How to Deal With Crazy People

We’ve all seen them. The people who walk to the beat of a different drummer. We’ve shook our heads and wondered just what they were thinking and why they do what they are doing. We’ve puzzled over their behaviors, questioned them and in some cases asked them to stop an annoying behavior but they quickly fall right back into the same patterns. It’s great when we can watch from afar and not have to deal with these unusual people or we can just close up shop and walk the other way, but unfortunately, these people are a part of our world and cannot be avoided.

These crazy people could be in our immediate families or at work. We encounter them at school and at the store, no matter where we go we cannot avoid their crazy behaviors, odd views and somewhat eccentric behaviors. In his book entitled “How To Deal With Crazy People” author James Wilcox examines in great detail the different types of crazy people that you may encounter in your life and how to deal with them if they cross your path.
