  • Not a book

    This read like it was a poorly written brochure. There were typos, and it did not feel like a legitimate book. Do not waste your time or money on this.
  • Not worth the read

    The book only teaches you to be quiet and allow “porcupine people” to step over you to keep the peace.
  • Cute book

    Cute analogy, but only offers up general tips. This reader prefers concrete examples over general tips and advice, to help those who have a hard time figuring out what to say or do in a critical moment. Not that I am looking for a script to follow - a written scenario just helps inspire me on how to handle the situation.
