This book is for everyone who desperately needs to find a way to cope with the jerks, the idiots and the terrible people in our lives. 

The truth is, we’ve all got a little bit of jerk, idiocy and terribleness inside of us. The question is, just how much? Want to find out? Read this book. And maybe the even more important question; when we meet people who have a Chernobyl level of it all pumping through their veins, how are we supposed to deal with them?

This is NOT a book for people who get offended easily. If you want to have some fun by exploring the inner, most dark thoughts we all have in our minds about how to deal with people who drive us crazy… then this book is for you. If you are bothered by those things, it’s probably best if you look for a book about unicorns and rainbows. Yes, you are better than us. 

Have you ever felt yourself secretly wishing that the guy who cut you off in rush hour would spill boiling coffee in his lap and drive into a ditch? At any point in your life do you wonder how your co-worker managed to get the raise you deserved even though they are so obviously unqualified because they can’t even spell their own name correctly? Have you ever been perplexed why there are so many truly terrible people in the world who seem to exist just to mess with you?

Told in a fun, conversational tone, you will gather an understanding of how the world, and humans, have raced to the bottom and how to free yourself from letting these jerks, idiots and terrible people control your life. 

It’s gonna be a fun ride. You in?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Funny Take on Dealing with Toxic People
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2020

This book was written in a fun, conversational style and I read it in one sitting, which is a rarity for me. The whole time I was enjoying the hell out of it and laughing to myself.

It's for anybody who has to deal with jerks, idiots, and terrible people... so all of us.

I am hesitant to call it a self-help book because that feels a little hokey to me, but it really is. And it's a tone that was enjoyable, rather than preachy.

There is some profanity, but I'd say it's an amount that is entertaining, and not distracting. The only thing that put me off a little bit was the frequent lack of an Oxford comma, but I was able to get past that because of the fun content.

I found the book to be refreshing, something I could connect with as a parent, worker, traveler, shopper, neighbor and more. I liked how much ground the book covers, including studies and quick looks at famous as well as everyday people. Ultimately, it forced me to look at myself and my own behavior and attitudes. The authors use appropriate humor throughout in ways that match the distinct aspects of the topics. They gave me practical tips about how to deal with certain kinds of people, including being patient and documenting behavior.

5.0 out of 5 stars Caution: May induce spontaneous laughter
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2020
It’s an inevitable part of life.

We all deal with them…

Jerks!

This book answers the questions: 

-->Why do they exist? 

--> What can be done about them?

--> And, most importantly, how can we make fun of them?



Because we HAVE to laugh about these people. Otherwise, we’ll go insane.



This book is a light-hearted read. It would be a great gift for your office pals or besties. You know, those people who are with you in the trenches of dealing with life’s idiots.

Case in point, I read several passages out loud to my spouse over dinner and we couldn't stop laughing.

4.0 out of 5 stars A field guide to *THOSE* people
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2020
This book catalogues those people in life that can ruin a day or make you lose your faith in humanity. It does it in an honest and humorous way that makes it easy to read and softens the blow if you recognize yourself in some of the idiotic behaviors called out. I learned a few things about myself and some new things to watch out for in others.

It's a good book and a quick read but I wish it had spent as much time with strategies and tactics for dealing with toxic people as it did with listing toxic behaviors. It makes it less a book about dealing with jerks than a guide to identifying them with a few tips for dealing with them at the end.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny Fast Read
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2020
I was going to read a few chapters at a time, but didn’t stop until the end. I found myself nodding in agreement, and I can identify at least one person in every JIT the authors describe. I tend to deal with JITs by ignoring them, or, depending on my mood and the situation, killing them with kindness. It has served me well so far. I appreciate having a lot of my thoughts and feelings in writing so I know I’m not the only one who is annoyed by certain people and their actions! Maybe this makes me a JIT? I would have given this five stars but the typos are keeping me from doing it...

4.0 out of 5 stars Jerks Are Everywhere!
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2020
I had fun reading The Unskippable Handbook For Dealing with JERKS, IDIOTS & TERRIBLE People. All the examples of Jerks, Idiots & Terrible People are right on, for example "Thoughts & Prayers" Politicians. Yes, jerks are everywhere--online dating, shopping, on planes and the terrible boss.
The authors give valuable strategies on how to deal with jerks, and what to do about them. All good advice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Looking for a stuffy boring book to learn how to deal with jerks? This isn't it.
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2020
If you are offended by light-hearted content and foul language it's probably best to move on. If you would like to have some cut to the chase content laced with interesting stories from someone that's been on the receiving end of jerks....this is it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative and Entertaining
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2020
I loved this book. I could relate to the examples of suffering under a jerk boss. I think we can all relate to that chapter. It was a fun, fast, laugh out loud read about a very real problem in our society.
