Summary: A light in the darkness
Comment: This book is absolutely brilliant. I am in the process of recovering from a horrendous experience of bullying in the workplace, in my case in one of the so-called caring professions; where it appears that in some places bullying is allowed to thrive unchecked. This book has proved to be a light in the darkness to me, it is practical and insightful, and more than anything, validates my experience. It has been so comforting to realise that I am not alone in my feelings, and that I have not failed somehow as a person. This book has helped me to recognise that the manager who exhibited bullying behaviour towards me may have a borderline sociopathic personality tendency. I wish that society in general had a better comprehension of the insidious and profoundly damaging nature of bullying in the workplace; too many people seem to believe that bullying only happens in the school playground, or that it is a form of management technique. My experience of workplace bullying has destroyed, possibly permanently,my future prospects within a career which I loved, is likely to cost me my home, and has had an ongoing detrimental effect upon my physical and mental health. I regard this book as a Godsend to anyone suffering from bullying in their workplace. The advice and insights within are so helpful that I believe the material could be used in schools in order to educate the workforce of the future, and hopefully reduce the likelihood of others being damaged by this awful experience.

Summary: Best book on bullying available
Comment: Tim Fields book is absolutely excellent and I have used it on numerous occasions for clients who are being bullied at work. I work as an Executive Business and Life Coach and work with clients in the health arena. The many clients I have worked with who have been bullied, this book gives them insight and hope and reassurance they are not mad but being violated and abused at work.
The clients who are stressed out, burnt out and bullied out have their "eureka moment" once they get through the first few chapters, seeing the shift and refocus is truly humbling as a health professional of many years.
There are a number of books out there on workplace bullying but this one is the rolls royce and continues to be so. The website is also an extraordinary support for those recovering and those enabling others to move forward and regain their personal power.
Tims analysis of the actual bully and behaviours is spot on, the cause is multifacted and clearly identifed in the book - a gift for anyone who has been bullied and for their loved ones who are sometimes the forgotten carers.

Summary: EXCELLENT BOOK
Comment: Our department functioned really well until a new chief executive was appointed and within a short time things turned for the worse. A week or so after telling her secretary that she felt like smashing her face in for her, the CEO arrived to work with a black eye and a swollen face covered in a medical pad. She was absolutely raging mad. She summonsed the personnel officer to her office and blamed the injuries, which she had incurred in her own home the previous evening, on her secretary. Could things get worse? Yes...this was just the beginning... the secretary was sent to another area of the department to work in an office junior position, then it was my turn. After being seriously overloaded by this woman, who insisted that I was related to Paula Radcliffe because I was toned (which clearly aggravated this very un-toned woman), I was criticised without foundation. I went off with stress, totally confused about the situation and I spoke with a Clinical Psychologist who said that what was happening in the department was "bullying", by a person who, from my description of her behaviour, likely had a serious behaviour problem. I then set about and purchased this brilliant book, and could not believe that our positive working environment had been turned for the worse by the text book bullying that I read about. After highlighting this behaviour to our personnel officer, who relayed it back to the CEO, I was then sent to another area of the department and denied a job for a year... by this time I was finding the behaviour fascinating and I was just there for the ride of the experience until I was squeezed out of the department altogether (on the grounds of my job being made redundant after moving a friend and colleague into it!)... It was interesting and reaffirming when I met a senior officer from the department who said that I, and named others, were "targets" of the CEO.
A staffing survey was undertaken at that time and the guy who undertook it met with me and thanked me for being so brave in detailing to him what was happening... he said that from the responses he had had that it was evident that the department had a serious case of bullying, but would be unable to name the bully in his report in case I took a case out against her! Funny how that survey was buried on the grounds that there were not enough responses... clearly there were enough responses for the guy to ascertain the problem.
The bullying goes on to this day in various guises but, as described in the book, people are too scared to do anything. I recently purchased this book for an x colleague who is confused by what is happening to them... Again, this book will do the explaining! Thank you.

Summary: A MOST BRILLIANT/VALUABLE BOOK OUT!
Comment: This book is the most valuable, helpful book out that I have read. I have read it three times over, because I just find it so interesting to re-read the things I have learnt from the book which are so invaluable.
It definitely is an eye-opener to show you you are not imagining it & exactly what Bullying is about and how to spot it. I saw my Bully Director Boss through this book through & though!!!!!
I would recommend this book to anyone 100% going through similar circumstances.
