Publisher's Summary

Workplaces are filled with all types of people, and some of them can be very difficult to get along with. By understanding difficult people and their behaviors, a savvy individual can resolve the awkward and problematic situations they create.

Dealing with Difficult People looks at difficult behavior - what drives it and how to cope with it by managing aggression, avoiding awkward situations, and keeping calm. This third edition provides brand new summary points for each chapter and the tools and techniques for dealing with difficult customers, difficult people in the digital sphere, and difficult bosses.

Less than credible scenarios

I struggled to comprehend how these suggestions could be applied in the real world. I honestly felt that I would escalate tensions further if I attempted to apply some of the lessons from this audiobook. Time will tell whether this audiobook was helpful for me or not.

Really worth a read

I loved this book and found the examples extremely helpful in understanding the points highlighted. Most importantly the information is helpful to turn a situation to one’s advantage.

Poor advice from someone who lacks emotional intel

If your goal is to be seen as a condescending and robotic corporate shill; this book is for you!

Following this author's advice will only worsen your professional relationships and make life more difficult for yourself. The author's concept of a 'difficult person' seems to be anyone that is able to think critically and question authority.

Give this one a miss.

Needs editing

The intro was formatted like a repettitive list and almost entirely made up of quotes. Might as well just read the aource material. It only got worse after that
