This one examines those who drain us - the 'vampires' as they call them, although it's perhaps not a helpful term as such. But there check-lists enabling us to see what it is about certain people that makes us feel exhausted when dealing with them, and there are hints about working with each of the types mentioned, as well as general advice. Perhaps a bit exaggerated in places, but still well worth reading. Although I am not a huge fan of the "self-help" genre, I do think this book is extremely helpful in devising communication strategies for the people who annoy me most. In my worklife, I give this book out as a door prize when I train managers in the gentle art of dealing with their employees' emotional baggage. It has also been helpful to me in my personal life. The vampire hook is funny, but it doesn't go too far and it's a helpful, accurate metaphor for the personalities addressed in the book. Good stuff. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

In this book, psychologist Bernstein describes the five personality disorders that most often drain (i.e. the “vampire” of the title) people’s emotional energy: antisocial, histrionic, narcissistic, obsessive-compulsive and paranoid. It’s very interesting and applicable but I’m left feeling muddled; his organization of the material and his repetition among the various disorders did not enhance clarity. ( )
