Don't Let Jerks Get The Best Of You Advice For Dealing With Difficult People 16 reviews
Paul Meier
Thomas Nelson, 1995
read with some objectivity in its context please!
As an evangelical Christian, there gets to be a point where I do not understand the constant criticism leveled at people like Paul Meier who truly want to help people, but are made to look as though we are all part of a holy conspiracy and damn all those who disagree with us, or for that matter that we are all religious salesmen looking to further our own interests. That is not the case here with ...

Never Call Them Jerks 8 reviews
Arthur Paul Boers
Alban Inst, 1999
most fun and easiest text book i've ever read.
Boers' book was on the elective booklist for a course toward my Master's in Dispute Resolution. The book was fun to read, and it offered so much informtion and experience, but from a different angle and with a unique voice which goes a bit against the grain of that which is somewhat the standard for MDR text books. Boers is very straightforward and uses humor appropriately, and he gives the ...

St. Martin's Griffin, 1996
DISARMING THE ThE Passive - Agressive
I was loaned this book by my child's therapist - her recommendation. I've had it a week - couldn't put it down long enough to order my own copy. It's definitely a solid book for anyone dealing with someone with passive aggression and/or self-centered ex's. There are techniques used that can be used for the children who are also being affected. In a week, I've learned how to rebut the accusations ...

How to Avoid Falling in Love with a Jerk 20 reviews
John Van Epp
McGraw-Hill, 2008
Very helpful
I thought this book would be funny because the title is kind of funny. But it's actually a much more substantive relationship book than I expected -- I was pleasantly suprised and so happy that I picked it up. John Van Epp's take on love and trust made me think about the choices that I've in a whole new way. I highly recommend this book.

Jerk from Jamaica: Barbecue Caribbean Style6 reviews
Helen Willinsky
Ten Speed Press, 2007
It Jerk Mon
When we went to Jamaica in '05 for the first time, we broke out of the all-inclusive, rented a driver and took a day trip long the north coast. We had our first meat patties and stopped at the driver's favorite jerk stand and had our first real jerk chicken washed down with Red Stripe.
When we cook out of this book, every recipe takes us back. We brought Helen's first book back with us from ...

The Jerk (Fotonovel)143 reviews
Steve Martin, Carl Gottlieb, ...
Warner Books, 1979
Still hilarious after all this time
I'd forgotten how funny this one was, and how the comedies of the 70s and 80s were some of the best. Steve Martin is at the peak of his comedic form here, playing Navin Johnson, who is so stupid he doesn't even realize he's not a black person. Bernadette Peters gets to show off her vocal skills and comedic talent too, as Navin's lover, Marie.
Navin goes through a period of his life working ...

All Men Are Jerks - Until Proven Otherwise: A Woman's Guide to Understanding Men28 reviews
Daylle Deanna Schwartz
Adams Media, 1999
What a great book!!!
I really enjoyed this book! I can see how it could be considered a little over-the-top, but I agree with a lot of what it says. It is very useful. It tells you the things your friends don't want to, because they don't want to hurt your feelings. I benefitted from this book, and the friends I have recommended it to have thanked me. :) Also, it's fun to read. Go buy it today!!

Ditch That Jerk : Dealing With Men Who Control and Hurt Women15 reviews
Pamela Jayne M.A.
Hunter House, 2000
Read it before you leave, and if you already have
An invaluable manual for how to get out of an abusive relationship and how to break the ties afterwards. I also recommend it for women who are looking for a serious relationship and for young teens. There are definite red flags to look for BEFORE you become involved with someone.

Obnoxious Jerks, The4 reviews
Stephen Manes
Starfire, 1990
Too bad high school wasn't never this much fun.
If there was any book that should never have gone out of print it was this one. Just thinking about it makes me laugh. Definitely one of the best books ever written. It is perfect for teenagers and those of us older who like to pretend we aren't and just need a good laugh. It captures the high school perfectly and lets us have fun with it.

JERKS AT WORK11 reviews
Ken Lloyd

A Must-Read for Jerks Everywhere
I stumbled across this excellent book while printing copies at Kinko's one day. It was more than just a coincidence with all of the problems I was having at work with micromanagers and their little cohorts.
I thought this book was an excellent guide to the types of jerks at work and ways to deal with them. The one problem I see with this work is that it won't be read by the people who really ...

Very Good
Shark teaches you to BE the man that girls want. Reading this book WILL improve your attitude a lot. This is not your average dating book. Shark does not give you stupid pick-up lines to impress women. Let THEM impress you. It's all about your ATTITUDE. Why do women like jerks? Because jerks give them emotional highs. Girls are addicted to jerks. The average male is boring and gives all his ...

Speaking Ill of the Dead: Jerks in Montana History1 review
Dave Walter, Salina Davis, ...
TwoDot, 2000
somewhat interesting, but not as good as expected
You will be repeled by some of the subjects in this book and bored by others. This is a collection of essays by different authors, each proceded by a summary. Sometimes the summary would have been enough and the actual essay could have been skipped. I kept "wanting more" for each jerk covered.

A Jerk on One End: Reflections of a Mediocre Fisherman6 reviews
Robert Hughes
Random House UK, 2000
Very Short, Very Smart, Very Funny.........
As an artist, I've found inspiration time and again in Robert Hughes'books and the American Visions series. As a third-generation Floridian growing up on the Hillsborough River, I instinctively came by an appreciation of both the mystique of the water and the way fishing linked me to it. As a mostly-vegetarian who still succumbs to seafood, I feel some sense of guilt and sadness for the ...

Jerk: Barbecue from Jamaica5 reviews
Helen Willinsky
Crossing Press, 1990
This is a "use it" cookbook !!
I have tried at least 10 of the receipes in this book and find it very hard to move on to others. The ones that I have tried are always repeated in some cases many times over. The Dry Jerk seasoning is a staple which I have prepared and given as gifts in fancy found jars (page 16). "Wid It" is a special treat that is a must. My all time favorite "Jerked Spareribs", that I place in a platter, cut ...

The Real Jerk: New Caribbean Cuisine4 reviews
Lily Pottinger, Ed Pottinger
Arsenal Pulp Press, 2002
Food So Good it'll Curl Your Toes
The other day I went through my cookbooks, to see if I could weed some out, because I have too many to mention. It's hard getting rid of a cookbook, especially one with a few recipes in it that you've come to love. But I've scanned the recipes I need to keep forever into my MacBook. However, there were an even dozen I couldn't part with. These are books I turn to time and time again, even though ...
