    The asshole survival guide

    Robert I. Sutton · 2017

    Sutton starts with diagnosis: what kind of asshole problem, exactly, are you dealing with? From there, he provides field-tested, evidence-based, and sometimes surprising strategies for dealing with assholes-- avoiding them, outwitting them, disarming them, sending them packing, and developing protective psychological armor. By helping you develop an outlook and personal plan that will help you preserve the sanity in your work life, Sutton also help you prevent all those perfectly good days from being ruined by some jerk.

      There's literally a whole book by a Stanford biz school professor about this exact subject.

      One of my pet favorite tips: pretend you're a research psychologist observing a patient with a rare mental disorder (doesn't solve all of the problems, but at least helps to cope).
