If you're feeling stressed, exhausted, unappreciated, or experiencing bullying and mistreatment due to working with an annoying person, it's time to learn how to avoid, outperform, and disarm jerks — starting today. "The Asshole Survival Guide" offers a clear and systematic practical plan for dealing with annoying people — whether in the office, on the playing field, in the classroom, or even in your daily life. Sutton begins with diagnosis: What kind of "jerk" problem are you specifically facing? He then provides practical, evidence-based (and sometimes surprising) strategies for dealing with the rude, uncivil, annoying, and incompetent: from avoiding them, outperforming them, disarming them, and getting rid of them, to building a psychological shield to protect yourself from them. He even teaches readers how to look inward to curb the "little jerk" within themselves. Ultimately, this guide is about developing a personal vision and plan to help you maintain your mental well-being and prevent any annoying person from ruining your good days.
