The Art of People

In today's world, more than ever, communication, particularly with the advent of social media is the key to success in the workplace. That's why Dave Kerpen, a social media marketer wrote this highly useful book entitled The Art of People. In his book, Kerpen outlines eleven broad skills that one can use to communicate in today's world. In each of these eleven skills, the author breaks things down further and focuses on one particular subset.

Kerpen's book is unique in that in each of the book's 53 short chapters, he presents a particular scenario that he, his wife, and his colleagues have encountered. He gives enough detail for the reader to make an educated guess at what he's trying to say. In the end, he summarizes the skills that apply to each scenario and presents the reader a three- or four-step action plan they can use to apply these skills to their personal and professional lives.

Overall, I found this book to be very helpful. I would recommend it to anybody living in today's society.
