Getting along well with others is the real secret to success and
happiness. In tens of thousands of classrooms we teach reading, writing,
and arithmetic and yet we leave solutions to the universal problems of
human relationships to be discovered, if at all, by trial and error. The
trial is painful and the error is costly.
People Tools: 54 Strategies for Building Relationships, Creating Joy,
and Embracing Prosperity, provides time-proven techniques that you can
use to build a better, happier, more successful life. It is the perfect
resource for busy people looking for fast and effective solutions to the
challenges we face every day.

People Tools are practical and easy to understand. From developing
self-confidence, to improving communication skills, to finding
constructive ways to resolve conflict, each People Tool addresses a
specific issue and provides a simple, straightforward strategy that you
can adopt to bring about a positive result. Some of the useful People
Tools in the book include:
- The Belt Buckle. When words are different than action (The Belt
Buckle), trust the Belt Buckle, not the words.

participate.
