I can`t believe I did that! What was I thinking?

We’ve all got one: an inner brat that compels us to grab one more cookie or throw a hissy fit over a minor irritation. This inner brat can wreak havoc at work, in relationships, and with our self-esteem. With humor and kindness, Taming Your Inner Brat gives you specific strategies to bring your attitudes and bratty behaviors under control. You can learn to deal with any situation in a productive, adult manner. By teaching you how to recognize your inner brat, psychologist Pauline Wallin, Ph.D. helps you bring problems into manageable perspective and make changes that last.

. . . Which leaves just one question, answered in this new edition: “Now that I’ve tamed my own inner brat, what do I do about people who haven’t tamed theirs?”
