    BIFF - Quick Responses to High Conflict People
    BIFF stands for Brief, Informative, Friendly and Firm.

    It's for work.
    Basically how to deescalate assholes who are looking for a fight.

    That sounds like an interesting, and useful, read. Is it based in real life, or some academicians' hypothesis of what should (might) work?

    Bill Eddy, the guy who wrote it, is a lawyer, therapist, and mediator.
    He uses examples but there is a a lot of jargon.
    It's a short book so it doesn't grind like a lot of them do.
    There is a lot of good ideas for folks that haven't had years of dealing with the public and people with personality disorders.
    I'm not saying there aren't things I can't learn from it, just that it is written more towards people that haven't had my somewhat unique background.

    I'm about halfway through "We Are Legion" (Book 1 in the Bob-Verse.) It's pretty good!
