Disregard the myth of the lone professional “superman” and the rest of our culture’s go-it alone mentality. The real path to success in your work and in your life is through creating an inner circle of “lifeline relationships” – deep, close relationships with a few key trusted individuals who will offer the encouragement, feedback, and generous mutual support every one of us needs to reach our full potential. Whether your dream is to lead a company, be a top producer in your field, overcome the self-destructive habits that hold you back, lose weight or make a difference in the larger world, Who’s Got Your Back will give you the roadmap you’ve been looking for to achieve the success you deserve. Keith Ferrazzi, the internationally renowned thought leader, consultant, and bestselling author of Never Eat Alone, shows us that becoming a winner in any field of endeavor requires a trusted team of advisors who can offer guidance and help to hold us accountable to achieving our goals. It is the reason PH.D candidates have advisor teams, top executives have boards, world class athletes have fitness coaches, and presidents have cabinets. In this step-by-step guide to the powerful principles behind personal growth and change, you’ll learn how to: · Master the mindsets that will help you to build deeper, more trusting “lifeline relationships” · Overcome the career-crippling habits that hold you back, once and for all · Get further, faster by setting goals in a dramatically more powerful way · Use “sparring” as a productive tool to make the decisions that will fuel personal success · Replace the yes men in your life with those who get it and care – and will hold you accountable to achieving your goals · Lower your guard and let others help! None of us can do it alone. We need the perspective and advice of a trusted team. And in Who’s Got Your Back, Keith Ferrazzi shows us how to put our own “dream team” together.

"Outstanding book on forming personal realtionships and creating groups with those relationships to advance one's professional career, personal relationships, raising children and anything else that may stop you from advancing yourself and living a full life. "
— Matt (5 out of 5 stars)
" Well thought out and with lots of clear, actionable advice. A great sequel to Ferrazzi's first book. "
— Brian, 2/18/2014" Love it. It is what I have been putting feet to, and Keith is putting legs to it. "
— Eric, 2/10/2014" Great book & idealogy - we are made to live in relationships. "
— Hank, 2/2/2014" The book provides an overwritten expansion of Napoleon Hill's concept of a Master Mind group. If you've never heard of the concept, not a bad book to start with. His first book, Never Eat Alone, is a much better read and more worthy of your time. "
— John, 1/26/2014" I always heard about "networking" as a means of achieving greater things in my professional life. Keith Ferrazi digs very deep to explore why networks ... and in general people in our lives ... are so important to our happiness and success. "
— Homy, 1/22/2014" Outstanding book on forming personal realtionships and creating groups with those relationships to advance one's professional career, personal relationships, raising children and anything else that may stop you from advancing yourself and living a full life. "
— Matt, 1/11/2014" Ferazzi reminded me that it's important to create and maintain a healthy network of friends and colleagues. Not only can these "advisors" offer wise counsel, they can also run interference, protecting me where I'm vulnerable. "
— Chris, 12/3/2013" Great book, really brought home some points to think about. who to surround yourself with and how a life line network is needed to be successful. Great read, well worth the investment of time. "

— Kim, 11/24/2013" Good advice. Easier to say than do however. "
— Marea, 10/15/2013" If you are a business person this book is one you should read. The other does and amazing job of opening ones eyes to the reality of relationship and how important those relationships are to business and its sucess. "
— Janet, 9/17/2012" This book tries to put a new spin on mastermind groups, but really it's just a re-iteration on stuff that's already out there. I like the way it's presented, but really, it's nothing new. "
— Mike, 9/5/2012" I thought it was redundant, but he does have an engaging writing style. Not enough for me to finish the book though. Also, most of what he was trying to get arcross seemed like common sense. I could be wrong. "
— Hilary, 7/24/2012" was all about creating a group of people to use as a support group etc. was not that crazy about it, but it was good for what it was. "
— Jon, 6/21/2012" Great book - now I have to see if I can put in practice "
— Prashant, 5/8/2012" Good beginning, but way too formal at the end. Not what I expected. "
— Galina, 3/16/2012" I don't have time to finish reading this book right now but I do like the idea behind it - I'll come back to it again sometime when I have more free time and fewer other books that I want to read. "
— Linda, 12/7/2011" very useful in ways to consider networking and coalition-building in an organic and fluid motion rather than the awkwardness of small talk or seeming overtly opportunistic. "
— Andrelgardner, 12/5/2011" I am only reading this one because I have to listen to Keith speach, plus work gave me the book for free. So far its not the type of self help book I read but it's interesting. I finished the book and it was interesting and motivating but really not my type of book. "
— Stephanie, 6/30/2011" I thought it was redundant, but he does have an engaging writing style. Not enough for me to finish the book though. Also, most of what he was trying to get arcross seemed like common sense. I could be wrong. "
