" This book could have been half as long as it really was. The idea of networking is great but it cannot be taught. It is good to hear stories and see examples but you are your only teacher. If people don't like you then it is pretty hard to apply anything this book shows. "

— Brian, 2/7/2008 -
" Simple and easy-to-read advice on networking. More proof that the old cliche of "It's not what you know, it's who you know" holds true. "

" Great book for learning how to build and maintain your network of friends and colleagues. "

" Easy read with lots of great insights. Takes the whole networking concept and puts a more altruistic spin on it re: what you can do for others, not what they can do for you. "
— Lisa, 2/5/2006 -
