About this book

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.

This book will help you to:

  • Develop strategies to calmly navigate emotionally-charged situations

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 
at 
call 
centre, 
they 
all 
have 
one 
thing 
in 
common: 
they 
can 
be 
difficult 
to 
deal 
with.
There 
are 
probably 
times 
when 
you 
wonder 
how 
an 
encounter 
can 
go 
awry 
so 
quickly; 
you 
start 
to 
doubt
