How to Hug a Porcupine: Dealing With Toxic and Difficult to Love Personalities © How to Hug a Porcupine: Dealing With Toxic and Difficult to Love Personalities ©
By Dr. John Lewis Lund

What is a toxic personality?

"A toxic personality is one you cannot please. he or she is incapable of giving total acceptance. YOU WILL NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH. They dangle acceptance like a carrot on a string. The person who wants to be accepted and appreciated can never quite reach the carrot because toxic people only give partial acceptance."

Almost everyone has one of these "impossible to please" people somewhere in their life. What if the toxic personality is a spouse, parent, sibling, in-law, boss, co-worker or child? Is it possible to hug a porcupine and not become a pin cushion? How do we coexist with emotional porcupines and not become as toxic as they are? Are you an emotional porcupine? Do you really want to be one? Is there hope? "Yes..."

Take the Quizzes to see if you have a toxic mate, child, or if you are toxic to yourself or others:

  • Mesoamerica and the Book of Mormon: Is This The Place? Mesoamerica and the Book of Mormon: Is This The Place?
    By Dr. John Lewis Lund

    Did you know...? Jospeh Smith declared that the city of Zarahemla stood upon the land of Guatemala, which was part of southern Mexico in his day. There are two hills named Cumorah. One hill located in the Land of Desolation where the final battles of both the Jaredites and Nephites took place; another twenty-five hundred miles north where Moroni buried the abridgement of the Book of Mormon. Find out why! While nothing can take the place of a spiritual witness of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, an understanding of the correlating evidence of the Book of Mormon, especially as it relates to geography, can provide greater appreciation for this inspired book of scripture. Most people are greatly surprised at how much evidence and information there is about the geography in the Book of Mormon, both things that are internally there and things that have been said by prophets.
