Customer Reviews

Things you may already know....

The CD was very easy listening. Most of the CD/book spent time explaining tools you may already understand, but may not know how to use. The books is helpful to anyone just starting their career and have to work in a large office space. The hooks and types of people at work were very interesting. I thought the explanation of how to handle the siuation when a peer announces your idea as their own during a meeting to be pretty helpful. This actually does happen quite a bit, especially in the consulting areas.

Watch out troublemakers!

This book has it all. Good sound advice for dealing with all those Pain in the a*#! I wished I'd had this book years ago ...it would have saved me from many sleepless nights. It has given me the tools to identify and overcome the many challenges of corporate life.

Difficult People and Situations Solved!

Crowley and Elster have written a refreshing and extremely helpful book on how to deal with problem people and situations. The book focuses on work relationships, but I found it very useful dealing with people in all walks of life, including my family. I have the Hardcover and Audio versions and use both. I recommended the book or audio version (Audible.com) to anyone who has a problem with work relationships or any other relationship. This is a perfect book to give a graduating Seniors or College students as they get ready to join the business world. It is a must read for everyone in business!

Working With You is Killing Me is right on!

I have just finished reading Working With You is Killing Me. This book is dead on in describing co-workers behavior and how to deal with them realistically. I learned a lot from this book and I took this information and applied it to my work life and the unhooking mentally and physically really works.
