Adult Bullies, once kept to the fringes of society, are now everywhere in today's world. They show up in families, at work, in communities, online, and even in politics and between nations, emboldened by the rise of high-emotion media and its ability to promote bullies faster than ever. It's easy to dismiss bullies as jerks, hateful, or evil, but only by understanding how their personalities work can we effectively intervene with adult bullying behavior. Don't be judgmental; be strategic. Therapist, lawyer, mediator, and personality expert Bill Eddy explains how bullies manipulate us beneath our conscious awareness by using primitive emotional powers to immobilize us with blame and shame, or mobilize us against their other targets, the same as they tried when we were young. With sharp analysis of today's current events and drawing on his forty years of experience studying bullies, Eddy explains the way bullies employ the ten hidden powers of, an unrestrained personality, three primitive emotions, surprise attacks, the three-part bully's story, making things personal, emotional repetition, negative advocates, polarization, the bully leader, projection and playing the victim, The truth is that all adult bullies-from the abusive spouse to the toxic boss to the online troll to the murderous dictator-share a predictable, personality-based pattern of aggressive behavior, regardless of their demographics and situation. They are driven to dominate others, and they lack the internal brakes to stop themselves. But that doesn't mean they are unstoppable. Our New World of Adult Bullies provides a six-step strategy to overcome bullies' powers by recognizing a bully's patterns, pulling the plug on their behavior, setting limits, imposing consequences, and educating and standing with others. We all can gain confidence and allies in decreasing bullying.
