"The No A**hole Rule essentially tells from Robert Sutton's perspective, a Stanford PhD. Professor, what the definition of an a**hole is. In his definition, it is essentially someone who, in a workplace, demeans others who are of lower status. My wife purchased a copy; we were dealing with a neighbor who was not the most polite of people and was also dealing with a co-worker who I was not too pleased with, and so I wanted to gain some insights on why he was behaving the way he was. The No A**hole Rule gave me insights into how to deal with the situations that came up. I'd try my best not to be an a**hole, and so -- myself -- and so I don't necessarily understand where those types of people are always coming from. The nutshell answer of why people act like an a**hole, according to Robert Sutton, is just fear of -- it really stems from fear. And it can be upbringing, it can be a lot of different environmental factors, but it's really essentially a fear of losing status and having to assert your own power onto others and doing it in a way that is going to essentially retain your status or enhance your status. I would give four out of five stars. I think that it is -- the reason why I gave it four out of five stars is that it's a great book that I think just about everyone should read, but it's not a perfect book. It does tend to repeat itself towards the end."
