Overcoming Passive-Aggression, Revised Edition

Excellent comprehensive overview of passive aggressive behaviors and it’s causes. The book covers PA in both children and adults. I’m an HR Organization Development professional and this has really helped build my understanding of PA - which has been a great help to me in coaching executive leaders. Particularly those who are more difficult and challenging. Highly recommend!!

A great read on how to discover and deal with passive aggression in yourself and others.

Helped a lot with my obvious problem. I needed to work on and this book helped me realize when I was doing it and how to prevent myself from continuing. Both me and my mom read the book and she has not said it helped her but I haven’t seen her be like that in a while so that’s good. We both had different levels of the problem and I’d definitely say I had less of one and she had a bad one. So at different levels we both found it to help it seems. I needed the book because my passive aggressive problem definitely played a part in the end of an relationship that was and is very important to me.

This is a great book. I'm thoroughly enjoying it and would suggest this book to anyone interested in the topics of passive agression and anger in general.

It is a serious problem for many of us, not just the sufferer. Being around these people often is not very pleasant.The constant undermining is one unpleasant reality.. Being afraid to tell people to stop annoying you is another.

After reading this book, I finally understood the behaviors of people I interact with - they have passive aggressive tendencies!

Information was very helpful! CD would skip tracks but when moved back to skipped track played fine.

A little passive aggressive content, but otherwise a good read. Lol

Das Buch hilft mir im Umgang mit Mitarbeitern nicht weiter. Anekdotenhaft und sehr subjektiv geschrieben. Keine saubere Systematik Habe es nach 25% nicht weitergelesen.

Supported good understanding and helps me better manage my team manager's poor behaviour more directly

This book is very thorough in explaining why people act a certain way and was able to explain this to others that didn’t understand why this certain person did certain actions and said mean things.

A good and insightful read but a bit lengthy at times.It can be overwhelming at first but if one truly wants to change ones relationship with anyone (partner,co-workers,family members,friends, bosses ) it is a good start. Self awareness and willingness to change are the keys to read this book. It illustrates that we as individuals are responsible for our feelings, our attitudes and actions and that we have a choice how to respond to life, ourselves and others. The book for me personally is also helpful in understanding why we have so many" blow-ups" in our society: mass shootings and other mass rampages that seemingly occur out of the blue. I feel it would be good to have a chapter on effective communications skills and the stumbling blocks that typically hamper good communication. This is the kind of book I have to re visit, it covers a lot of ground.

Great book
