Summary: another rubber book from Weber . . .
Comment: Let's be honest...

Actually, I kind of like this little book, for the little that it offers. At one perosnal/social level, it has a lot going for it for its sincerity. I have a place for it in my Valentine's Day book shelf.

However, all the niceties protrayed herein aren't worth two cents, and can be heartbreaking, or even dangerous if you haven't cultivated any rational social power and community image at large, in order to back it up. Take it from one who has spent much time at parties and in bars with varying degrees of success using approaches like this one: you may garner some pleasant experiences, but overall you could be gathering some warfare to yourself from people who don't mind being jealous or vicious enough to attack or make a fool out of someone who is just trying to be nice, entertaining, and trying to get on a pleasant level with people in their social lives.

Being nice, sensitive, and aware isn't enough. Put some power behind all this, and avoid disappointment. 'The power of the press belongs to him that owns one,' and your social image and personal/social power will come about, by being strong and tough enough to rationally cultivate it, while having all that vulnerable, dangerous social 'fun.'

Social interaction is valuable. Learn how to not screw it up. Others less 'enlightened' will be there to sabotage it, unless you protect its growing branches from birth.

For more on these matters, see my review for one of Eric's other dangerous and poorly thought out books, 'How To Pick Up Women.' My review is entitled, 'how to pick up airheads and all the wrong attention.'

Summary: Great resource guide for relationship and personal woes
Comment: Whenever I need a boost of confidence, someone to tell me what's going wrong(with myself or with a relationship, I consult this book. It uses a good balance of praise and criticism, sometimes funny and insightful, sometimes tough and harsh, to get through to its readers. Well it always gets through to me, and I'm sure it'll get through to you as well. The information is not just for guys either, and it's not just for relationship troubles; rather, if you're just a shy person who has a hard time meeting new friends and even approaching people who you think might be interesting, take this book in hand and read it cover-to-cover. I'm sure you'll find it as important a book as I do.
