If you want to make friends, you must first do something for others—those things that require time, effort, thoughtfulness, and dedication; even people who start with hostility can be won over with genuine and sincere contact; interpersonal relationships are communication between people, expressed in modern ways as the golden rule "Do to others as you would have them do to you" from the Bible; if you keep your own thoughts hidden but try to understand everything about the other person, it won’t work; focus on understanding others, rather than blaming them; try to put yourself in their shoes—why would they do that? This is far more beneficial and interesting than criticizing or blaming, and fosters empathy, patience, and kindness.
This book explains the secrets of successful interpersonal communication in simple and easy-to-understand language, with vivid and engaging stories. Its purpose is to help you discover the latent energy within you—energy that you habitually fail to utilize—energy that is a treasure hidden within you, waiting to be developed and used! If you follow the first three sections of this book and put them into practice, you will undoubtedly greatly improve your ability to interact with others.
