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)

3.5 Stars - while it's a good book, I've certainly listen to better.

this book had been referenced in enough other books that I expected more than I got.

Though it probably wasn't his intent. I can see why I get randomly spammed on LinkedIn.

His complete approach seems very effective, ethical and respectful.

Unfortunately, I think people take only the easy parts and apply it such that it's immediately transactional instead of relationship building as the author intended.

honestly some of his ideas are either dated or completely debunked 19 years later when I listened to this book.

It's worth listening to for some very specific ways to build relationships, especially with those you don't know, or to deepen the ones you do know.

All that's said,vI honestly think it wasn't that great. It had a tone of overconfidence that comes with people who have been successful doing what they're doing rather than understanding whether it would be more universally applicable.

well, I think most or all of it could be applied. It needs to be updated by the author & / or reworked by the reader.

So it's less useful than other books that are timeless because The authors had a better understanding of human psychology and behavior.

Certain parts seemed very much to be generating public image which isn't especially authentic.

Great book on networking/connecting with people

Learn how to connect with people and grow your business. Ferazzi will teach you how to be confident and go after what you want in a respectable manner. He lists methods for reaching even the most un-reachable people and describes how to turn small talk into business deals. This is a superb marketing and personal interaction tool.

excellent all around

good narration, incredible information. even if you think you know this stuff, it reinforces it plus gives you a lot of information you find yourself wondering why you haven't already implemented. excellent.

AWFUL NARRATOR!

I really wanted to listen to this book but the narrator is just awful. The pace is incredibly slow...2 second pauses between words. It sounds like he's reading to special ed.

The Only Regret is not Reading This Sooner

This book is an absolute eye-opener for me. It challenged my thoughts about political relationships in college at work and more. It offered me greater sense of purpose and fulfillment through building contacts into an intimate network.
Maybe I wanted a different narrator at the start, but within the first chapter I was wowed by the whole experience of this download.
