Books seem to be legion on the subject that this book covers. Maybe this one says one or more things that elevates it above the others, however. Two things make me think that it does. One, it is rated very highly. Two, it is considered a classic in its field, according to the author's bio.

Emotional Vampires: Dealing With People Who Drain You Dry: Dealing With People Who Drain You Dry. By Albert J. Bernstein. Rated 4 1/2 stars, from 170 reviews at the present moment. Print list price N/A; regular(?) digital price $9.99; Kindle price now $1.99. McGraw-Hill, publisher. 258 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Emotional-Vamp...+Drain+You+Dry.
