The Bully at Work: What You Can Do To Stop the Hurt and Reclaim Your Dignity On the job
If you want to learn about the phenomenon of workplace bullying which has become an epidemic in recent years, get this book right now. Bullying at work involves pre-mediated, repeated, malicious mistreatment of one employee by one or more employees. This mistreatment is a sort of psychological violence. Its purpose is to steal all that the target has and the bully envies. It prevents the target from getting his/her work done. The workplace bully abuses power, causes misery to his/her target and endeavors hard to steal the target's self-confidence, perceptions of self- competence and goodness. Gradually, bully involves others in this hateful campaign against the target. Bullies use many tactics such as blaming for errors, unreasonable work demands, insults and putdowns, exclusion, stealing credit, threatening job loss, criticism of ability, and discounting of accomplishments. The book discusses types of bullies. It also includes discussion on who bullies choose for targets. Targets are genuinely bright, creative, dedicated, and self-assured individuals. Since they pose a threat to the bully, the bully works hard to undermine them. As a result of bullying, the targets might experience fear, shame, humiliation, and loss of dignity and it can impact their physical health, mental health and productivity at work.
I recommend this book to every individual in American workforce. It is an eye opener. I also recommend that you visit Namie website, Workplace Bullying and Trauma Institute [bullyinginstitute. Org]. I really am grateful to Gary Namie and Ruth Namie for witting such a masterpiece on the topic of workplace bullying. It can save lives and careers.
Definitive advice for workplace bullying targets January 24, 2010

The Bully at Work (2009 edition) is a significant update of a pathbreaking book. Although written specifically for targets of bullying, it will be useful to managers, human resource officers, union leaders, lawyers, mental health providers, researchers, and educators in any field involving employment relations. This is the book I recommend to people when they contact me for guidance and assistance about bullying situations they are facing at work.
My recommendation of this book is concededly far from objective. I have worked with the Namies for over a decade to advance legal protections for targets of severe workplace bullying, and they are both friends and partners. Our working alliance has flourished in large part because I regard them as North America's foremost experts on the impact of workplace bullying and what individuals and organizations can do to respond to these destructive behaviors.
Great Book, a real help December 5, 2009

Essential book for understanding bullying at work May 22, 2010
BeenInAction (United States)
The Namies have done extensive research both quantitative and qualitative to come up with a book that explains what workplace bullying is, how to recognize what is happening if you are a target, how to recognize a bully if you are a witness to it, and how to cope with it safely. My friend committed suicide as a result of workplace bullying. This book, in an earlier edition, helped me understand what happened to her and why. The new version is even more thorough, as more research has been done. The similarities between bullying and domestic violence, harassment, and other forms of trauma are explained. You aren't alone, and if you are a target, this book will help you. I also recommend visiting the WBI website.
