"This is an extremely interesting and timely analysis. Who hasn’t been the victim of a bully at one time or another? When you think you’ve left something like this in your past, all of a sudden you are confronted with it again – only this time it’s an adult supervisor or colleague in the work environment. I’m not a psychologist but this book helped me with understanding the 'why' of this terrible behavior." -- Stewart C. Ross, Executive Director, Southeast Business Forums, LLC
