📖 The Scoop

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When Paul was nineteen, he held up a convenience store and ran off with $350. Police arrested him three days later. After being convicted of armed robbery, he spent several years in jail but turned his life around, earning his GED and tutoring some of the other inmates. When he got out, he joined a church, whose members welcomed him. #2 Amy’s mother was extremely dramatic about her father’s death. She sobbed, and said, What am I going to do now. You’re going to take care of me, aren’t you. Or are you going to abandon me like you did your father. #3 There are five types of people who can ruin your life. They are the Narcissistic High-Conflict Personality, the histrionic HCP, the antisocial HCP, the schizoid HCP, and the paranoid HCP. They are difficult to deal with, and can often be avoided if you know what you’re looking for. #4 Borderline, Antisocial, and Paranoid HCPs are extremely charismatic and exciting, but their charm is a cover for their drive to dominate others through lying, stealing, publicly humiliating people, and physically injuring them.
