Lahoue writes with an upbeat and engaging voice, clear command of his material, and manifest conviction. (He) shrewdly emphasizes the positive aspects of addressing uncomfortable situations... and there's clear wisdom in his suggestion that readers handle conflict with an "empathic approach" but "a firm conclusion. He presents the material with a fresh spin and a coach's warmth, and he draws upon the experience of his own life and of people he knows for unique examples. The author is admirably committed to crafting original metaphors. -Book Life

This book is well written and well research by someone who obviously cares about this subject, and I'm certain many will find it very useful. It's very comprehensive, and most importantly: It's PRACTICAL and not filled with theories.

I give workshops and occasionally I cover topics to help people find their “voice.” You can’t find your voice if you are not clear on your attitudes and beliefs and are not comfortable expressing them.

What does this have to do with Deal With It! How to Stop Running from People, Problems, and Pressure?

First, as many people who have difficulty speaking up can tell you, people can and will fill in your silence with their own narrative for you. When this happens, a state of imbalance is achieved, frequently leading to unsatisfying outcomes. Whether you’re driven to not speak up due to a desire to keep the peace or due to a faulty idea you have less value, you’ve only accomplished failure to establish and maintain healthy boundaries at your own expense. Chapters one and two quite nicely cover the topics of finding your voice and becoming more assertive. The simplicity and sequential structuring of these chapters is much appreciated.

Clarity is a principle player in finding your voice. It also plays a principle role in character, accountability and resilience. These topics are covered in chapters three and four of the book.

Finally, creating balanced interpersonal relationships and leadership skills as they relate to dealing with adversity and confrontation are expertly detailed in chapters five through seven.

I enjoyed the simplicity of this book and the sequential format. It’s easy to read and packed with plentiful practical tips and insights for personal development.

It is an essay about a very important topic that we face in everyday life. Whenever we face a challenge we try to ignore it or manage it impulsively.
Daily life brings multiple situation where we need to face people face to face during a confontration
This book tells about various things that we can do when situation gets tough and we face a daunting confrontation with our boss, wife, friend, enemy or system. It is very helpful and gives detailed explanation of various situations and appropriate response. A useful read based on psychology of masses.
It is repetitive at few places but overall good educational package which leaves impression on reader.
