Real Psychology 101 (Gas City, Indiana) November 26, 2004 - 5.0/5 stars
Forget the Psychology you learned in college, don't be drawn in by the
mushiness of Dr. Phil's advice. How to Win Friends and Influence People,
gives excellent insight into what makes other people tick, and more
importantly it reminds us why we tick.
The advice is not complicated, but
it does require practice and review. The best thing about the book is that
it is full of advice that we already know, but just don't practice.
A good
portion of the book centers on putting yourself in someone else's shoes
and seeing it from their perspective.
It talks about how must people
consider themselves to be honest hard working people no matter how bad or
negatively society views them.
It speaks about how important it is
to allow people to save face in confrontations, what it means to have good
manners, and a no nonsense approach to what motivates people.
The
information in the book is timeless and tested.
It is useful not only for
business, but even in your personal relationships, because it focuses on
improving the communication channels between people.
Arguments: Of
all of the aspects of the book, the section on arguments and confrontation
holds the most value.
Essential the books says that you never really when
an argument, because even if you are right, the other party is going to be
injured, always allow the other party to save face says the book.
One of
the most important single paragraphs in the book is when confronted with
an argument or confrontation say, "I maybe be wrong because I frequently
am, let's exam the facts." I cannot count the times this has cooled a
heated discussion, chiefly because it removes any hostile edge the other
party may have about you.
You can't go wrong with this book.
