How to Have Confidence and Power in Dealing with People
Les Giblin · 2016
🎙 Narrated by Pat Reilly
75/100
👍 Worth It
This is a genuine classic in the interpersonal-skills canon, sitting comfortably alongside Dale Carnegie, and its staying power since 1956 says something real about it. Pat Reilly delivers a clean, professional, no-frills reading that suits the plainspoken material well. Some examples feel dated and a couple of the 'influence' tactics read as manipulative to modern ears, but overall it's a solid, durable pick worth the listen.
