Definitely good book., May 28, 2005

Reviewer:

Lily Boldin "Canadian Girl" (Vancouver, BC)

I like the stories in the book. Those are prime examples of people I saw and I'm seeing every day. The book is excellent for understanding different people and different situations in which you might interact with them. Obviously the book is written by someone who understands people's mind.
 

Love to Work but Hate the People, July 22, 2004

Reviewer:

Craig L. Howe "www.craighowe.com - Home of the Pointed Pundit" (Darien, CT United States) -

I love to work. It is the people with whom I work that transform my hours at work into an unpleasant experience.

In Survival Guide for Working with Humans, Gini Graham Scott offers me practical tools to help me resolve my everyday conflicts.

Each chapter introduces a problem and offers one or two illustrations of them. A discussion of what the people did to resolve their problems successfully follows. Some of the problems covered include revenge, fraud, and overly sensitive people. As a bonus, the author includes a toolbox of techniques for improving work relationships.

Since I love my work, the price of this book was a small price to pay to improve my relationships there.
