Rewiew of Winning With People

Winning With People
• Genre: Personal Growth and Motivation
• Author: John C. Maxwell
• Overall rating: 10 of 10
• How I heard about it: Honor Academy I.E.T. program
• Suggested Audience : Anyone wanting successful people skills

Wow this is the #1 book on my list when I am writing this. Maxwell seriously outdid himself here. One of the most accurate comprehensive self development books I have ever read. The book is written in what Maxwell calls “principals” each chapter covers a separate principal of how to relate to different types of people. Everything from dealing with overly defensive problematic people, to making it through life by establishing meaningful friendships is covered in this masterpiece.

This book takes a typical Maxwell style of writing. If you have never read any of his books I would best describe it as reading a power point presentation in book form. Almost like an elaborate extensive outline of all his points. This makes it extremely easy to follow. While one might think this style of writing is dry, Maxwell gets away with it beautifully here.
This book is so insightful as well as entertaining. He had a way of keeping your attention so well. I can hardly express how impressed I was with this book an absolute must read.
