The Asshole Survival Guide
How to Deal with People Who Treat You Like Dirt
About the book
A diagnosis comes first in Robert I. Sutton's plan for handling people who bully and demean others: working out exactly what kind of jerk problem is at hand. From there he offers evidence-based and field-tested tactics, some of them surprising, for avoiding such people, outwitting them, disarming them or sending them away, along with ways to build psychological armor against their behavior. The settings range from offices and sports fields to classrooms and daily life. Sutton also asks readers to examine their own conduct and curb the jerk within. The guide is meant for anyone who needs a personal plan to keep one rude person from ruining an otherwise good day.
