Reviews

This is a timely and helpful book on workplace bullying - Amy Gaffin"This is an incredibly helpful volume and is written with such empathy and insight. Everyone from a front-line worker to an HR professional can gain much-needed perspective from Johnson's experiences and her openness. If you have ever found yourself as a target of bullies in the workplace, or have been on a team affected by a workplace bully, you too should read this book."
A must-have employee resource - Carla Demers"This book is an excellent employee resource that takes an enlightening look at bullying. It's particularly credible since the author herself was a victim of workplace bullying. The 8-step process is easy to understand and implement. It stresses the emotional impact and recovery from start to finish."
Great resource when you've experienced bullying at work - The Librarian"My experience left me reeling and unsure what I did wrong and how to move forward. The author's personal stories and willingness to be open and vulnerable helped me see it wasn't my fault and that office bullying is more prevalent than I realized."
Where was this when I was living through it?! A must read! - Molly"This book hits the nail on the head! Toxic environments grow bullies (and even encourages them). So much of this is my story, too. I wish I knew this information when I entered the workforce twenty-five years ago. Might be a good resource for new grads...not to scare people, but to equip them with the knowledge to recognize toxicity and how to navigate through."
A must read! - Amazon CustomerI just ordered this book a few days ago and I can't put it down! The author's writing style is kind and conversational. As I was reading the book, I kept saying to myself 'oh my gosh, yes, I've experienced that too!' This book is a must-read for anyone in the workplace! It brings the topic of workplace bullying into the light and it also provides thoughtful and useful approaches that anyone can use in this type of situation."
Insightful and practical! - Lakisha Murphy"As a union leader who often receives reports of workplace bullying, the author made many great suggestions for navigating such a difficult environment (while in the workplace and outside of it). Her upfront explanation of the types of bullies and how colleagues can even enable the behavior was eye-opening!"
