5.0 out of 5 stars A Terrific, Very Effective BOOK!!!!, September 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Does Someone at Work Treat You Badly? (Paperback)

I am a self help book "junkie" (Guess, I need help for that!) but anyway, I do struggle with professional anxiety issues when it comes to office politics and being over apologetic in general to authority figures and co-workers who can be at times out of line. This book is the BEST book I have ever read that addresses REAL ISSUES and stresses that arise from dealing with at times ego-centric, power hungry, controlling, backstabbing people and NOT LOSE YOUR SANITY. His mantras that he offers the readers are innovative and at first seem kinda weird but upon using them, ( I am just beginning to feel better about myself and my professional contribution!! already) If you have any issues like this that you are dealing with on this front...Pls Pls READ THIS BOOK!! Best Medicine in Bookform for these type of mental ailments.....It is a Must Read and should be recommended by every therapist worth their Fee.... I currently have a terrific work setting and co workers and management team. but it hasnt always been like that...The book even helps one to see that the problems nor the solutions are outside one's self but ALWAYS internal first beginning with Self perception and self- appreciation even during the most trying and aggravating work situations.

I read this book after leaving an "impossible" work situation. I immediately went back and recommended it to coworkers who were still working there. I believe what I have learned will help me in avoiding similar difficulties in the future and in working through problems wherever my career goes.

This review is from: Does Someone at Work Treat You Badly? (Paperback)

Everyone should read this book before starting their first employment. It contains helpful advice on how to handle difficult situations with coworkers/bosses, and how to prevent dishonest people at work from messing up your career. You should not wait until you are in trouble to read this! It is easy to read for people who has english as their second language.
