"My life would be so much better if they weren't in it." If you find yourself thinking this a lot, chances are you're dealing with a particularly difficult person who has made it their life's mission to bother you. While you'd think that getting rid of that one person will solve all your problems, you'll most likely encounter someone else just like them sometime in the future. 

Difficult people are everywhere, and there's no escaping them. Thinking that you can get rid of people you dislike is just wishful thinking. After all, can you really get rid of your boss or your in-laws?

Instead of avoiding them or cutting them out of your life, changing your approach to dealing with difficult people is the correct way to go about this problem. However, this book doesn't guarantee that you'll never have a problem with a difficult person again. On the contrary, life's problems, arguments, and disputes are quite inevitable. You're bound to come across people who disagree with you and have no room for personal growth. At this point, instead of getting frustrated, you should opt for healthy ways to deal with such people, which is what this book is all about.
