My guest is the legendary author of the wildly popular book Dealing With People You Can’t Stand, which has now been published in at least 27 languages. Dr. Rick Kirschner is happily retired nowadays, so he rarely has to deal with such people anymore. For my part, I’m simply thrilled he came out of retirement to join us on this episode.

But hey…we all indeed know people who bore us to death with their stuff, always talk about themselves, only contact us when they need something, and/or always attempt to play oneupmanship with us.

Then there are the legions of people nowadays who never follow through on what they say they’re going to do, the ones who talk behind our back, fake people, people who try to undermine us, people who run ‘game’ on us, and who try to proselytize us to their MLM downlines.

And then, of course, there are always the women who drive us nuts, but we’re hot for them anyway. Well, not only has Dr. Kirschner thought through the answers to virtually all of these social dilemmas, his ideas–including his ‘lens of understanding’–are decidedly out-of-the-box and probably NOT what you think they’ll be.

Plan on emerging from this episode with a new measure of wisdom and maturity, along with a treasure trove of practical steps, each sure to win over some of the folks you typically lock horns with…all the while earning the respect and admiration of everyone else.
