The Asshole Survival Guide /

If you're feeling stressed out, overtaxed, under-appreciated, bullied, or abused because you work with a jerk, learn how to avoid, outwit, and disarm assholes—today.

Equally useful and entertaining, The Asshole Survival Guide delivers a cogent and methodical game plan when you find yourself working with a jerk—whether in the office, on the field, in the classroom, or just in life.

Sutton starts with diagnosis—what kind of asshole problem, exactly, are you dealing with? From there, he provides field-tested, evidence-based, and sometimes surprising strategies for dealing with the rude, impolite, irritating, unpleasant, or just plain incompetent—avoiding them, outwitting them, disarming them, sending them packing, and developing protective psychological armor. Sutton even teaches readers how to look inward to stifle their own inner jackass. 


Ultimately, this survival guide is about developing an outlook and personal plan that will help you preserve the sanity in your life, and will prevent all those perfectly good days from being ruined by some jerk.

Notes

★ "This survival guide is here to help keep you from going insane. It's full of science-driven tips and strategies on how to deal with nasty bosses, manipulative colleagues, or other general jerks in your life." W Magazine

★ "People are jerks. And there's plenty of evidence to prove it in the very blunt self-help book called "The A—hole Survival Guide," a scholarly source that teaches fed-up readers how to deal with co-workers, strangers and just about anyone who sucks." Moneyish

★ "Sutton offers a variety of techniques that people suffering the presence of difficult individuals at their work, in their sports teams or just in everyday life can employ to deal with them or fight back... This is a small book but it could play a big part in making us treat others better." Forbes

★ "If everyone had paid attention to the Stanford business professor's best-selling 2007 management manifesto, "The No Asshole Rule," there would be no need for a follow-up. Yet here we are." Esquire

★ "The crowded genre of workplace bullying books features clever titles ... the best of the authors in the category is Stanford Professor Robert Sutton, who published The No Asshole Rule a decade ago and returns now with a more fully developed plan of action." The National Book Review

★ "Sutton's breezy writing style, combined with the wide array of anecdotes and stories from people who've written him about their difficulties, makes for an entertaining read ... consider that the physical book itself might be a solution to an a-hole at work. Much like the effect Sutton's first book reportedly has had, simply leaving The Asshole Survival Guide prominently on your desk may send all the signal you need." SmartUp
