Summary Of The Book

Skill With People is designed to help readers learn to effectively communicate whatever they have in mind, and hence build their relationships both on a personal and professional level. This is essentially a manual that teaches its readers how to get people to listen, how to influence others and how to improve business relations.

The book concentrates on the one underlying tenet that is true of all people, that is the fact that people are only interested in themselves.
