I just posted a while ago that I'm currently reading "People Skills for Life" by Allan and Barbara Pease but here I am - all done and ready to blog about it! I'm no speed reader (but my husband is) but this book is so engaging and easy to read that it took me just an hour or two to finish.
"People Skills for Life" is for everyone who wonders how Sanguines do what they do best - be a people person. I am a natural Melancholic, shy and reserved, and I find it hard to relate to people, much more talk to them. But reality hits us hard that we are interdependent on one another, we can't really close ourselves to society. "People Skills for Life" gives you a blow by blow on practical techniques to develop that habit of going out of your shell.
A combination of common day-to-day examples and psychology will give you an overview of why we are what we are - and what we can do about it. It's not necessarily hypnotizing ourselves to be a different person, but in fact, teaches us on how to cope with the need to communicate and build rapport with others - a much needed trait for all of us working in the corporate world, or raising a family, or dealing with clients.
Allan and Barbara Pease gives simple and practical steps that are useful in achieving good people skills that will last for life.
