Never Eat Alone

And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time

De: Keith Ferrazzi, Tahl Raz

Narrado por: Richard Harries

Keith Ferrazzi is a master networker who claims his secret is merely reaching out to other people. And what distinguishes highly successful people from everyone else is the way they use the power of relationships, so that everyone wins. In Never Eat Alone, Ferrazzi presents the specific steps and mindset he uses to connect with the thousands of individuals in his Rolodex.

Ferrazzi's form of connecting to people is based on generosity, helping friends connect with other friends. He distinguishes genuine relationship-building from the crude, desperate glad-handling usually associated with "networking". In the course of the book, Ferrazzi outlines the timeless strategies shared by the world's most connected individuals, from Katherine Graham to Bill Clinton, Vernon Jordan to the Dalai Lama.

Chock full of specific advice on handling rejection, getting past gatekeepers and more, Never Eat Alone is destined to take its place as an inspirational classic.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[A] useful volume....His clear and well-articulated steps for getting access, getting close and staying close make for a substantial leg up." (Publishers Weekly)
"Ferrazzi presents a whirlwind of ideas to widen your circle of contacts that goes way beyond the usual stale concepts of 'networking'." (Booklist)

Loved This Book!

Positive success that is easily contagious. Wonderful, fresh perspective that translates throughout any industry in a recipe for success.

Highly recommend!!!!

Great book; not may favorite narration

I enjoyed this book, but was not the biggest fan of the narration. However, after a few minutes of listening I was able to get used to it after each stopping point. I would have have recommended it to friends and associates.

A bit dated, but still one of the best intros to networking

I’ve listened to this book twice (and yes, I know there is an updated version - I’ll listen to that one soon so I can compare them). While some of the examples are a bit dated, the content is still remarkably relevant. And I love the stories and examples of how the author grew in his skills and the mistakes that were made along the way.

A 10!!!

This is a MUST read for anyone who wants to move their career forward. If you are looking for a way to catapault yourself 2-3 levels within 1-2 years, you MUST read this book. It holds so many secrets and best practices for building your network and getting you in all the "tough" doors.

Enjoy!

excellent book on networking

really reframed the whole concept from some kind of strategy to building real relationships with people

An essential listen

you get so tied up in day to day activities its good to be reminded of certain social skills.

Great stuff, a bit long-winded

Lots of great ideas here about growing your network personally and professionally. It could be a bit shorter and communicate the same basic substance. Be sure to set your iPod reading speed to "Faster." ;)

great book, great narrator

This book was great! The content combined with the narrator's tone created a very enjoyable and educational listen. I listened several times, each time with new take aways and action items.

Excellent Book

The content of this book is great! And, although Keith Ferrazzi does a good job reading his book, his reading pace was a little slow for me and didn't hold my attention as well as I personally would have liked.

Very few valuable insights.

What did you like best about Never Eat Alone? What did you like least?

The story of the author is inspiring. He went from being a working class kid to becoming a successful businessman. However, the book is self-congratulatory and very light on any real insights. The book is mostly common sense. The predominant thought I had reading the book was that the author was not qualified and hadn't formed nearly enough original ideas to be writing a book.
