I love this book. Marianna Csoti is Godsent,
By Jennifer Smith (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Be a People Person (Paperback)
This book has helped me a lot. Having had a pretty isolated and difficult childhood and adolescence, I'd grown into an adult desperate to be accepted and yet isolated, unable to communicate effectively or be assertive. I simply didn't know how. Since reading this book, I've come to understand how to change from being passive to being assertive, and when to be aggressive. My fear of being isolated made me afraid to assert myself, to speak up. I stuttered, spoke hesitantly, head-bent... It was terrific to see all my behaviour described by a total stranger - so precisely - in this book! And to have passages and passages on how to fix it. I didn't even know there was a term for my behaviour ('passive' / 'passive-aggressive'). To know that there was a way forward...! It was very reassuring. 'How to be a people person helped me understand the methods people use to get what they want and how to win their respect and appreciation (and how to protect myself from bullying). I was refused promotion because of my inability to assert myself and to lead a team. Heck, as the book says, inability to communicate effectively is the biggest problem of the passive mind. The book tells me how to correct that and I think Marianna Csoti is one cool and fabulous human being for taking the time to write down her excellent tips. I'm applying them daily and feel really so much liberated and sure of myself where-ever the leaves may fall. I am me and proud to be...everyday. There's still a lot of work to do on me, but this book has given me a wonderful headstart

Top advice that anyone can use and understand,
By Delia (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Be a People Person (Paperback)
I bought this book for my students who work with people and encounter many of the scenarios that the author highlights.
It was not only a fantastic reference for so many situations, both common and uncommon, but also very accessible. There is less of the academic language and more of the down to earth language that people can relate to on a day to day basis. This book is both practical and accessible to all, whatever you think your people skills are already.

Lovely secret santa gift for some one in the office who has problems with people skills,
By
This review is from: How to Be a People Person (Paperback)
I gave this as a secret Santa gift to some one in the office who was making my life a misery! Let me tell you that she was extremely embarrassed when she opened it up, however she has made marked improvements in the way she goes about speaking to people in the office.
Every one else in the office has also seen the improvements and have told me what an appropriate gift it was for her (since every one found out it was me who gave it).
