Arroe Collins Like It's Live

When we think of bullies, most of us think of aggressive kids or teens who terrorize individuals they perceive as weaker. Yet, bullying isn’t relegated just to the schoolyard. On the contrary, adult bullies exist everywhere and run rampant in many families, workplaces, neighborhoods, political arenas, and organizations of all types and sizes. And in a media landscape where conflict, chaos, and fear reign supreme, we witness celebrities, politicians, and other public figures exhibiting some of the most egregious behavior. In Our New World of Adult Bullies: How to Spot Them, How to Stop Them, Bill Eddy — therapist, lawyer, mediator, and personality expert — reveals how adult bullies have infiltrated every aspect of our society and explains why we so often allow them to operate unchallenged. Whether they are feeding our primitive fears, manipulating our empathetic emotions, or intimidating us with their unrestrained personalities, adult bullies are highly effective at dominating others in nearly every arena of our lives. But, as Eddy demonstrates in his book, these seemingly indomitable traits don’t make a bully unstoppable. Drawing on forty years of experience helping people resist, defuse, and repel adult bullies, Eddy offers proven techniques to help us prevent bullies from taking over. Using a six-step approach that is effective in all circumstances, Eddy helps readers recognize the bully’s pattern, pull the plug on bad behavior, set limits, impose consequences, educate those around them, and stand with others who oppose bullying conduct. Offering invaluable insight into the behavior of adult bullies, their supporters, and our impulses, Our New World of Adult Bullies is an essential guide for those seeking to decrease bullying behavior and gain allies in their professional and personal lives.
