About this ebook

Prickly, defensive, nasty, volatile, withdrawn, miserable . . . aren't there days when you feel surrounded by difficult people? How do you cope? You can try avoiding them, gossiping about them, or giving them a piece of your mind. But wait! Don't your reactions make you hard to love too?
