There is a very impressive summary/reader’s comment on Amazon.com regarding the book, ” How to Win Friends and Influence People”. I looked it up for the hell of it. I had heard of it before and it always sounded like some sort of manipulative book.
It actually sounds lovely. Treating people with respect, honor, love. The biggest thing that has stuck with me was the excerpt..”Speak no Ill of Anyone, and speak of all the good things you know of everyone.” This idea and practice has made me more comfortable around people, less anxious in general, and so good, full of heart. They say that Love is the polar opposite of Fear. Doubt is fear. When you can show love to your fellow human, doubt begins to fade.
I think it’s just a matter of turning old, bad habits around. :)
