Not a good book. Editor did not do a good job either. For the 5th edition it had to be better.
The author just keeps repeating herself too much, the text is disorganised and does not correspond to chapter titles. There is no in-depth analysis of the emotion itself. Just repetition of statements about how terrible it is, how destructive, detrimental for relationships, etc. Author stresses too much that it is the fault of the jealous person and all responsibility is on them, which does not make a reader feel understood. There is no compassion from the author to those readers who are jealous. She keeps blaming them for things. Terrible attitude. If a book is bought by a jealous person, they already know that the feeling is not a beneficial one. Why make them feel even more bad about it?!
Author also contradicts herself a lot. E.g saying “jealous person does not trust anyone”, and then as an advice to them: “go and find a person you trust to share… “
I am not at all a jealous person and wanted to read about this topic to understand the behaviour, emotions, causes, psychology of it. But for this aim the book was useless. All it has are hundreds of examples of jealous behaviours, advice of what to say, what not to say and statements in BOLD how the feeling is destructive and it is the persons fault.
I hope that someone can find it helpful to them. But I hope that it does not make things worse.
Bad read indeed.
