BOOK REVIEW

This book is based on best tips and techniques which will help a person to earn friends in real life and virtual life as well.

 If I talk about the important technique which will help is the Friendship Formula.
Under that formula author provide us with few techniques which can be helpful in getting more friends. That formula is a under:
Friendship = Proximity + Frequency + Duration + Intensity
Proximity states the distance between you and the person you want to talk to.  Frequency means the number of times you get contacted with the person you want to meet. Duration is simply the length of time you going to spend with the person you are interested. And finally, Intensity means how much pressure you going to make to make that person liked you.

The another best technique which is mentioned in this book is Nonverbal Transmitting of Friend signal like eyebrow flash, head tilt, smile , eye gaze and much more. I have personally tried all the techniques and found such a great results that I can’t wait to share it with the readers.

I had a layover in Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi. I was waiting for my coffee and didn’t noticed that Iam was sitting in front of woman reading a book. I really want to talk to that lady but didn’t able to do that. After few minutes I started reading the novel named – How to Impress People! . After that she looked at me and we glance at each other. One hour has passed I smiled upon her with head tilted and eyebrow flashed, later on I have realised that techniques mentioned in  the book –“ The Like Switch”  did its job and I come to know the lady’s name is Supriya and she was heading to Chennai for the divorce formalities get done.

The next technique is the Golden Rule of Friendship. Before getting into that let me quote something which I have found in this book.
You can make more friends in two months by becoming genuinely interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.  By DALE CARNEGIE.
And this technique revolves around this quote. In simple words The Golden Rule of Friendship is if you want people to like you, make them feel good about themselves. If you are able to make other people good about themselves then you can be friend with anyone. In this world of Social Anxiety people used to hate themselves and who doesn’t like to hear well about themselves. If you can able to listen what other want to hear about themselves then you are going to earn friends. And it is said that if you are able to make other person good then that person will make you feel good about yourself too.
 In this book lots of techniques are mentioned which are not just techniques but the methods which had tried and tested by the author and jot it down to compiled this book.

MY WORDS

This book will really help as I have already narrated my story. The best way to read to this book is to take notes and marking the important points and techniques which has the potential of getting new friends. We love to make new even Introvert also so If we are able to get some kind of help we will going to have a lots of friends  and this book will really going to guide you and help you. This book can also help in getting your short term and long term relationship better with friends, lovers, colleagues and family. This book has best method to avoid situations in marriage.  I would really suggest this book if you eagerly want to earn more friends, short term and long term relationship.
3 stars out of 5.

Economy and Lockdown : Relation Exposed

Well, hello again! To be honest, I sort of feel like one of those ridiculous weather forecasters standing on the dock as a hurricane whips through. Yes, economic numbers are bad. Yes, it’s likely to get worse before it gets better. At this point, the likelihood we’re headed into a recession is basically a given. Why aren’t we there already? Because a “recession” is generally described as a period of two consecutive quarters when GDP goes down, simply put, too little time has passed to make it official. There have been 33 recessions in the US since 1854, with 4 occurring after 1980. So, while they’re not a whole lot of fun,they are a pretty normal part of the business cycle. But lately, you may have heard another word floating around. Depression. Oh my...! OK OK, before we start freaking out, let’s get a clear picture of what a depression actually looks like and see what history has to teach us about softening the blow. Let’s start with the text-book definition of what...

WHAT AM I ?

A nd it’s been 23 years since am a Hindu i.e. probably by the birth. Very first I was quite a Hindu and followed every rituals which have been taught by my parents. When you gradually grown up you start questing everything when no one is there to answer your questions. Further, I was started not to even belief in God. I am a believer, despite a period of schoolboy atheist. I am proud of the history of my faith in my own words. Every morning, for longer than I can remember, I have begun my day with the prayers which was learnt by me without even knowing what it states. What is the meaning of `Hinduism’ ? Hinduism is just an experience of a culture better say an ancient culture which was in existence well before our born and is still here and will remain even after decades of death.  The word `Hindu’ did not exist in any Indian language till its use by foreigners gave Indians a term for self-definitions. Hindu thoughts also makes a ritual out of the unknowab...
