Summary: a good self-help book
Review: If you want to read more self-help books but you're tired of the same old put-on-a-happy-face drivel, this may be the book for you. The main theme of the book is this: keep a list of names, addresses, and phone numbers of people you meet and stay in touch with them. Moreover, do occasional favors for them because you might someday need favors FROM them.The book is interesting. It is liberally dosed with anecdotes and second-person pronouns--two factors which help greatly in making a book interesting. However, I'm ashamed that I haven't put the book into better practice. In response to the book, I made an e-mail mailing list of people whom I know and sent them an annual newsletter--except that I skipped last year because I didn't have anything to say. I hope you read this book, and I hope you put it into practice better than I have.

Summary: It opened that inner door.
Review: It opened that inner door to the resistence that I have always had in wanting a two way network. I was more than will to give but not to ask. Harvey helped me to understand that people really do want an interactive interchange to feel comfortable. Let me hear from you. Dr. G.

Summary: A Must For Career Seekers
Review: Mr. McKay's book is full of good practical advice on how to use networking to get ahead. I have read other networking how to books, and his is the best by far. Much of what he talks about is just plain commonsense, but I was surprised by the other techniques he mentioned.

Summary: Networking is simply too important to be ignored!
Review: Networking is just so important both in your business and social life, and it is highlighted time and again in the book. Being well 'Networked' may give you access to priviledged information in important situations, and might be the key to saving you from a crisis situation. This book describes all aspect of networking, and most importantly, explains how to apply it with some examples. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: I'd rate this book a 6, if they'd let me!
Review: Should be required reading for every person of high school age or older. I give this book as a gift every chance I get, and if there is someone in your life who you want to give something that will last a lifetime, this is it... Absolutely one of the best life-skills books ever written.

Summary: Navigating the Modern World
Review: The author suggests that we are all well educated , well read or perhaps we are not well educated or well read. In any case to survive in this world , we need friends , we need contacts , we need a network. We have to keep building this as we meander along in life. Serendipity is not the way to this , rather a systematic approach can be adopted. One should not be out on a limb without friends when one is out of a job, or sick or lonely. One should know or know of the best doctor in town for cancer , paediatric problems,heart diesease - this should not hit us when we need it and have no time to find out. This is how the author sees the world and in his very simple and effective manner , rich with real world examples he shows why this is necessary and how to do it. Harvey Mackay did not get where he did without having a deep well to draw from , from envelope manufacturer to a respected US celebrity , he has scaled the Mt Everest of achievement and in this book this absolutely delightful and generous person shares his insights. I cannot tell how empowered one feels after reading this book , but can definitely say that I wish I had read it a lot earlier.
