However, there was enough good stuff in there to leave me feeling that it was well worth the read.Yeh i understand what you mean stan...but did you try it first. i thought like you and i tried it on random people and they love it...they love you and they dont even no why.My reading the book pre-dated me going self-employed so I puts bits of it to use in my non business life. Although bits seemed too work OK, I sometimes felt like a phoney. Maybe I should have applied it for longer. I had concerns about whether it was right or not to be manipulative. Perhaps if I had continued, it would have become more part of me and felt more natural eventually. I stopped practising it because I hit some bad problems in my life and I put the shutters up for a while in order to self protect. Perhaps it's time for me to get another copy (the old one disappeared years ago) and re-read. Hopefully I have enough maturity these days to not misuse the info within.I think it might be worth another read for you then i read dale carnegies twice but i still need to read it agin cos my concentration span isnt great so it doesnt all sink in...id rather watch the movie lol. The one im sending everyone is napoleon hills think and grow rich its slightly different a bit more entertaining cos napoleons a bit eccentric but funny. send me ur email and ill send it you.Me too thanks mate! daverileyelectrical@googlemail.com
