The Anti-Bulling Store is based on the work of the late Dr. George Thompson, who had studied methods to prevent and de-escalate conflict for over 27 years, published four books (with over 300,000 copies sold) and trained more than 1 million people throughout the world. In 2009, a major effort was undertaken to apply Dr. Thompson’s methodologies to the problem of bullying — which resulted in the formation of the Anti-Bully Store.
Dr. Thompson’s work can be summarized by his Five Universal Truths of Human Interaction — that all people want to be:
- Treated with dignity and respect
- Asked rather than told to do something
- Told why they are being asked
- Offered options rather than threats
- Given a second chance
