Protect yourself from people who take undue advantage and suck the energy out of your life Emotional Vampires will help you cope effectively with the people in your life that confound you, confuse you, and seem to sap every ounce of your energy. Bestselling author Dr. Al Bernstein shows you how to recognize each vampire type--antisocial, histrionic, narcissists, obsessive-compulsives, paranoids--and deal with them effectively. He uses many examples from the latest news headlines, which will help you distinguish between the types and deepen your understanding of each one. In response to the daily calls and emails he got about the previous edition of this book, Dr. Al Bernstein has added his advice for dealing with those emotional vampires who come in the shape of spouses and lovers, relatives, and children. Dr. Bernstein shows you how to deal with each vampire type and what you need to do to keep from getting drained.

This is ok. Some of it is helpful. The general flippant tone was weird and the vampire metaphor got old fast. But there were some useful bits tucked away in there.

This week has left me completely drained and I‘m so thankful it is finally over. Here‘s hoping a night of reading and relaxing helps, since I don‘t have the strength or willpower to face another soul for at least 24 hours (though I‘ll be lucky if I get half that with prior commitments...)

Thank you, Morrigan, for perfectly posing to reflect my mood.

Once you begin to know a thing, then you can have power over it.

Once you understand the lifestyles and profiles of the anti-social, histrionic, narcissistic, obsessive compulsive, and the paranoid, then you can see them coming from a mile away and act accordingly.

Fantastic summary and quizzes here: http://www.albernstein.com/checklists.php
