DON'T LET PROBLEM PEOPLE GET TO YOU!

Whether it's a manager who keeps moving the goal posts, an uncooperative colleague, negative friend, or critical family member, some people are just plain hard to get along with.

Often, your immediate response is to shrink or sulk, become defensive or attack. But there are smarter moves to make when dealing with difficult people. This book explains how to cope with a range of situations with difficult people and to focus on what you can change.

This book will help you to:

  • Understand what makes difficult people tick and how best to handle them
  • Learn ways to confidently stand up to others and resist the urge to attack back
  • Develop strategies to calmly navigate emotionally-charged situations
  • Deal with all kinds of difficult people – hostile, manipulative and the impossible
  • Know when to choose your battles, and when to walk away

Why let someone else's bad attitude ruin your day? How to Deal With Difficult People arms you with all the tools and tactics you need to handle all kinds of people – to make your life less stressful and a great deal easier.

Who 
or 
what 
is 
difficult 
person? 
It’s 
anyone 
who 
leaves 
you 
feeling 
upset 
or 
let 
down, 
frustrated 
or 
angry, 
humili-
ated 
or 
confused, 
drained 
or 
despairing.
difficult 
person 
can 
be 
someone 
who 
behaves 
in 
an 
exploitative 
or 
unethical 
manner; 
they 
may 
be 
someone 
who 
creates 
sense 
of 
distrust 
because 
they 
avoid 
saying 
what 
they 
really 
think 
or 
feel.
difficult 
person 
may 
be 
someone 
who 
refuses 
to 
cooper-
ate 
with 
you. 
They 
may 
avoid 
taking 
responsibility 
and 
duck 
out 
of 
commitments.
difficult 
person 
can 
also 
be 
someone 
who 
is 
negative 
and 
critical; 
they 
find 
fault 
easily 
without 
offering 
any 
con-
structive 
or 
helpful 
alternatives.
Whether 
it’s 
manager 
who 
keeps 
moving 
the 
goalposts, 
an 
uncooperative 
colleague 
or 
the 
difficult-to-please 
client, 
your 
negative 
friend, 
sarcastic 
brother-in-law, 
critical 
par-
ent 
or 
the 
infuriating 
person

call 
centre, 
they 
all 
have 
one 
thing 
in 
common: 
they 
can 
be 
difficult 
to 
deal 
with.
There 
are 
probably 
times 
when

how
