In fact, sometimes it seems like they’re on a mission to make us miserable! There’s always that one person. The one who hijacks our emotions. The one who seems to thrive on drama. If we could just “fix” that person, everything would be better. But we can’t fix other people. We can only make choices about ourselves.

The Stoic Challenge, then, is the ultimate guide to improving your quality of life through tactics developed by ancient Stoics, from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca to Epictetus.

Story
S.U.M.O. stands for Shut Up, Move On. It's a phrase to say to ourselves (and sometimes others) when we are acting or thinking in a way that is hindering our ability to succeed. It doesn't necessarily mean "get over it" or "pull yourself together" (although there may be occasions when both responses are necessary): "Shut Up" means stop what you're doing, take time out to reflect, let go of baggage and beliefs that hinder your potential; "Move On" means tomorrow can be different from today, look for new possibilities, don't just think about it, take action.

Very Good Book
I plan a second listening as I’m not always an active listener. This book has many good tips for dealing with difficult people. Body language, listening actively, responding in the i narrative instead of the you are some examples. I would have liked to have had an expanded chapter on impossible people. I work with one who doesn’t confront most of the time, but constantly looks for faults and perceived mistakes and runs to the big boss to bitch and moan about everything under the sun. I really don’t know the complete number of people who have quit because of this indirect bullying. The sad part is the big boss goes along totally. I would have liked more input on dealing with drama queens who put every soap opera to shame. Little problems most people resolve with little thought become huge deals. I plan a second listen while dog walking. Right now the only resolution to my current situation is to walk away. Tolerating toxic and impossible people is why employers in the industry can’t recruit or retain. You can’t please an impossible person. Listen or read this book. It’s useful.

Best book o dealing with people
I read many books in similar subject in sociology and personal development but this book is the best one. it teaches you all you need to deal with difficult person. Many books just provide a story parallel to the subject and does not give you the right tools and techniques to solve the problem. This book clearly identifies the problem, difficult people and how to handles them. If you have same situation or you want or you just want to improve your social skills please read this book, you will love it. It will arm you with right tools to handle narcist and difficult people.
