Help for the many different relationships (home, work, friends) in your life

I have returned to this book several times for help in understanding why I have an "uh oh" feeling in my gut in regard to certain relationships; loving partnerships, business relationships, family relationships. All of us bring baggage with us and sometimes this baggage interferes with how we treat each other. If several significant women treated a certain man as a "credit card" rather than as an equal, loving individual with special qualities, then the next woman who comes along will likely be seen by him as a golddigger as well - even if she is completely innocent of this personality trait. This book instructs you to see how someone may be projecting their expectations on you and how to get them to stop, for the health of the relationship. While many people know about the concept of "projecting," I think this book is really helpful to break destructive patterns and improve your own self-esteem by not allowing others to see you in ways that are not consistent with who you really are - but which are based upon how they "see" you, whether as clingy girlfriend, lazy employee, irresponsible friend, or ball-buster.

To project or not to project.

This books hits the nail on the head. I think we all are guilty of projection at times, and this book provides a sense of understanding of the hows and whys of projection and it's effects.
