The No Asshole Rule

Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't

By: Robert I. Sutton PhD

Narrated by: Robert I. Sutton PhD

The definitive guide to working with -- and surviving -- bullies, creeps, jerks, tyrants, tormentors, despots, backstabbers, egomaniacs, and all the other assholes who do their best to destroy you at work.

"What an asshole!"

How many times have you said that about someone at work? You're not alone! In this groundbreaking book, Stanford University professor Robert I. Sutton builds on his acclaimed Harvard Business Review article to show you the best ways to deal with assholes...and why they can be so destructive to your company. Practical, compassionate, and in places downright funny, this guide offers:

• Strategies on how to pinpoint and eliminate negative influences for good
• Illuminating case histories from major organizations
• A self-diagnostic test and a program to identify and keep your own "inner jerk" from coming out
  

The No Asshole Rule is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Business Week bestseller.

I wish it had been read by a professional

At the risk of sounding like an @$$hole, this reading was terrible. I'm certain he's a brilliant man, but his pronunciation is difficult to listen to- "exspecially" when he is emphatic about something, which he seems to be about everything. The tone is overexcited and the text is mediocre.

Oh my God say “expecially” again.

Great book, entertaining, useful. A Stamford PhD should work on refining his language a bit though

Great Listen

Wow What a great book! I work with a verbially abusive person in the office. This book gave me insight into why he acts the way he does. It has helped me realize that his actions arent my fault.

helpful information

This is the first time I have felt compelled to write a review from a book from audible. Thank you ! I love this book, really cuts to the chase and full of clear thinking.

Review of The No Asshole Rule"

Interesting and entertaining. If you work in an office environment - you'll find types you recognize here and it's refreshing to hear them described in context. I enjoyed this.
