"This book was suggested as a book club pick several years ago. We didn't end up reading it but it pique my interest. Which is one thing I love about book clubs, I'm pretty sure I would never of picked this book up on my own since I thought the title sounded manipulative. But for the most part it wasn"t and I really enjoyed this book. I discovered and started applying (sometimes rediscovered and reasserted efforts to apply) many true principles about how to get along with others mostly based on things like being considerate, respectful, kind, a good listener etc... Don't we all need to be better at those kind of things? Wouldn't the world be better if we each actually took some conscientious effort to be better at those kind of things? So another example of don't judge a book by it's cover (or title in this case)."
