" This book could have benefited from a tighter edit, but the errors didn't detract that much from the writing. Covert aggressor is a more palatable way to process the sociopathic personality, and CA fits many people who don't exactly fall under sociopath. In reading this, I discovered that people I once termed passive aggressive are really covert aggressive. "

" I have so much to say about this book and all of its fascinating and essential insights. But I will write that later! Basically I recommend this book to EVERYBODY ON THE ENTIRE PLANET along with The Wisdom of the Enneagram: The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth for the Nine Personality Types. I swear that these two books have helped me unlike any others to understand people and develop a working philosophy for my interactions with them, and with myself, and just, a very accessible and nuanced examination of human nature.

" This book doesn't go into a lot of detail, but that's OK. It's an easy read. I came away with a general insight into how to spot and deal with a class of people the author labels as covert-aggressive. These types appear to be friendly and helpful, but are actually just disguising their behavior in order to manipulate others to achieve their own goals. "

" While reading this book, I could vividly remember many times where I had been manipulated in previous arguments throughout the years. I knew I wasn't crazy! HA! I can definitely pinpoint when someone is just manipulating to try and get there way and although I need better practice on how to deal with this....at least I can recognize it now. Very quick, easy, informative read. "

" A helpful presentation of the character of manipulative people, how they manipulate others, and how you can counter this in a practical way. A useful book, though some parts are a bit slow going. "
