The Power of Charm: How to Win Anyone Over in Any Situation
$15.00
I ran across this book in my company's library and was a little surprised to find it there. It was a quick read and I must admit that I did indeed find it quite charming.

Most of us feel that we are decent conversationalists and think that we generally leave a positive impression on the people we meet. This book helps to explain why some people are so more pleasant to be around than others. It breaks the art of being charming into its various components. Each one is easily recognized and the stories and examples strike a chord... yes, charming people are that way for a reason. The best part is that charm is something that can be cultivated (I always thought that either one had it or not -- sort of like class?) According to Mr. Tracy, all it takes is a little practice and conscious effort.

I jotted down a few of his observations concerning attentive listening, proper eye contact, when to smile, etc., and plan to use them on my friends, family and business associates. I think that his suggestions, if followed, will indeed make me a better, more charming individual, and who doesn't want that!

Lastly, I do recognize that his formulaic approach is by no means new. As others have written, these ideas repeat similar points made my Napoleon Hill, Norman V. Peale and many others. Nevertheless, I always find it refreshing to be reminded of the simple ways that we can improve our lives. They worked then, they work now.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to increase their charm factor.
