- How to get everyone to want to be around you, with one word
No matter who you are or what profession you're in, The Art of People will show you how to charm and win over anyone.

This book is plain English advice on how to communicate and connect with people. I have learnt so much about myself and how I can make small changes to improve. I've even spoken to the author about the book. I'm going to purchase his other book next. Five stars !
