this book was decent. it did have some funny stuff in it. but, i think being funny always helps ease situations where your uncomfortable in mingling. its worth it for some of the tips it gave. but, some or outdated/corny that you would look stupid nowdays if you used them. so, dont take everything verbatum

This book could really be for anyone, if one uses the techniques and examples with a little bit of creativity. I am a college student striding both business and social worlds ... Read More
