Date: 07 2, 2013
In this book, Jack offers practical advice in a number of areas that can be applied immediately to help you live better and be more successful in whatever you do. He offers tips for negotiation that can aid anyone from a child bartering with his lunch at school to executives with armies of lawyers at their sides. The social interaction principles contained in this book should be taught in every high-school!Do you want to learn to interact with people in a more rewarding manner? Do you want to learn to find out what people want or need and help them in a mutually beneficial manner? If so, you owe it to yourself to pick up this book.The writing style is very personable and conversational. It flows well and draws you in. Stories and specific examples are used to illustrate many of the points and they aren't to detailed or drawn out. The book itself isn't very long, but there is still a ton of good information conveyed in those (~37) pages.This book needs a good going over by a decent copy-editor. There were grammatical errors throughout. It wasn't so bad that the book was unreadable or confusing, but it did distract from the otherwise excellent content. Also, the photos need to be properly formatted. Each photo was stuck to the top of the page on the kindle without any other text below despite lot's of white space. Again, not a big deal, but unprofessional.Highly recommended for:- Anyone who wants to learn more about down-to-earth, applied economics- Anyone who wants to learn to negotiate more effectively- Anyone who wants a fun look at what is possible in a barter economyIf you enjoyed this book want another book with specific advice on making sure you have the lightest and most efficient BOB possible, I recommendUltralight Survival: Make a Small and Light Bug Out Bag That Could Save Your Life.
