Review:I bought it on sale for a buck and regret it. These gimmicks won't help your social skills unless you are seriously inept. Staring at a girl constantly or pretending to do acrobatic moves everytime you enter a room will only make people think you are a creep or on drugs. One positive is that a lot of psychological studies are referenced, so it might be worth an hour long skim through. Read more
Review:Great second edition with updated model - the skills work anywhere - professional or personal. I give this book and Crucial Conversations to anyone I know graduating from high school or college - wish I'd known all of this when I was that age! Read more

Ironically, Pink uses many analytics to justify active exercise of right-brain senses to accompany typical left-brain dominance. Get ready to realize what you don't know! Read more

Review:This is an outstanding book for validating introverts. I've searched for years looking for answers concerning issues I've had. This book wraps things up in a very nice package for explaining how and why. I am disappointed at the title as many others seem to be in these reviews. In other words - Where's the advantage? I understand why I do things now and I can work better with my extrovert co-workers, and understand they're side. Before it seemed more of a shot from the hip and no thought ot... Read more
