Dump ‘Em Review

Everybody has that special someone in their life that they can’t wait to get rid of. Whether it’s a housekeeper, a therapist, or a personal trainer, the time comes when you have to pull the plug on the relationship.

Featuring personal stories, useful scripts, and interviews with experts such as Bob Harper from The Biggest Loser, funnyman Adam Carolla, and Michael Jackson’s attorney, Thomas Mesereau, Dump ‘Em is a practical guide for giving any bad relationship the boot. Jodyne L. Speyer provides a roadmap to finding your own way of saying “thanks, but no thanks.” Written with honesty, empathy, and ruthless wit, Dump ‘Em will teach you to conquer your fear of confrontation and master the art of the peaceful and permanent breakup. So what are you waiting for? Dump ‘em!

This book is full of funny points, and great ways to deal with some of the unpleasantness in life such as dealing with a difficult neighbor and lets you know in a fun and practical way how to deal with the situation. You can find tips on how to dump the roommate to how to dump your doctor, which by the way offered me exactly the advice I needed to start looking for my own new doctor. After reading that chapter I realized that my doctor was just like the one in the book, but now I know how to deal with it!

I loved this book and it has actually made me take a step back and evaluate all the relationships I have and some of them have got to go, some will be easier than others to “dump” but I see that it needs to be done. I recommend this book for everyone, especially those that need to do a little “Spring Cleaning” in their lives.
