"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME?" We've all had friendships that have gone bad. Whether it
takes the form of a simple yet inexplicable estrangement or
a devastating betrayal, a failed friendship can make your
life miserable, threaten your success at work or school, and
even undermine your romantic relationships. Finally
there is help. In When Friendship Hurts, Jan Yager,
recognized internationally as a leading expert on
friendship, explores what causes friendships to falter and
explains how to mend them -- or end them. In this
straightforward, illuminating book filled with dozens of
quizzes and real-life examples, Yager covers all the bases,
including: The twenty-one types of negative friends -- a rogues'
gallery featuring such familiar types as the Blood-sucker,
the Fault-finder, the Promise Breaker, and the Copycat How to recognize destructive friends as well as how to find
ideal ones The e-mail effect -- how electronic communication has
changed friendships for both the better and the worse The misuse of friendship at work -- how to deal with a
co-worker's lies, deceit, or attempts at revenge How to stop obsessing about a failed friendship And much more The first highly prescriptive book to focus on the
complexities of friendship, When Friendship Hurts
demonstrates how, why, and when to let go of bad friends and
how to develop the positive friendships that enrich our
lives on every level. For everyone who has ever wondered
about friends who betray, hurt, or reject them, this
authoritative book provides invaluable insights and advice
to resolve the problem once and for all.
