People Tools: 54 Strategies for Building Relationships, Creating Joy, and Embracing Prosperity Description
Getting along well with others is the real secret to success and happiness. In tens of thousands of classrooms we teach reading, writing, and arithmetic and yet we leave solutions to the universal problems of human relationships to be discovered, if at all, by trial and error. The trial is painful and the error is costly.
People Tools: 54 Strategies for Building Relationships, Creating Joy, and Embracing Prosperity, provides time-proven techniques that you can use to build a better, happier, more successful life. It is the perfect resource for busy people looking for fast and effective solutions to the challenges we face every day.
“People Tools” are practical and easy to understand. From developing self-confidence, to improving communication skills, to finding constructive ways to resolve conflict, each "People Tool" addresses a specific issue and provides a simple, straightforward strategy that you can adopt to bring about a positive result. Open the book to any page and you will find a useful solution. Each tool is illustrated with insightful stories and amusing anecdotes that are relevant and relatable. The stories will reel you in but the advice will change your life.
Although you may recognize the more intuitive techniques in People Tools, this sourcebook provides explanations and helpful examples from a vast collection of different tools designed to help you further expand your own existing repertoire of skills. Some of the useful "People Tools" in the book include:
1. The Belt Buckle. When words are different than action (The Belt Buckle), trust the Belt Buckle, not the words.
2. Buy a Ticket. To make something good happen in your life you have to participate.
3. Catching a Feather. An alternative to the endless chase, this Tool reveals how to attract people you want to be closer to.
4. Patterns Persist. Prior actions are predictive of future behaviors.
5. Catch Them Being Good. Rewards are more effective than punishments.

“People Tools” written by Alan Fox offers far more than fifty strategies for joy, prosperity and relationship building – it offers some simple, though often forgotten small wisdoms how to influence on your well-being.
The author divided his book into 54 chapters, providing same number of advices; many of them have a bit funny names such as ”Fry Another Egg” or “After You, Gaston” but behind them lies a well written text about not only useful life advices, but also the ways and situations where and how to use them.
Alan Fox filled his book with numerous anecdotes from his own life, which makes reading his book similar to conversation with a good friend who talks about own experience and offers selfless help.
I especially liked few sentences which can be found at the very beginning of the book “…if you are like my mother you have already skipped to the last page to find where we will end up. I will tell you now. The last sentence in my book is the same as the first…”
Unfortunately, in our busy lives too often we rush, having no time for anyone, not even to ourselves, experiencing what the author calls “solitary confinement, living in a prison of our making”.
And that is precisely what the author provided on his pages - examples how to come out of your self-confinement, how to learn, understand and practice the keys to build happy and fulfilling relationships.
“People Tools” is book easy to read, not too long, and although you'll read it in one evening, to Fox’s advices you’ll come back often…

People skills ... something as simple as a smile at a stranger or just making eye contact ... seems like it has become a dying art of our new self-indulgent society. How many times have you stood endlessly in line for service and the cashier or attendant simply ignores you? Most people appreciate simple recognition ... but doesn't it seem like less and less folks are willing to project their own good will? It would not be fair to categorize this as a "self-help" book ... it is simply common sense and how to learn to apply it in your own life with readily achievable results. These ideas work and are important for a healthy society. When the author suggests that these skills should be mandatorily taught in school, I wholeheartedly agree! The ancient adage to "treat others as you wish to be treated yourself" is broken down in basic concepts for all to easily learn to put into practice in this fine book.
