Rating: Summary: A must have for EVERYONE! Review: This is a long over due book. It very well should have been put together as an addition to the bible because its filled with rules and techniques we should all practice and live by. If your trying to find that perfect gift for ANYONE...this is it. Information inside will NEVER outdate and if everyone who reads it practices "schmoooze" the world will be a far better place!
Rating: Summary: Very Helpful Review: This was an insight giving book that has helped me crawl out of my shell. Specifically, this book allowed me to see a socially adept person from the inside out, instead of just from the outside.(About half the book was what I would have called "how to live" rather than "how to schmooze". I didn't value that part highly. Still, the half that wasn't a surprise more than made up.)
Rating: Summary: A Solid Effort! Review: Whether you're trying to close the sale, woo the girl, or just strike up a conversation, nothing works better than simply making the other person feel great. Author Aye Jaye describes his techniques for doing just that, by bestowing compliments, planning surprises and doling out gifts. The Schmooze is effective at everything from improving your standing with your boss, to getting a better hotel room or talking your way out of a speeding ticket. The book is written in an easy-to-read style, which very much expresses Aye Jaye's own personality, as if he is schmoozing the reader, too. And therein lies the only problem. Some of Jaye's favorite lines seem long and hokey, and some of the suggestions he offers - like sliding a waiter a dollar bill at the start of a meal while saying, "You are number one with me and there's more coming at the end of dinner." - bring to mind another Yiddish word, "Schmuck." But you needn't resort to such extreme schmoozing, and we [...] recommend that you read this book for its original take on the power and method of the world's oldest business technique. But please, tone it down.

Rating: Summary: Open more doors and get results. Review: You will get more than you bargained for in this book. I wish every socially handicapped person in the world reads this..life would be great. I tried some of these techniques and got results. The author speaks from personal experience..and straight from the heart. This type of reading could very well change your life....for the better.
