Publisher Description
Innovative and refreshing strategies for how to love, understand, and communicate with difficult people—at home, at work, and in your community
Most of us know someone who, for whatever reason, always seems to cause problems, irritate others, or incite conflict. Often, these people are a part of our daily lives. The truth is that these troublemakers haven’t necessarily asked to be this way. Sometimes we need to learn new approaches to deal with people who are harder to get along with or love.
How to Hug a Porcupine explains that making peace with others isn’t as tough or terrible as we think it is—especially when you can use an adorable animal analogy and apply it to real-life problems. Whether you want to calm the quills of parents, children, siblings, or strangers, How to Hug a Porcupine provides useful tips for your encounters with “prickly” people, such as:
• Three easy ways to end an argument
• How to spot the porcupine in others
• How to spot the porcupine in ourselves
With a foreword by noted psychotherapist Dr. Debbie Ellis, widow of Dr. Albert Ellis, How to Hug a Porcupine is a truly special book.
Customer Reviews
Not worth the read
The book only teaches you to be quiet and allow “porcupine people” to step over you to keep the peace.
Not a book
This read like it was a poorly written brochure. There were typos, and it did not feel like a legitimate book. Do not waste your time or money on this.
Cute book
Cute analogy, but only offers up general tips. This reader prefers concrete examples over general tips and advice, to help those who have a hard time figuring out what to say or do in a critical moment. Not that I am looking for a script to follow - a written scenario just helps inspire me on how to handle the situation.
