Wie man ein Stachelschwein umarmt

Most of us know someone who, for whatever reason, seems to stir up conflict or cause trouble on a regular basis. Often these people are part of our daily lives. The truth is that these troublemakers didn't necessarily ask to be the way they are. And the good news is: dealing with them can be learned.

How to Hug a Porcupine explains that making peace with others is not as difficult or impossible as we think - especially if you can use an endearing animal analogy and apply it to real-life problems. Whether you want to calm the prickles of parents, children, siblings or strangers, this book gives you useful tips for your encounters with "prickly" people.

With a foreword by the well-known psychotherapist Dr Debbie Ellis, the widow of Dr Albert Ellis.
