Someone stole your peace today. Maybe it was your ex, who cancels the kids' weekend with a text so casual it made your blood boil. Maybe it was your boss, taking credit for the work that kept you up until midnight. Maybe it was your mother, delivering a "compliment" that somehow left you smaller than before.
Different bastards. Same result: you hand them your day. Your sleep. Your peace of mind.
The Bastard's Advantage is not another book about narcissists. It's a field guide to something more useful; recognizing exactly how difficult people provoke, guilt, confuse, and control you, and building the internal framework to stay grounded no matter what they throw at you.
Drawing on real, raw stories from relationships, the workplace, and daily life, author Ivy Hoo breaks down the psychology behind the behavior and gives you the tools to respond from choice instead of reflex.
This isn't about changing the people who hurt you. It's about finally getting your own life back.
You can't control the bastard. You can always control your response.
