Our New World Of Adult Bullies: How To Spot Them – How To Stop Them
Bill Eddy, a seasoned social worker, lawyer, and mediator, has dedicated his career to protecting individuals from adult bullies. In his book, Our New World Of Adult Bullies: How To Spot Them – How To Stop Them, he identifies the 10 “superpowers” that bullies use to intimidate and attack their targets, and offers six strategies for fighting back.
Eddy explains how bullies manipulate others subconsciously, using primitive emotional tactics to immobilize victims with blame and shame or mobilize them against the bully’s other targets. Despite their dominating tendencies and lack of internal brakes, bullies are not invincible.
Eddy’s six-step strategy for overcoming bullying tactics includes:
- Recognizing a bully’s pattern
- Interrupting bullying behavior
- Setting clear limits
- Imposing consequences
- Educating others
- Building a support network
By understanding a bully’s predictable behavior and adopting a strategic approach, readers can gain confidence, build alliances, and effectively reduce bullying behavior.
When enough of us recognize these ten powers and learn to use the six strategies, we can stop bullies in their tracks over and over and create a much healthier world — with safe families, workplaces, and communities for us all. I wrote this book because today’s adult bullies use primitive emotional powers to activate fear, rage and loyalty within us without our awareness. But once you know about these powers, you’ll realize they are hidden in plain sight, and you can avoid them or become less susceptible to them.
