New Book: "It's All YOUR Fault!"

IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT! 12 Tips for Managing People Who Blame Others For Everything is hot off the press and now in our hands. It’s my new book loaded with practical methods for handling High Conflict People (HCPs) in any setting, including neighbor disputes, workplace conflicts, family battles, with strangers, etc. HCPs target those close to them and people in positions of authority, so in this book Bill Eddy focuses on what to do when YOU are the Target of Blame — and how to avoid (or prevent) being one for long. It is organized around 12 key Tips (5 Do’s and 7 Don’ts), which simplify large concepts into small, easy-to-remember phrases when you’re under the stress of a high conflict dispute.

This is the book for the general public, so you can give it to anyone.

The book goes beyond the information in previous books, which focused primarily on HCPs in legal settings. Explains the four most common High Conflict Personalities, with an emphasis on understanding their High Conflict Thinking—and why it is so contagious. Numerous examples — some real, some fictional — to demonstrate the very predictable dynamics of pathologicals in high conflict disputes.

High Conflict People seem to be increasing in today’s conflicts worldwide. As Eddy says: “The issue’s not the issue; the High Conflict Personality is the issue.”
