5.0 out of 5 stars I AM IN L.O.V.E. WITH THIS BOOK!, April 17, 2002

This review is from: How to Get People to Do Things (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is a god-send. It tells you everything about how to relate to people. I thought it was going to be a book on how to manipulate people. But it turns out that its premise is "To The Degree That You Give Others What They Need, They Will Give You What You Need." This book is about giving, unconditionally.

It teaches you (and it teaches very well) "How To Make Love" to the souls and spirits of people. The principles of giving others appreciation, approval and acceptance are invaluable attributes that we all should adopt. I cannot give enough praise to this book.

I started talking about this book to my minister, and he asked for a consultation "from me." He wanted to know how to give the people what they need. This book is like a bible. It must be read over and over until its lessons and advice becomes a part of your life.

I read about 5 to 10 books per year, and of all the books that I have read in my 40 plus years, this is the only book that I will share with every leader that I know.

Moreover, if everyone on the planet read this book, there would be heaven on earth. It ranks up there with the Qur'an in its teachings on spiritual resurrection. It really makes you fall in love with life and with the potential in people.

Thank you Mr. Conklin for having a hand in making me a better person :^); for God speaks through you, and you are gracing us all by putting HIS words into this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK AND THE ADVENTURES IN ADDITUDES PROGRAM MADE ME A BETTER PERSON WITH A MORE PEACEFUL LIFE!!!, December 19, 2009

This review is from: How to Get People to Do Things (Mass Market Paperback)

I'm so VERY excited to find this book!!! I went through the Adventures in Attitudes program many years ago, and this program was one of the major turning points in my life. It has helped me to be a more positive, tolerant, and loving person through all of my life experiences. I have experienced many challenges and tragedies in my life (as most of us do), and I have remained a very kind and caring person through it all. I'm not saying that I'm perfect; I'm just saying that I believe I've remained a more caring and compassionate person because of this book and this program. I'm going to buy this book for my daughter and many other people that I care about, and I sincerely hope it will help them as it has helped me. I strongly recommend this book to everyone on earth that wants to live a happier, healthier, and more content life...

I think I have read almost all of Bob Conklin's books but this is his most popular and for good reason. The wisdom is a compilation of a lifetime of management and organizational leadership that made Bob Conklin a giant among the men I have known in my lifetime. Don't miss out on this book.
