Review # 1 was written on 2016-02-16 00:00:00 Lillian Gracia i am aware that i am giving this textbook a higher star-rating than the last novel i read, but stop your taunting. this is the newest edition of the book, and it is actually pretty fun and useful. reading greg's review below made me a little defensive about this book, because it's not just about how not to act like a selfish jerk when helping people. i am not known for my people skills, so maybe he's just calling me a jerk here, i don't know, but i did get a lot out of this book - more than just not being a jerk in general. it also gives ton of illuminating examples of dealing with sensitive materials and queries, how to compel people to get to the point of what they are really looking for without all of the evasion and misinformation, some gentle psychological manipulations - purely for the forces of good, dealing with children and cultural expectations and mumblers... i may keep this book - it's not the worst. come to my blog!

Review # 2 was written on 2016-03-07 00:00:00 Aaron Mccormack This book shouldn't need to exist. People who are in the business of finding information or books for people should be able to do the things described here, and just using some commonsense they should know these things. Sadly though that's not the case, and this book is probably quite helpful and should probably be read by lots of people in different fields so that they can handle working with people better. I almost put this book in on my 'life-is-shit' shelf because it's very existence means seems to mean that people need to have a manual of some kind so that they don't act like selfish assholes when helping someone else.
