"This crazy redhead is on to something. Her pink Rambler
story alone is worth the price of the book." — Elmore
Leonard "Amy Alkon is intellectually
promiscuous—and funny as hell." — Paleopsychologist
Howard Bloom, author of The Lucifer Principle Has the
land of the free now become the land of the free to be rude?
The guy next to you is blasting his music so loudly
through his headset, you can hear too. You've just
encountered a rude person, oblivious to the world around
him. Wish you could do something about it? You can, says
award-winning syndicated columnist Amy Alkon, whose
hilarious stories of her in-your-face encounters with rude
people and businesses will inspire you to stand up to the
ones in your own world. Alkon not only confronts the
offenders, but she digs into anthropology to figure out why
we're rude and what we have to do to change all intruding,
shoving, and shouting. She goes after:
•Lax
parents
•Internet bullies
•Rude
drivers
•Negligent
businesses
•Telemarketing
executives
•Car thieves
•Parking space
hogs
•That loud guy in the drugstore line
In
I See Rude People, Alkon gives you the tools you need
to confront these abusers and restore common courtesy,
respect, and good manners to society . . . one chastened
cell phone shouter at a time. Amy Alkon writes the
advice column The Advice Goddess. She has been featured in
the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, the Wall
Street Journal, Glamour, and Psychology Today and
has appeared on "Good Morning America," "The Today Show,"
NPR, CNN, MTV, "PoliticallyIncorrect," and "Nightline." She
blogs daily at advicegoddess.com, can be found on Twitter at
amyalkon, and lives in California.
