All too often we have to deal with them:
those mean, destructive people who seem to live only
to put others down.
One nasty person can poison an organization, and he
will make
your life misery if you happen to work with or under
him.
This short, practical book helps you understand the
abusive personality
and learn how to avoid being abused.
The nasty person is an "invalidator". He seeks to
prop up his
own self-esteem by devaluing others.
He has to control others by whatever means
possible,
and despite occasional lapses into courtesy,
he will probably never change.
Then there is the other side of the relationship: the
victim.
Often the victim chooses his plight by not getting
away
from the invalidator when given the opportunity.
Victims, in turn, often become invalidators
themselves.
There is no easy cure for the "little Hitlers" we
often encounter,
but we can learn to anticipate
their reactions -- as animal trainers must do with
the lions.
For anyone not living in a cave,
this book is an essential social survival manual.
Illustrated with cartoons by Daniel Hockstatter.

From the Book Cover
It is very likely you have met someone who could make
you
feel as big as the period at the end of this
sentence. You
probably walked away angry or hurt and later thought
of
all sorts of things you wish you had said. The
memories of
situations and people like that may still twist your
stomach
into knots.
Perhaps you work with someone who seems to be able to
control you by making you feel bad.
Maybe you live with someone who manipulates you with
shouts or tears.
Or it could be that you yourself are a "nasty
person".
If any of these scenarios sound familiar to you,
you'll
find this book to be of great value. It's all about
nasty
people-people who bring themselves up by putting
others
down. It uncovers the weapons they use to get what
they
want and reveals the secrets of how to handle their
misdeeds by using everything from humor to
confrontation. With Nasty People, you'll never again
be
defenseless against the office gossip, the false
friend, the
know-it-all spouse--even a real SOB. The book
discusses:
- How nasty people think
- The nasty boss
- The nasty husband or wife
- The typical "victim"
- What to do if you think you might be a nasty
person
- How to break the cycle of nastiness
Nasty People has the power to change your life
because
once you know how to spot and conquer nasty behavior,
the people who used to intimidate you lose their
power. Best
of all, you'll learn that you don't have to turn into
a jerk to
get rid of one!
