'This meticulously researched book... puts into plain language an undeniable fact: the modern workplace is beset with assholes... Sure to generate discussion around watercoolers' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 'The definitive guide to understanding, counteracting, and not becoming an asshole. I am qualified to make this judgment because (a) I've been an asshole a few times and (b) been a victim of assholes more than a few times' GUY KAWASAKI

4.0 out of 5 stars Good ideas and well written, 27 Feb 2007
By Stephen Folan (Middlesex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It is a combination of case-study, anecdote, psychology and sociology that builds on the idea of a workplace of mutual respect and extends it to the organisation, the boss, your colleagues, clients and yourself. There are plenty of funny and not-so-funny observations in this and it provides some insightful ways of surviving these toxic situations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Winner From Sutton, 5 Mar 2007
By B. Witlin (Menlo Park, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I admit it. I am a huge Sutton fan. I really enjoyed Weird Ideas that Work, and I think he outdid himself with the No A**hole Rule. This entertaining quick-read packs a good punch with a great balance of case studies and theory on jerks in the workplace. It kept me on the edge of my seat as I was able to finish this one in one sitting. The content of this book is topical to anyone in the workforce. Sutton (to my knowledge) is the first to address the issues discussed head on with excellent examples and candid advice.

Bob writes a lot on this topic in his Blog (which is very entertaining). If you want to take an Bob Sutton's A**hole self examination, you've got to take a stroll over to Guy Kawasaki's Blog and take the test.

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book is a Keeper!, 6 Mar 2007
By M. Dearing "reader and gardener" (Palo Alto, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sutton gets it just right in this highly entertaining and relevant book. We all know people like those described in the book. And coping with them - or better yet keeping them out of our work lives - is a problem worth solving. It's nice to see someone in academia who embraces the practical concerns of real-life managers. Sutton's blend of case studies and thoughtful analysis is like a tonic for the spirit of those of us who have endured the sphincterage of terrible colleagues. You might wish that Sutton had written this book a while ago. Do your children a favor and save a copy for them. They'll need it.
