About this ebook

An updated new edition of the definitive guide to working with, surviving, and banishing bullies, creeps, jerks, tyrants, tormentors, despots, backstabbers, egomaniacs, and all the other assholes who do their best to destroy you at work. 

"What an asshole!"

How many times have you said that about someone you work with? You're not alone! 

In this 20th anniversary edition of his groundbreaking book, Stanford University professor Robert I. Sutton helps you understand why assholes can be so destructive to your company and the best way to deal with them. The No Asshole Rule is a rollicking and research-based New York Times bestseller while also being practical, compassionate, and downright funny. That’s why it is the first book people who are plagued by assholes, and leaders who want to build civilized workplaces, turn to for help.  And why it has sold over a million copies in more than 20 countries. 

This update of professor Sutton’s definitive guide offers:

  • A new foreword by the author on what he's learned over the past 20 years from being “the asshole guy”
  • Strategies on how to pinpoint and eliminate workplace assholes and their negative impact
  • An evidence-based recipe for building civilized workplaces that bar and banish assholes
  • Tips for surviving nasty colleagues, customers, and workplaces
  • A self-diagnostic test and a program to identify and keep your own “inner jerk” from coming out.


The No Asshole Rule is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller.
