Emotional Vampires: How to Protect Your Happiness from People That Suck You Dry

They don't wear capes, but they will drain the life out of you. Whether it's your needy coworker, guilt-tripping parent, or that "friend" who always turns every conversation into a therapy session about themselves-emotional vampires are everywhere.

In this funny, brutally honest guide, Coach Ratner exposes the emotional bloodsuckers that feed on your peace of mind-and shows you exactly how to stop them. You'll learn to spot manipulation before it starts, keep your boundaries strong, and reclaim your energy (and sanity).

From the Perpetual Victim who's allergic to accountability, to the Narcissist who believes the world revolves around their reflection, to the Drama Queen, the Projector, and the Emotionally Constipated-you'll laugh, cringe, and maybe even recognize a few people in your life (or yourself).
