Just what I needed! ;p

This audiobook is just in time. A must read if you're working with a bitchy boss.

Great for business advice

It had a lot of helpful information about how to categorize and handle work conflict. I just feel like they should have expanded the areas they gave examples in, it's not a one size fits all

Good perspective and realistic tips

This book is solid in giving you the perspective needed to not go down the rabbit hole of immobility and despair wheb dealing with negative emotions eminating from co workers and supervisors.

Learned valuable techniques

I learned many techniques that have helped me disengage with some difficult co-workers. The book teaches you how to identify personality traits around you - and challenges you to find yourself in there. How to appease difficult co-workers if you absolutely have to work with them. This gives back your power because in a way you're manipulating and placating them to make their insecure selves feel more important while you walk away rolling your eyes and enjoying the workplace more - well that's what I took from that section anyway. Great, quick audiobook.

Right on Target!

This book spelled out my coworking problems to a T! I was drawn aside by the honesty it showed, even to the point of looking at my own faults that lead to my demise. I actually listened to this several times and took notes in order to help myself cope with things I couldn't control. Very helpful book.

Good Solid Advice

I work in large corporation with staff of 20+. I am bad boss and have bad boss. I am cynic. Dismissed book at first. As book progressed I found valuable insights. I made staff listen to book during work hours. They too were skeptical going in. But now they reference book often. Great fun associating people at work (including me) with circumstances and advice in book. It helps to know your bad circumstance exists elsewhere!!!

describes characters in the office well

The narrator was great. I struggled to finish. It described my bosses to a T. However it's a long unhooking 7 step process to remember to do. I'm sure they help but won't remember to do. I imagine it is easier said than done.

Good guide

Didn't think I'd like this book but it did a great job of giving examples of emotional traps along with ways to handle it.

Difficult People Problem Solved!

Crowley and Elster have written a refreshing and extremely helpful book on how to deal with problem people and situations. The book focuses on work relationships, but I found it very useful dealing with people in all walks of life, including my family. I recommended this book to anyone who has a problem with work relationships or any other relationship. This is a perfect book to give a graduating Seniors or College students as they get ready to join the business world. It is a must read for everyone in business!

As a subject matter expert on workplace bullying and discrimination, I found this book to be highly engaging and brimming with professional details. This is a very good book and a must read!
