About this audiobook
Do you know one of these men?
The catch-me-if-you-can lover . . .
Phil's romantic and passionate one minute, distant and cold the next.
The deviously manipulative coworker or boss . . .
Jack denies resenting Nora's rapid rise in the company, but when they're assigned to work together on a project, he undermines her.
The obstructionist, procrastinating husband . . .
Bob keeps telling his wife he'll finish the painting job he began years ago, but he never seems to get around to it.
These are all classic examples of the passive aggressive man. This personality syndrome-in which hostility wears a mask of passivity-is currently the number one source of men's problems in relationships and on the job. In Living with the Passive Aggressive Man, Scott Wetzler draws upon numerous case histories from his own practice to explain how and why the passive aggressive man thinks, feels, and acts the way he does.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Author provided positive and useful strategies for working with PA persons
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Okay. Will be useful to some people who have to deal with passive-aggressive types. But it has a lot of repetition, and could be shorter and more focussed. Light on solutions because in most cases these people can't really be changed - you either put up with them or get out.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed the book a great deal ans would suggest it to anyone living with a passive aggressive person. The reason I gave it four rather than five stars is because it does not really give a great deal of hope for people overcoming this problem. The book seems to lean more toward learning to live with it or leave the situation. I would really like to see solutions.
