2.0 out of 5 stars Little practical advice, November 19, 2000

By A Customer

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Previous reviewer was too kind, April 14, 2007

By	James Forsyth "www.jamesforsyth.net" (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
