review 1: Leil Lowndes provides a series of simple maneuvers anyone can perform to endear themselves to other people. The book spans an array of topics such as handshakes, hugging, exchanging business cards, giving nicknames, how to transition a conversation in another direction, etc. What I grasped from the book is to be considerate of others, notably Lowndes describes a situation when she had to take an early morning flight that was fraught with a series of challenges. The young woman who picked her up from the airport allayed Leil's frustration by asking a set of questions that put herself in her counterparts shoes, endearing a common respect with later grew to a friendship. I'm sure my recap of the story leaves a lot to be desired but by taking a moment to experience things from... more another person's point of view helps to build a bond and anticipate future responses by others.
review 2: The impression left behind is not how manipulative "Little Tricks" are, but rather ways being a nicer person to others by treating them kindly. Unlike "a sage telling people to speak Chinese when in China but not giving language lessons", this book provide the practical lessons to speak the language of kindness to others. Whether paying undivided attention to another or avoiding their babbling, one absolutely must look out to preserve others their esteem in a bit more roundabout way. These Little Tricks are very good and the anecdotes are adorable, too. I wish there are 9600, not just 96 Little Tricks in the bags. less
