Con

I've just read a great book called "The No Asshole Rule: building a civilised workplace and surviving one that isn't" by Robert Sutton. It was great! Instructive, entertaining and useful considering my past experiences. I hope to put it to use in the future when dealing with people and also to avoid becoming one myself! Even if you're not working, it's useful for everyday life.

The title in French is "Objectif Zéro-sale-con : Petit guide de survie face aux connards, despotes, enflures, harceleurs, trous du cul et autres personnes nuisibles qui sévissent au travail "

The "Asshole" word can be difficult for French people because you mustn't put an "H" at the start, but in the middle. It's not Hass-ole! Go on, try it! I'll test you on it when I get back!
