PeopleSmart is a plain English, how-to book on improving your interpersonal skills. It helped me discover exactly where my people skills are lacking and then taught me how to improve these areas. I was able to use what I learned in both my work and personal relationships. As a matter of fact, after reading just a few chapters and having my eyes opened, I successfully resolved a conflict with a colleague that had actually been keeping me awake at night. I'm an academic that's skeptical of quick fix advice not supported by research, but bored by esoteric ramblings. PeopleSmart struck the right balance. Enjoy the experience.

Self-help books are a dime a dozen, but this one is different - it doesn't promise a quick fix. Instead it lays out a systematic program for enhancing one of the most important skills of all, the ability to be effective in dealing with other people. The authors describe their approach as an interpersonal intelligence workout program. It describes in clear, understandable language the eight critical PeopleSmart skills, then provides a step-by-step program for practicing them. These skills are applicable in all aspects of interpersonal relations -at home, on the job, and even when dealing with a cranky store clerk. This is not a book about manipulating others to get what you want, but rather about bringing out the best in people. Learning to apply this principle is the key to the PeopleSmart approach
