Never eat alone and other secrets to success

I really liked this at first but towards the end it started becoming too focused on conferences and I had to teeter off 

Danielle Rose

Before you roll your eyes and scoff this off as another “how to network” self help book — I would clear the slate and read this: this book makes you feel guilty, hopeful and inspired in that very order. It gives you practical tips to apply in your life, the confidence to overcome bouts of social anxiety in relationships and most of all, plots the “why” behind all of this. A must read for anyone who has ever had the thought “i can do this alone”

Este es un libro de negocios y sobre como crear relaciones. Me ayudó para comprender las relaciones sociales.

Cuando escucho del término 'Networking' es inevitable asociarlo con la gente que usa el relacionamiento personal para un propósito superficial como que hagas parte de un multinivel o algo por el estilo. Sin embargo Keith Ferrazzi y las personas que referencia en este libro, nos invitan a darnos cuentas que las relaciones auténticas son las que permiten pasar de ideas a proyectos increibles, las cuales muchas veces surgen de manera espontanea e inesperada, pero como todo, la suerte es amiga del hábito, por lo cual debemos tener nuestras habilidades blandas afinadas para conectar con quienes tienen grandes ideas resonantes con nosotros para tener todo el provecho posible.

Sin duda este libro es digno de una recomendación total, sumamente práctico y adaptado a nuestros tiempos de era digital.

Do you want to get ahead in life? Climb the ladder to personal success? The secret, master networker Keith Ferrazzi claims, is in reaching out to other people. As Ferrazzi discovered early in life, what distinguishes highly successful people from everyone else is the way they use the power of relationships—so that everyone wins. In Never Eat Alone, Ferrazzi lays out the specific steps—and inner mindset—he uses to reach out to connect with the thousands of colleagues, friends, and associates on his Rolodex, people he has helped and who have helped him. The son of a small-town steelworker and a cleaning lady, Ferrazzi first used his remarkable ability to connect with others to pave the way to a scholarship at Yale, a Harvard MBA, and several top executive posts. Not yet out of his thirties, he developed a network of relationships that stretched from Washington’s corridors of power to Hollywood’s A-list, leading to him being named one of Crain’s 40 Under 40 and one of Davos’ Global Leader for Tomorrow. Ferrazzi's form of connecting to the world around him is based on generosity, helping friends connect with other friends. Ferrazzi distinguishes genuine relationship-building from the crude, desperate glad-handling usually associated with “networking.” He then distills his system of reaching out to people into practical, proven principles. Among them: Don’t keep score: It’s never simply about getting what you want. It’s about getting what you want and making sure that the people who are important to you get what they want, too. “Ping” constantly: The Ins and Outs of reaching out to those in your circle of contacts all the time—not just when you need something. Never eat alone: The dynamics of status are the same whether you’re working at a corporation or attending a society event— “invisibility” is a fate worse than failure. In the course of the book, Ferrazzi outlines the timeless strategies shared by the world’s most connected individuals, from Katherine Graham to Bill Clinton, Vernon Jordan to the Dalai Lama. Chock full of specific advice on handling rejection, getting past gatekeepers, becoming a “conference commando,” and more, Never Eat Alone is destined to take its place alongside How to Win Friends and Influence People as an inspirational classic.

Never Eat Alone

Wojciech Waśniewski

One of the best business/networking books I've read. Really makes you think about the relationships you're building, both professional and social, and the way you're building them. Modern take on "how to make friends"

Alexander Lobov

The usual self-help garbage. Why do I bother you ask? That's a great question...

Bryan Maniotakis

This started off pretty strong, then slowly started unraveling into what felt like short-form tips by the end of the book. Overall it seemed to lack cohesiveness, and a lot of the end of the book felt like filler to take up space.

Magdalene Lim

Never Eat Alone - the title was a hook and little did I know that this was a book about networking. There are some useful tips such as content creation and other quips but also a number of things I disagreed with too. Err, name dropping? I think not.
