But what distinguishes Ferrazzi's approach from other networking strategies is the emphasis on helping others so they might help you. It's not enough to ask a favor when you need one.

"Business book about relationships and success. At times it almost came across as manipulative, though I don't think the author intended that. I think he really was sincere, but the reader needs to be careful to keep the proper intentions as well. Good ideas in the book, for both self-employed and corporate employed alike."
— Christy (4 out of 5 stars)

" An enjoyable book filled with insight for network building and development. "
— Steve, 2/9/2014 -
" I couldn't finish this book. I dreaded going to sleep each night because I *had* to read another chapter from this book before turning out the light. It's just not that interesting. Yeah, I get the point that you need to network to get ahead, but seriously, this guy is *way* too aggressive for my career choice. I don't really want to be CEO of my company, so I don't really feel the need to network with people for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When do you get to have some time for yourself and your family? "
— Shelli, 2/8/2014 -
" Useful information for anyone looking to expand your circle of influence, for whatever reason - new career, new job, new social circle, etc. None of it is brain surgery, but can be just the thing some people need to get started down a new path. The author's style seemed a little obnoxious at times, but like all books of this genre, the best path is probably to treat it like a buffet: take what works for you, take a few chances and try a few new things that initially make you wince, and leave the rest behind. "
— Leslie, 2/7/2014 -

" Ferrazzi's thesis is that networking is important. But we already knew that. He then goes on to share a few nuggets of knowledge, which get watered down by the repetitive nature of his examples. "
— Vaughn, 10/27/2013 -

" Very interesting book. Learned some really great time to help in my professional and personal life. "
— Jill, 3/14/2013 -
" If you don't take anything else from this book, take just this one piece of advice. When networking, instead of thinking what the person can do for you, turn it around and think what you can do for this person. Makes the connection much more genuine even without you trying. "
— Ash, 3/2/2013 -
" Ferrazzi has a lot of good advice in this book, but after awhile it became redundant. Guess he wanted to beat home the point that making connections is well worth it. "
— Helene, 1/16/2013 -
