Mean People Suck is a informative and interesting book. We all have to face mean people and the author offers some good advice. Well written.

This was a well organized group of ideas and real life stories that really illustrated the author’s point that mean people suck. While it was the title that piqued my interest in this book, it was the writing style and clear and concise prose that kept my attention and made this a wonderful read!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
Mean People Suck! And there are plenty around. It only takes one in a workplace to make life difficult. This is a great book for business purposes but also for life in general. The examples and tips in this book would be very beneficial to any management level employee who wants to create a better workplace environment and have happy internal and external customers.

Mean people suck! This book showed so many examples of how and why they do in the workplace. As a practice manager, I requested this book to see if it would give me any insight on how to better myself in my position in the work field. I wasn't disappointed. Brenner gives some great examples on how empathy can create a better working environment in even just the slightest forms. He creates graphs and diagrams to further help his examples and enlighten people. His many years of experience, in many different areas of the work field, only profited his research. I would recommend this to anyone in a leadership role in the workplace.

Empathy is something everybody is talking about. How to is the question? Good examples and practical advice application of empathy in life and work. The book is engaging and easy to ready. My favorite part was comparison of a hero journey and Pixar story telling. Very well structured and I'd recommend to read to everyone who is looking to see how empathy can be applied in business and life situations.
