Doesn't work as an audiobook

What did you like best about A Guide to Coping with Difficult People at Work? What did you like least?

I think the author meant for you to find your situation and read that particular one. When you listen to many situations (mean people, tricky people, depressed people, loud people, etc.), 90% of the words sounds exactly the same. It seemed like there were only 2-3 sentences that were different between the various scenarios.

There didn't seem to be many stories. I have the book Coping with Difficult People (different author) and that one is filled with stories and interesting descriptions of your co-workers (snipers, sherman tanks, exploders, etc.)

There are 3 chapters in this audiobook. I have only listened to the first chapter and can do no more...

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Add some stories. The first chapter is just generalizations. and general advise about being respectful and careful in your communications. (examples would be helpful and make it less boring.)

Do you think A Guide to Coping with Difficult People at Work needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

no

Not Very Useful & a Waste of Time

Would you try another book from Good Guide Publishing and/or the narrator?

No, not unless it was on accident.

Has A Guide to Coping with Difficult People at Work turned you off from other books in this genre?

Yes most definitely. It has made me question all audiobooks offered by Audible.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Of course it had a few good points but spent much of the time talking about coping with difficult coworkers not management/boss or clients. It repeated much of the same information over and over. I felt as if the book could have been better accomplished in 20 minutes not 2+ hours.
