Review by Library Journal Review

Who hasn't wished for a mental file of ready replies to use at the appropriate moment? Psychotherapist Alasko (Emotional Bullshit) provides a foundation for that in this title that offers a variety of potential responses and consequences in the areas of dating, relating, parenting, working, and being a good friend. A number of common scenarios are outlined within each of these categories such as dealing with an intrusive neighbor, a companion who talks behind one's back, and a partner who spent all the savings. -VERDICT Alasko gives excellent advice in that he doesn't preach to readers, instead he offers possible solutions and likely situations by which to judge potential actions.
