A practical guide to a common problem,
By
This review is from: Surviving Stress at Work: Understand It, Overcome It (Paperback)
Melanie King has written a well researched and reader-friendly book for those folks who experience bullying in the workplace, and who are looking to make some meaningful changes in their lives. This is not a book for victims, but rather a guide to understanding this common problem in the workplace today and practical advice for ways to deal with it. Particularly helpful was the section on coping strategies. The author sums up the philosohy of the book in the title of the final chapter, "A Slip Not a Fall." I highly recommend this book!
