As I mentioned earlier in the week, the Italian version of The No Asshole Rule is about to be published. It is called Il Metodo Antistronzi, which means — according to this comment on WordReference.com’s forum— something like "The Anti-Asshole Method." My Italian publisher has not only translated book, they have also translated our ARSEMail tool, which at least in English, allows the sender to either apologize for acting like and asshole or to offer sympathy to a victim. It is called MailAntistronzi; if you speak Italian, let me know if it makes sense to you!

Hello,
I’ve just finished the french version, it is really a good book for management!
Antistronzi is anticon but i prefer Sale con!
When do you republish the book on innovation?
Sincerely

Yes, it does make sense in Italian. I can’t wait to buy the book. Then I’ll just have to find another job (hopefully abroad): the job market in Italy is still and too full of “stronzi”, especially in the marketing field.

Yes, it does make sense in italian, but the english version is more fun (esp. the inner jerk one). It is hard to make the world assholeproof: assholes are so ingenious!

Yes, it makes sense but due to intrinsic differences between english and italian, where english is less ambiguous, in italian it could be rendered harsh or mild.
The italian publisher decided to render it “quite” mild.
I’ve got both version and the english one is much more straight forward.
Cheers.
