Difficult People Made Simple

There's a person in your life who drains you — the critic, the guilt-tripper, the chronic complainer, the steamroller — and you've tried being nice, being firm, avoiding them, and confronting them. Nothing sticks. *Difficult People Made Simple* is the skill book nobody handed you: twelve short chapters on seeing difficult people clearly, setting boundaries that actually hold, and letting go of everything that was never yours to control.

Kimani Upshur walks you through the five familiar faces of difficult people, the calm scripts for the hardest recurring moments, the anatomy of a boundary that works (and how to hold it when it's tested), and how to handle the two toughest venues — family and work. There's also a clear, humane chapter on the line between difficult and dangerous, and exactly what to do when someone crosses it.

Warm, direct, and practical — no clinical labels, no villainizing, no shame. Just wisdom, boundaries, and peace. See. Set. Release. Keep your peace.
