Difficult people are everywhere. From bullying bosses who demand that employees
scurry to meet their needs … to friends whose favorite pastime is complaining. From
spouses who shut down when you try to connect … to coworkers who seem set on
sabotaging your work. From parents who zing you with their “helpful” observations
about what’s wrong in your life … to children who sullenly grunt one-word responses to
your questions.
