collective sense of society are also needed in the mix, and help to avoid other societies becoming quite as entitled and narcissistic as US culture seems to be.

Fabulous though with flaws

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.

I'll never be taken advantage of again!
