Summary: perfect gift for the grinch on your list, manadatory read US
Review: All of my life I've been shy and have never had the guts to speak up and get what was rightfully mine, though I haven't been able to do 100% of what the author suggests, I daringly had tried 50% and it works, so I will continue with 40% more, as there is 10% where I feel you have to have an over the top personality to venture down those paths. What amazes me most is what I once thought was intrusive or invading, I have now learned can be endearing and welcoming. This book has literally changed my life. If you suffer from this social anemia, get to this book ASAP or give it to somebody like I used to be. Though I am not bold enough to sign this review, I am first now bold enough to have written it! Signed, Schmoozingly coming out!

Summary: A Great Book
Review: Dear Aye Jaye! I whole-heartedly wish to thank you for writing this book! I intend to write you personally also, but wanted to show more people how I feel about your book! I already had a good and pleasant life and found a lot of things in your books that I were already practicing. However, you have given me a deep well of tips and tricks for various occasions. Apart from that it was a very enjoyable book through-and-through. I started out buying the cassette book after having stumbled over it as part of an offer. Since it was abridged I ordered it in paperback too and had even more fun and got even more tips. I'm kind of a Tao guy in many respects. No new age...just plain, simple, everyday logical truths, that's what I want - from somebody who has tried them all out. I am in a new and wonderful relationship and I know now how to make it last this time - through hard work, thoughtfulness and schmoozing! My sound advice to you all is: If you haven't read this book - d o ! Start off easy by buying the cassette book. It's a really easy way to gather these tips and tricks - perhaps in your car on your way to work, etc. Then give it away to somebody you care about (or perhaps to somebody you d o n ' t care about - just to try and make them more likable) and get the paperback for yourself. It's more complete and gives you the lists of tips, tricks, movies and books in print. If you h a v e read it - spread it! Buy several copies and hand them around to friends, relatives, workmates! No, I'm sorry to say I do n o t get a commission...! ;-) If you - which is very unlikely - do not like this book, I bet you can think of somebody who would, or who would need it really bad. Happy schmoozing!

Review: I am fascinated by ‚The Golden Rule of Smoothing'. A real page turner. Aye Jaye wrote a book for everyone. Not only in business but also in many private and personal situation it can make your life easier and more pleasant. The principle of treating other people well is simple. Schmoozing is a buzzword. But to analyse the motivation of schmoozers and to explain the advantages and benefits for your family, business partners, neighbours, etc. is important. The author explains the different kinds of schmoozing and gives a lot of examples and stories. Even if you are familiar with schmoozing, this book will expand your horizon in a funny way. You will gain new ideas concerning various kinds of schmoozing, like schoozing your boss and schmoozing your family. Furthermore, you will read the secrets of name schmoozing and health schmoozing. This book creates a new proactive inner thinking of the reader. It is easy to read, funny, serious and helpful. This book is a must. Buy it!

Summary: It's a quick, warmly funny, inspiring read.
Review: I picked up the book on the whim. I was in an airport and it looked a little more interesting than the spy thillers and the nonsense about UFOS and losing weight. I was very pleasantly surprised. It's actually a very good book. A different point of view very well explained. It's a breezy read that stayed with me. I think about it often and, although this is a cliche and, perhaps a bit of an exageration -- it changed my life -- a least a little.
It's a great book and I'm logging on here to buy a few copies for friends.
I guess I liked it a lot.
Spend a couple of dollars and a couple of hours and make yourself and others a little happier.

Summary: Tips for living well by making the world feel terrific!
Review: I read this book in one sitting! Aye Jaye shares with us all the basic truths to having a great time on Earth, without stepping on any toes. The examples of "schmoozing" he writes about are universal. He hits so close to home I laughed and cried pretty much cover to cover. The history of his life would stand alone as an amazing biography, but Aye Jaye generously uses the "self help" form to show his readers the way to feel the joy of helping others to simply "have a better day". This book should be required reading for anyone in the service buisness, and for anyone who desires to be served...WELL.

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.
