Publisher's Synopsis
Discover how to deal with difficult people in your life.
Before I can go any further, we have a few things that we have to get out of the way first. There are a lot of ways to define a difficult person for the simple fact that there are so many different types of difficult people out there. For simplicity's sake, we will begin by starting with a practical definition that works for all of them.
While the rest of this book will be covering specific situations and ways to deal with difficult people, there is one very important thing that must be covered first and that is your responsibility in any situation.
Relationships with toxic people can be detrimental to your well-being, and you have to be proactive in ensuring that you know what to do if you ever were to meet one. The purpose of this book is to do more than just identify one of two types of difficult persons you can meet in the workplace. It also reveals the characteristics of these types of people along with providing you with valuable tips on what you can do to manage these unforeseen relationships.
Life is one of the most precious gifts that we will ever come to own. How you choose to live it is entirely up to you; however, there is nothing wrong with getting a little bit of advice from time to time on what you can do to make the journey a tad bit easier. That is where this book comes in. I am here to help you to manage something that everyone will deal with at some point in their life: difficult people.
A difficult person is someone who has the potential to impact both you and your livelihood negatively. In other words, it's a person that is utterly bad for you. The reason that a difficult person is so dangerous is that often they are not readily recognized as being very toxic.
You could go days, months, or even years with associating with these type of toxic people and never even know how much damage that they are causing in your life. It can be very stressful to not be able to decipher between who is really trying to be a positive influence in your life and who isn't.
Luckily, this is where this book will be most helpful. To protect yourself from a toxic person, you have to be able to know one when you see one. There are always signs. It's just a point of being able to identify them.
Pull up a chair, because I'm quite sure that some of these descriptions will hit home for you.
