Why read it?

1 author picked Nasty People as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love this book because, unfortunately, at work and/or in our personal lives, we encounter nasty people. Because I do not consider myself to be a nasty person, I often did not know the tools that would equip me to effectively deal with nasty people when I encountered them.

From reading the book, I learned tools to help me handle nasty people and maintain my power instead of giving them power over me. I did not have to stoop to their level of nastiness. I could still be my positive, authentic self and thrive in my career.
