2.0 out of 5 stars Simple Truths: Yes. Surprising Insights: No., March 1, 1998

By	[e-mail] (California) - See all my reviews

This book is not bad, but it's not great, not by a long shot. The advice in the book is, by the author's own admission, a lot of common sense. I kept digging for those great insights into meeting people but I didn't find any that really grabbed me.

The book consists of nearly blank pages with one "simple truth" or "surprising insight" to a page. I wish I could say that I found myself going "Wow!" or "Aha!" but that didn't happen once. Instead I found myself wondering if you could fit all these not-terribly-brilliant insights onto a pack of cigarettes.

Although the author does elaborate on some of his suggestions, most of them are rather pithy and self-apparent. There seems to be a trend for this kind of thing-short pithy sayings or expressions-but usually they give some pause for reflection. The only thing that this book got me reflecting about was how it got published.

That said, if you are really socially inept-and aren't we all sometimes-this book might help but don't expect it to change your social life overnight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful!, November 29, 1999

By A Customer

This book is not gimmicky, nor does it give flirtatious suggestions. Because of its brevity, you can find quick ideas. I especially love #5 Never do anything at home that you can do in a park. I know that one works; that is how I met my husband! I love this book as gifts for divorces, people new in town, kids off to college. It's amazing how many concepts in this little book have big messages for so many age groups. My niece likes to add names of people and places to the pages to help her carry out the activity. What a great format. Inexpensive, too.

This book will provide you with ideas on how to change your social life and start meeting people. There is nothing earth shattering in this book but, if you are motivated and willing to change you lifestyle, this book will help you meet people. It helped me tremendously.
