Who doesn’t want to know how to manage the other idiots better? Or at least not murder them. This is the office survival guide I wish I’d read when I first started work. It’s never too late to be a jerk whisperer. Essential reading. ― Viv Groskop, author of How to Own the Room

This book provides the key to working smarter, better and happier, no matter who you’re working with. ― Nir Eyal, author of Hooked and Indistractable

Most of your happiness at work is based on personal relationships. Being able to manage those relationships when things get difficult is key to your success at work – and in life. Jerks at Work is a practical and engaging set of tools. Buy it. ― Scott Galloway, author of The Four

Reading Jerks at Work is like listening to a real person who is smart, warm, and funny, and who I’d like to have a glass of wine with. That’s unusual for any business or self-help author to achieve-from a scientist it’s practically a miracle. This book basically has it all. I’m going to make it mandatory reading for everyone on my team. We all need this book. ― Heidi Grant, PhD, author of Nine Things Successful People Do Differently
