This book is a mirror that reveals the human side of jealousy and a compass for navigating the difficult roads of envy. Success requires more than learning how to achieve. You must also learn how to handle what achievement attracts. One of the things success attracts is jealousy. What happens when your success changes the way people treat you?What do you do when friends become distant, colleagues become competitive, people begin to gossip, or someone tries to damage your reputation behind your back? How do you recognize jealousy without becoming suspicious of everyone? And most importantly, how do you respond to hostility without becoming hostile yourself?People rarely envy what they believe has no value. Jealousy often focuses on something desirable. Your progress, opportunities, relationships, confidence, recognition, influence, or success can sometimes remind another person of what they believe is missing from their own life.Sometimes jealousy is obvious. Other times, it hides behind jokes, gossip, backhanded compliments, destructive criticism, unhealthy competition, sudden distance, passive-aggressive behavior, or attempts to minimize your achievements.In more serious situations, people may go into rooms before you and attempt to shape how others see you. They may create stories without evidence, spread incomplete versions of events, turn personal dislike into professional advice, or quietly try to damage your reputation. You may never know every conversation that has taken place.So how do you respond?In How to Deal with Jealous People, Peter Adeleke explores the psychology of jealousy and envy while offering practical lessons for navigating difficult people and complicated relationships.
