How to Detach from Negative People: : While Maintaining a Positive Attitude (The Blue Rainbow)

Good advice, but only half a book.

OK so I have terrible inlaws…so had to read this book!!!!!!!! This book really helped me understand why negative people are negative in the first place. It also gave great tips on how to not let it get to me and especially how to protect myself against those bad vibes! It helped me better understand them and stopped me from judging them so much as well. I recommend!

Good book but 3/4 of it is blank pages for notes. I expected more of a book than a journal.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is in a place where they feel they trapped by the negative environments of their own surroundings

I was struck immediately by a quote at the beginning of the book which stated “The people who are the hardest to love are the ones who need it the most.” (Peaceful Warrior) This sets the stage for a thoughtful, and occasionally tough talking book about the necessity of detaching from negative people. The book investigates why many people are stuck in a ‘negative rut,’ and examines the impact on those they come in contact with. Great advice is given regarding staying positive, keeping independent, and most importantly, how to protect yourself from their ‘toxic waste.’ Some suggestions to help are meditating, never judging (though that is a difficult one for me), and learning to feel compassionate w/o losing one’s self-worth. As someone who has family members who seem to revel in being miserable and negative, this book was like a tonic! Highly recommended!
