PEOPLE TOOLS- 54 Strategies for Building Relationships, Creating Joy, and Embracing Prosperity Author : Alan C Fox

"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.
