Passive Aggressive: Living With Passive Aggressive Behavior ~ An Easy to Follow Step-by-Step Guide to Help You Cope With Hidden Aggression Paperback – February 10, 2015

This book is a great introduction to the subject, and full of checklists, exercises and suggestions to help deal with a passive-aggressive person in your life, or your own tendencies. Personally, I only know a couple of people who have this problem strongly, but even the best of us "quiet types" may resort to this behavior at times, and this helped me take a fresh look at how I cope with frustration and anger. The most surprising and satisfying thing in this book are the simple, clear suggestions for dealing with the behavior in others and ourselves. Obviously, they aren't an overnight cure-all, but can over time change the dynamic of a relationship, building trust and taking off the pressure to hide feelings. I've seen it happen. The downside of this book: it is in BAD need of a few more proof-readings. Some of the sentences are nearly incomprehensible. "We have already established how to recognize passive aggressive behavior now we will and to self diagnose that you may be dealing with a passive aggressive person." What? Anyway, I appreciate the book and will probably refer to it again. Good stuff.

Informative and when I shared with my therapist she ordered one for herself…

Just a very simple intro to PA. If you want someone who doesn't read much to get an introduction, this is the book. If you really want a lot of information on the subject get a different one. This seems to be a short e-book that is printed when you order it.

I am very happy to have come across this book, as it seems to speak to me. It explains, in detail, deep roots to where my passive aggressive behavior came from. Just a note, some people who are passive aggressive will have to come face to face with the truth this book provides. A lot of truth is in this book. It is a must read for anyone who is or deals with someone who is passive aggressive.

great read

Passive-agressive people are hard to deal with. They seem to have a smart devil inside them. You have to know how to approach them without disturbing them. This book gave me great tips!

This book starts with a story to make the topic of passive aggressive more understandable instead of going straight to concepts and theories. It made the topic easier to relate to as we are all familiar with the stories used. I love the steps it enumerated on dealing with the behaviour and eventually improving the lives of the people affected with it.

Helpful

This is very poorly written, with bad grammar and spelling errors in many places and I don't just mean American ways of spelling some words. It has obviously not been proof-read. I had wanted to pass it on to a friend but I felt too ashamed to. I will search for something better. I know it is only cheap, and you get what you pay for, so some people may be quite happy with it.CL in the north
