Publisher's Summary
With their 1994 international bestseller, Drs. Rick Brinkman and Rick Kirschner armed a civility-starved world with no-nonsense strategies for dealing with difficult people with tact and skill. Since then, the world has changed dramatically: technology designed to bring people closer together has only made it that much harder to avoid "people you can't stand." At best, such people can make life stressful and unpleasant. At worst, they can keep you from achieving important goals. The good news is that you don't have to let them do either! It's fully within your power to bring out the best behavior in people who are at their worst. From this one-of-a-kind guide, you'll learn:
Updated and revised for the digital age, this new edition of Brinkman and Kirschner's bestselling guide, available in audio for the first time, shows readers how to successfully combat the whiners, grenades, tanks, snipers, close-talkers, pedants, and other rude, crude, and inconsiderate people who can ruin your day at work, in stores, on the street, in restaurants, at the movies, in waiting rooms, by fax, phone, and E-mail, and online.

Help for the Dilbert World
This is nothing short of an excellent road map to get you through the day intact in the intricate world of business culture. I use what I learned in this series all day long in the hurricane of a bustling hospital culture, though it would be applicable in the context of any group setting. Learn how to identify those snipers and tanks, neutralize them, and then move forward with love.

Brilliant book with lots of practical application
This book was exactly what I hoped it would be. Runs through each difficult person stereotype and gives you step by step instructions on how to deal with them. Will now feel so much prepared when dealing with 'challenging' people at work.
Only criticism is that things may not be as black and whit as the book makes it seem but this is a book I will still recommend to anyone and everyone.
