"Read It With Paper and Pen Handy", February 27, 2001
I read "50 ways" and realized that I spent more time imagining and daydreaming how to best use Steven's brilliance, than actually reading it! So when I finished reading it I went back to start over again but this time, with my trusty clipboard, several sheets of clean white paper and my favorite pen. I captured ideas that I could put to use that moment, and for years to come. It's time to do something to strengthen your personal and business relationships whether it's writing a love note to the love of your life, or writing persuasive ad copy that tugs at the heartstrings of your prospects...there will always be a one-to-one connection you have to make. Steven will relax your mind and infuse your thoughts with his gems of knowledge that bursts with creative energy and inciteful answers. It belongs at work as much as it does at home. I personally recommend this amazing and truely necessary work. It's a treasure you'll hate to lend out, so buy an extra copy. Thank you Steven. Nelson J. Vega

More IS more!, October 20, 2000
By A Customer
This is one great read! This is the longer (read, "bigger and better") version of the author's audiobook "35 Ways to Create Great Relationships." And while it's hard to believe that the book could be any better than the tape, this time bigger really IS better. Like the audio, this is no step-by-step list of specific actions to take to create or improve your relationships. Rather, this author suggests how you might want to adjust yourself-and nobody else--and in so doing create your own attitude that will foster great, fun, happy relationships with others. And who wouldn't want that? As we've seen in his three previous books, Steve Chandler is hip, funny, understanding--and right on the mark. He's knocking on our door, calling us to pay attention to each other, to ourselves, urging us try it, we WILL like it. And have fun doing it. With observations running the gamut from "intention deficit disorder" to basketball coach Phil Jackson's attitude toward coaching his championship players, Chandler has a great time gently, relentlessly, humorously reminding us that the success of our relationships--how we deal with people--is all about US. It's in our hands. And we can change those relationships any time we want (it's not that hard) if we'll just pay attention to what the heck we're doing! An excellent read, one that makes you feel good about yourself--even while you're becoming energized to improve!
