Maybe your mother-in-law snoops but "doesn't judge." Perhaps grandpa hogs the bathroom, or your cousin frequently "just needs a place to crash." Whatever the specifics, it's hard to grin and bear it. From the trenches of these anxiety-inducing and guilt-ridden occasions, here are true stories of inspiration and humor about coping with family personality traits, group dynamics, bad habits, and irritating mannerisms that can drive a sane person crazy. Misery loves company and sometimes the only advice we'll take is from someone who has already stood in our shoes. Whether it is about giving up smoking, trying to lose weight, or having in-laws move in for a month, the Staying Sane series provides readers with just this kind of been-there, done-that commiseration. Each Staying Sane volume is filled with sometimes humorous (laughter is the best medicine, after all!), sometimes inspiring but always sanity-saving success stories of how other people have overcome obstacles or have risen above the situations in question. Practical tips and coping strategies lighten the reader's load throughout. Bibliotherapy of the first order, the Staying Sane guides will support beleaguered readers as they strive to persevere through the duration of their particular challenge. Read Less
