    About this audiobook

    Some difficult people aren't just hard to deal with—they're dangerous.

    Do you know someone whose moods swing wildly? Do they act unreasonably suspicious or antagonistic? Do they blame others for their own problems?

    When a high-conflict person has one of five common personality disorders—borderline, narcissistic, paranoid, antisocial, or histrionic—they can lash out in risky extremes of emotion and aggression. And once an HCP decides to target you, they're hard to shake.

    But there are ways to protect yourself. Using empathy-driven conflict management techniques, Bill Eddy, a lawyer and therapist with extensive mediation experience, will teach you to:

    • Spot warning signs of the five high-conflict personalities in others and in yourself.
    • Manage relationships with HCPs at work and in your private life.
    • Safely avoid or end dangerous and stressful interactions with HCPs.

    Filled with expert advice and real-life anecdotes, 5 Types of People Who Can Ruin Your Life is an essential guide to helping you escape negative relationships, build healthy connections, and safeguard your reputation and personal life in the process. And if you have a high-conflict personality, this book will help you help yourself.

      While admittedly, the personality classifications in this book are very much a caricature of the people who exhibit similar traits, the book itself is written bluntly and with no nonsense on the kinds of behaviors to avoid/expect in social groups.

      I don’t recommend applying the information in this book objectively to the people in your life you value since that is something you’d want to have more care and nuance about, but this book may better serve you in work/corporate situations and in pointing out individuals you may want to keep at an arms length if you want to just go to work and get paid.

      The fact that this book came up in the search results while I was looking for a book to help me deal with BPD is wrong. People like this guy are the reason there's such an unfounded and emotionally detrimental stigma affecting people with BPD and other disorders like it. Fuck him and his shit book.

      while everyone needs support- the fact that you say these people can "ruin your life" is such a gross stigma.
