I was dumbfounded when I first saw the title of this book.  I’ve been a consultant for years and have seen firsthand workplace mobbing.  I didn’t know there was actually a name for it until I came across this book.If you (or a loved one) are currently (or ever have been) in a situation in the workplace where you feel intimidated, trapped, hunted or in any way uncomfortable due to the actions (and in some cases non actions) of co-workers towards you -  I urge you to read this book.I think to someone on the outside looking in, it is easy to think the person telling you about the harassment /belittling/tormenting is either imagining it or blowing small things out of proportion.  Unfortunately that is probably not the case.  Workplace mobbing is a well- kept secret and I’ve seen first –hand, more than once, HR participating in the mobbing.The author tackles this well hidden workplace nightmare and walks us through what it is, what to do (what not to do), what can trigger anxiety even after leaving the workplace, how to move on, how to cope and much more.He also lists numerous resources.I found this book very well thought out.  I think if you’ve ever been the target of workplace mobbing- this book will give you hope and also, possibly most important, this book will help you understand that 1) you are not blowing something out of proportion 2) it is okay to feel the way you do at this time 3) someone else understands exactly what you are going through.Excellent read.
