Psychiatrist Goulston (Get Out of Your Own Way) asserts that we must "lean in" to the crazy--to empathize with it. He distinguishes between mental illness and the kind of absurdity that emerges in everyday interactions with, for example, an irrational partner, a self-sabotaging colleague, or someone who doesn't see the world clearly. To cope with crazy, says Goulston, people have to identify modes in which others act out, realize that it's "not about me," and deal with one's own irrational behaviors first. After discussing the basics of empathetic listening, the author details how to interact with such personalities as the manipulator, the toxic deflector, and the frenemy. VERDICT A solid choice for understanding people in general.
