Synopsis

Most of people think it is acceptable to be an effective complainer,but have no idea of the methods to cultivate these skills. When I start the journey of complaining, the same problems met with me. With the passage of time, through some attempts and misunderstanding, the complaining skills of mine have been improved and advanced. In the beginning, I always adopt these skills to tackle my problems in daily life and the process of consumption. This book is the first step towards the right direction, helpful for people who would like to finish the task as a toolbox. It is time returned the old fame to complaining, which was and is very useful way to conduct a communication.

Review

“Excellent for all disgruntled souls out there.” ―Library Journal

“Kicking and screaming not doing the trick? Try a complaint sandwich!” ―Elle

“The Squeaky Wheel is wonderful, loaded with psychological insights and practical tips to help us deal with life's annoyances. It's also laugh-out-loud fun to read!” ―Rita Emmett, author of The Procrastinator's Handbook

“Competent complainers are made, not born. With Dr. Guy Winch as a ‘complaining coach,' readers can master this elusive but essential skill, so central to self-assertion and finding one's adult voice.” ―Jeanne Safer, Ph.D., author of The Normal One

“Americans spend an amazing amount of their time complaining – yet are usually no good at it. The Squeaky Wheel will show you how to complain in a constructive manner. You won't demand your money back!” ―Gregg Easterbrook, author, Sonic Boom

“The Squeaky Wheel is a great read! Smart, funny and full of practical advice. I loved learning ‘complaining skills.'” ―Esther Perel, author of Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence

“Guy Winch has brought a new twist to complaints that I've never seen in thirty years in the field. He clearly outlines--using entertaining stories--new methods and benefits for both consumers and those dealing with complaints. This is the most stimulating contribution to the field in a decade.” ―John Goodman, vice chairman, TARP Worldwide

“The Squeaky Wheel offers the best ways to complain without, well, complaining.” ―Women's Day

“Not only does Winch provide the recipe for "a complaint sandwich," (a novel, step-by-step process for complaining, using the parts of a sandwich that correspond to the components of a complaint), but he also focus on effectively interacting with loved ones, customer service reps, and our communities. His conversational tone is infused with humor, making his first book a thoroughly enjoyable read.” ―Publishers Weekly
