The CD was very easy listening. Most of the CD/book spent time explaining tools you may already understand, but may not know how to use. The books is helpful to anyone just starting their career and have to work in a large office space. The hooks and types of people at work were very interesting. I thought the explanation of how to handle the siuation when a peer announces your idea as their own during a meeting to be pretty helpful. This actually does happen quite a bit, especially in the consulting areas.

Crowley and Elster have written a refreshing and extremely helpful book on how to deal with problem people and situations. The book focuses on work relationships, but I found it very useful dealing with people in all walks of life, including my family. I have the Hardcover and Audio versions and use both. I recommended the book or audio version (Audible.com) to anyone who has a problem with work relationships or any other relationship. This is a perfect book to give a graduating Seniors or College students as they get ready to join the business world. It is a must read for everyone in business!
