Absolutely Terrible

This book is only helpful if your a 55 year old living in 1997 that regular attends sales conference. It should be called “The Art of Being Boring”

How to be a weirdo

If you do everything she says in this book you will be the most annoying person at any party. I cannot believe I paid for this. I heard her talk on the Art of Manliness podcast and she seemed to have some good ideas around how to mingle, something I am very bad at. However, like a bad comedy movie, she put all the good parts in the preview, and the rest is complete garbage, also her voice is incredibly annoying. Don't buy this book in text or especially audio form!
