I'm finding that this book works well outside the work world as well. I have to say that this is excellent for people who don't have a quick response to people who verbally attack. The author does a good job of giving examples of verbal attacks - how to respond to them, and she also gives pointers on what to look for - like repetitivenes (are these attacks common?), body language and so forth. She also lets the reader know that sometimes its okay to not respond - like is it really worth it to get into a confrontation? And of course most importantly when you should put your foot down. "Each of us is at least 75 percent responsible for how people respond to us" (17). For those that ask personal questions: "I have a rule about personal questions - I never answer them" (56)."There isn't much that's private in the world anymore, is ther?" (56). "If I didn't know you, I'd think you were prying (insulting me, being a wise guy, trying to trip me up, making me look bad to your advantage)" (59). "Someone says something he thinks is harmless only to have it be received as an insult. Perhaps he slipped verbally and used the wrong word. His mouth moved more quickly than his brain" (verbal misadventure) (63). URP - unwanted Repetitive Episode

This is a surprise read because I wasn't expecting much from the unassuming book cover. However the content was so useful and practical to handle tough conversations at work, in particular insults or sarcastic remarks that puts you down. The author covers sufficiently the foundation knowledge of this subject before going into the practical application with lots of examples embedded in the text. I would like to read her other titles as well in future.
