Reviews for What To Do When The Problem Is You?

"""An illustrated book of self-help for all ages, What To Do When The Problem Is You? A Picture Book for Leaders by Janak Alford is a refreshingly humorous and straightforward look at some of our worst habits. Unfolding like a children's book with a picture and short rhyming stanza, the book takes on issues such as toxicity and pessimism, offering prescriptions for bad behavior like inclusion and empathy. While the book is certainly breezy, and people will recognize themselves in these couplets, the text might not quite dive deep enough into the serious issues at hand. That said, the book aims to be a quick way for people to diagnose themselves, using humor to better reach those who might not recognize their bad behavior. With amusing rhymes and a healthy dash of irony, the book can help get a dialogue going, offering a fun but surprisingly effective refresher on overcoming bad habits."" Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★"
