Will this book help make you a more popular person? I suppose the basic flaw of any self-help book is that the reader can readily adopt the program of a book and find the on-ramp to the Highway of Success. The first two sections of this book amount to little more than common sense in dealing with other people. The final section, however, gives some fascinating insight into establishing rapport using Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Boothman writes persuasively enough, but gives almost nothing in the way of solid scientific evidence for his program (At one point, he actually says, “In my opinion, and it has no scientific basis other than my close enough acquaintanceships with more than 35 couples . . .”). He also offers the surprising revelation that couples with successful relationships share not the primary sensory preference but the secondary one, yet gives little in the way of how to determine this secondary preference in others. One might also wonder how to deal with seriously difficult people, skilled manipulators, or more than one individual at a time. Perhaps in a sequel. Still, this is better than most of what passes for self-help advice.
REVISED VIEWPOINT: I’ve recently read a few books on autism and Asperger’s Syndrome which revealed, among other things, that those afflicted do not respond to body language or voice tone, unlike most people, who use those as the primary means of determining a person’s intention. I also recently read John Philpin and Patricia Sierra’s novel TUNNEL OF NIGHT (Philpin is a forensic psychologist, criminal profiler, and true-crime writer) in which it is stated that sociopaths who are aware of Neuro-Linguistic Programming can subvert it to deceive others. I’m downgrading my rating from 4 stars to 2 stars.

“It seems like the meaner kids are , the more friends they have.” She is twelve and does not have a mean bone in her body. So, I guess that is the way to make friends because the people who have been the cruelest to me usually have a lot of friends.

I’ve decided that this book does in fact serve it’s purpose – to make people like you. It starts by helping you connect better with people, & I really like the piece on determining if the person is auditory or visual (or kino). I used this as a good start, & later moved on to the more obvious: Fate & Reil’s How to have sex with hot girls (without even dating them), & Louis & Copeland’s How to succeed with women.

I thought this book was based on scientific research, but it is part of a body of knowledge termed Neurolinguistic Programming. It comes from New Age beliefs and has been hailed by some as “junk” science. Many people have marketed these teachings, such as this book, to come up with a pop-psychology that sells.
The upside of this book is that it is very entertaining. It is very upbeat and fun, and it sure seems like the magic bullet to cure all of your social awkwardness! But beware, you might just end up looking like a goober. One recent character on the Office used the a technique in the book called “mirroring” to make people like him better. It made for good prime-time comedy.
If you want to be a better friend, then read the book of Proverbs in the Bible. There you will find a more lasting and proven way of building your character.
