2.0 out of 5 stars
Little practical advice,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Along with Difficult People (Paperback)
Although most entries in this series are usually rather dependable, this volume fails to offer truly workable solutions to encounters with difficult people. Anyone who has had to deal with difficult people will undoubtedly know that it is not an easy challenge, and that for the most part, a little common sense and a lot of patience are the best way to cope. Unfortunately, the solutions suggested in this book provide little more than that. Granted, it may be impossible in one volume to deal with the large variety of difficult personality types that we encounter every day.

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Along with Difficult People (Paperback)
This book has help me a great deal in work and at home. Understanding why individuals can be difficult has turned my anger and resentment into empathy. The book has also given me and my staff strategies for dealing with difficult clients.

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Along with Difficult People (Paperback)
This book offers precious little in the way of practical advice when it comes to dealing with any kind of real situation whatsoever.
I wouldn't purchase this book at a bargain basement sale for 50 cents. Want to gain friends and influence people? Put some of Brandon Yusuf Toropov's non-existent helpful suggestions to the test and see how far you go. Let's face it, this world has its fair share of difficult people. The fact that Brandon Yusuf Toropov thinks we should be paying for such trash suggests to me that he might be one of them.
