"We’ve all dealt with other people’s disruptive behavior in our lives. Whether it’s a demanding customer, a friend who constantly lies, or a coworker who keeps complaining, these things add to the stress of an already hectic lifestyle. That said, true to their name, difficult people are hard to handle even if you’re extremely calm before they approach you. However, there is always a reason for their behavior - and this book will help you reveal it. Likewise, understanding why they act the way they do may also help you answer another question. You’ll learn why it is so difficult to deal with them. After all, people with different socioeconomic backgrounds, cultural beliefs, and cognitive tools can get along just fine most of the time. So, why can’t you do the same with difficult people?
One of the reasons it may be so challenging to handle difficult people is the lack of a clear definition of what this term really means. Because of this, there isn’t a unified classification of traits. The number of difficult personalities varies depending on the definition. For the sake of simplicity, you’ll find them sorted into six universal categories. These are gas lighters, toxic people, narcissists, energy vampires, manipulators, and aggressive people. This book explains how each type is generally defined, its characteristics, and how to identify it."
"Job interviews are never easy and can be nerve-wracking. Being prepared will make you feel more confident and help you handle unpredictable questions or situations during an interview. Knowing certain things when applying for a project manager job is essential. This book will guide you.
Before you apply for a job, the first thing to take care of is your resume. A strong first impression is key in any job interview, and your resume will help you achieve it. In the first chapter, we discuss how to write a resume to impress any recruiter and how to prepare a cover letter to make you a strong candidate. The book moves on to the interview process. We cover everything, like the duration, the types of interviews you could experience, and what usually happens from the moment you apply for the job until the panel decides.
Success doesn't come easy, and every project manager should have certain skills to advance their career. We explain these skills and how to showcase them during your interview. However, your skills aren't the only thing the interviewer will discuss with you. We will help you familiarize behavioral questions to tackle them confidently."
"“My life would be so much better if they weren’t in it.” If you find yourself thinking this a lot, chances are you’re dealing with a particularly difficult person who has made it their life’s mission to bother you. While you’d think that getting rid of that one person will solve all your problems, you’ll most likely encounter someone else just like them sometime in the future.
Difficult people are everywhere, and there’s no escaping them. Thinking that you can get rid of people you dislike is just wishful thinking. After all, can you really get rid of your boss or your in-laws?
Instead of avoiding them or cutting them out of your life, changing your approach to dealing with difficult people is the correct way to go about this problem. However, this book doesn’t guarantee that you’ll never have a problem with a difficult person again. On the contrary, life's problems, arguments, and disputes are quite inevitable. You’re bound to come across people who disagree with you and have no room for personal growth. At this point, instead of getting frustrated, you should opt for healthy ways to deal with such people, which is what this book is all about. "
"Nobody likes being ill, be it simply feeling under the weather or a full-blown case of the flu. Viruses may be tiny, but they replicate at what seems like the speed of light, making them much tougher to get rid of. And when infections don’t go away, they get in the way of life.
Sure, you could go to the doctor, but how many times should you have to go for the same thing? How often can you keep popping expensive antibiotics and other medications that only seem to work for a while? When you stop taking them, more often than not, the infection comes back. We all know it takes at least two courses of strong antibiotics or antivirals to knock most infections on the head.
Those pharmaceutical pills typically come with plenty of side effects – nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, muscle aches, and so on – all making you feel worse than before you started taking them. And when you have to keep taking them to control the infection, things go from bad to worse. But that’s not the worst of it. Keep taking those pills, and you run the risk of antibiotic resistance. This means they stop working so effectively, making it much harder to kill off the infection. "
"Since their discovery in the late 1920s, antibiotics have shaped and reshaped the history of medicine. The medicine that kills bacteria has reduced the number of people dying from common infections. This created enough excitement for pharmaceutical companies to produce it in insane amounts for a while. Doctors were encouraged to prescribe them, and people were presented with all their benefits. After all, this was the first medicine that killed bacteria without harming human cells - or so they thought. However, in the past couple of decades, it has become more than evident that synthetic antibiotics are overused. They’ve caused a wide range of issues even modern medicine has difficulties dealing with. During this period, the focus shifted to the production and use of natural antibiotics - the topic of this book.
Plants have been used in natural medicine for thousands of years. Ancient remedies were prepared for a plethora of conditions, including infections. With the development of the modern sciences, many bioactive compounds in herbs have been isolated. Their actions have been thoroughly studied, allowing us to understand how they benefit the body. Due to this, we know that herbal antibiotics act on the same principle as their synthetic counterparts; they kill the bacteria spreading throughout the body.
The difference is that herbal antibiotics also help the body to recover. You don’t need months of prebiotic treatments after using herbal antibiotics. The combination of herbs is often devised so that it sheds the cells from getting damaged during the treatment. While, in challenging cases, the additional use of natural healing agents is still necessary, herbal antibiotics protect the immune system instead of weakening it. "
"Face it: Difficult people are as unavoidable as they are problematic. That’s why you need to have a plan in place for how to deal with them when your paths cross. For the longest time, you may have decided that the best thing to do with them is put up with them and wait for the chance to get out of their space, but as you’ve probably realized, that solution isn’t always practical. So, this book will take you by the hand and show you the ins and outs of dealing with frustrating people without losing your head.
Learning how to deal with the difficult people in your life is a great way to level up communication. It doesn’t matter if you’re dealing with someone determined to misunderstand you or who always finds an excuse to be aggressive. You’ll find you made a brilliant choice by picking this book out of all the others because it will equip you with the tools and know-how to make the best of these problematic encounters you face. You no longer have to let others take advantage of you just because you want peace to reign. Instead, you can take the reins of each conversation with the difficult person and steer things where you want them to go.
In this book, you’re going to learn how to adopt the right attitude and state of mind, which will, in turn, help you handle problematic individuals with ease and finesse. You’ll have a plan of action that works well, whether it’s for your relationship, career, friendships, or any other thing in life. This book is written in simple English, and the concepts are easy to grasp immediately. The only thing between you and your successful tango with the difficult ones in your path is your commitment to applying the principles in these pages. Do that, and you’ll never have to be dragged down by another frown-inducing encounter again."
