it was ok

This was about two things that don't interest me. At the time, I picked it up for the business perspective but I don't think I ever finished it.

*****

2/5/2017

That sounds so anti-social I want to briefly annotate. I favor an alternative philosophy of being genuine. You will likely yield fewer friends of higher quality and perhaps be less successful but I think it will ultimately result in a higher quality of life.

Other than that, this book does have practical advice on business etiquette.

Janie C. I liked this review better without the addendum.


11811 (Eleven) Now that it's there I think I'll leave it but if you can ignore it I'm cool with that. I try to refrain from editing reviews but sometimes it happens.

Good review--I think I'll skip the book, though ;)


11811 (Eleven) I think you'd hate it.

I prefer being anti-social--except when it comes to Goodreads. ;)

Ivan Perevezentsev Absolutely, the quality of friends is what's matter, not quantity.
