The holidays may bring out the worst in people and turn cheer and good tidings into ‘I saw that first’ and ‘Bah, humbug!’ But this season you don’t have to obtain scrooged by other’s bad behavior. DO NOT GET Scrooged will show you how to prevent, appease, as well as win over the Scrooges who haunt your vacations. Whether it’s the salesclerk who ignores you, the unnaturally irritable manager, or the in-laws who invite themselves to get a two-week stay at your home, you will usually need to deal with Scrooges, grumps, and uninvited guests. Learning to deal with them whenever and wherever they show up is not just optional-it’s essential.

Bestselling author Richard Carlson’s Don’t Get Scrooged gives fifty practical and interesting answers to the problem of Scrooges, in whatever form they take. Through the holidays this season, win the fight against bad behavior-and make your season merry again.
