Book Review: The Power of Charm

The Power of Charm, How to win anyone over in any situation, by Brian Tracy and Ron Arden

This short read is somewhat repetitive, but has a few main points we can all learn to make us more charming:

1. Improve your listening skills. Look and face directly at the person, concentrate on what they are saying, and engage them in further conversation about their point.

2. Be free with your praise - give compliments! Catch them in the act of doing things right.

3. Smile!

4. Forget about yourself. Focus on the other person.

It's an age old recipe found in an unlikely place:

In lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Phil 2:3b & 4
