Reviews" Our New World of Adult Bullies is timely! Anyone can be bullied. Bill Eddy explains not only the damaging toxicity and effects of bullying but the psychological understanding of how to stop it. Poignant examples, from history and everyday life, bring it home. This book empowers and offers solutions instead of reactions. Much needed in a time of great divide and polarization." --Karyl Mcbride, Ph.D., author of Will the Drama Ever End? Untangling and Healing from the Harmful Effects of Parental Narcissism

SynopsisAdult 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., Our New World of Adult Bullies connects the dots to show how bullies at all levels of society follow the same predictable patterns of behavior. Bullies exist everywhere: families, workplaces, neighborhoods and communities, politics and government, and organizations of all types and sizes. And in a media landscape where conflict, crisis, chaos, and fear reign supreme, every day we see the worst behavior of celebrities, politicians, and other public figures who serve as role models. Winners and losers. Friends and enemies. Heroes and villains. People with high-conflict personalities think almost solely in these extremes. They regularly express unmanaged emotions, routinely blame others, and do harmful things that 90% of people would never do. Bullies share these characteristics, plus a drive to dominate or destroy their victims. But all bullies act in the same highly predictable patterns, regardless of their demographics and situation. By focusing on the ten hidden powers bullies employ--from their unrestrained nature and bully story to manipulating emotions and playing the victim--Bill Eddy unpacks the way bullies rely on primitive emotions and nonverbal behavior. He helps readers spot these behaviors and offers practical actions before they become immobilized by helplessness, blame, and shame. In today's world, we all may have an adult bully in our lives sooner or later. For anyone who has a bully in their life now, for professionals who counsel victims of bullying, and for anyone who is concerned about the fraying of our culture and society, this book gives effective strategies to prevent bullies from taking over. Eddy's six-step approach includes useful advice on how to: Recognize the patterns of bully behavior Pull the plug on the bully's story Set limits with credible threats Impose serious consequences Communicate effectively about bullies to others Stand strong with others against bullies Our New World of Adult Bullies takes a closer look at the dangerous behavior of bullies and how to stop the behavior before it starts., Our New World of Adult Bullies connects the dots to show how bullies at all levels of society follow the same predictable patterns of behavior.
