A book that has caught my interest is a book called Nasty People by Jay Carter.
Book Description
How to spot and conquer nasty behavior. Learn the secrets of handling these people by using everything from humor to confrontation.
From the Back Cover
Surefire methods to neutralize the nasty people in your life
Have you been hurt, betrayed, or degraded by a nasty person? Perhaps it's your boss, your parent, or your spouse. Whoever it is, he or she is an invalidator who feeds on your self-esteem, mental anguish, and unhappiness. But you can stop this cycle of abuse and put an end to sneak attacks on your soul--without resorting to nasty tactics.
In this updated bestselling guide to staying sane while dealing with difficult people, Jay Carter, Psy.D., calls upon decades of practice and observation to offer proven strategies for avoiding toxic relationships. With straight-talking advice, real-life anecdotes, and psychology that makes sense, Dr. Carter gives you the surefire tricks and techniques you need to:
Identify the invalidators in your life
Protect your sanity
Use humor to get out of the blame game
Conquer self-doubt
Stop invalidating yourself
Confront emotional bullies
See the bigger picture
Reclaim the captain's seat of your soul and take care of people like Sylvester, hisomuhito, Wolf and the new one oddbodd
I know this book is not a movie book but I thought the title and content would be very useful to make the above feel very guilty for not being as nice as the other people on the forum such as Carl, nige, Liz, Krytens featherduster and anyone else I've forgotten _________________
I definitely have to get this book Since starting work at my current place of employment, I have never met so many nasty people compressed into one buidling. (Nasty does not even come close to describing some of them). Luckily I have survived for ten years... HOW? I am far more nasty than any of them
Also if the book is thick and heavy you could always hit them with it not that I'm advocating violence or anything _________________ http://www.withintheshadowofthetree.com/
