Reviews

[Dr. Yousra El-Kady]

الكتاب بسيط جدا في إسلوبه و لغته و مصطلحاته كما أنه صغير جدا في حجمه..
إستمتعت به فكان بمثابة مراجعة سريعة لمعظم ما قرأت في كتب التنمية البشرية، و الجدير بالذكر أن الكاتب ختم الكتاب بخاتمة ممتازة ألا و هي عدم الإستسلام أبدا ..
Never give up..
So don’t quit. Make challenging but realistic plans and work at making them happen. And whatever you do, don’t rely on luck. In any case, if you’re doing it properly, you won’t need it.

[Pooria]

The title is tempting. Some material is repeated over and over in just different wording and syntax. But in overall it was good.

In this book, How to Get What You Want...Without Having to Ask by Richard Templar, you learn nothing new apart from what you are told from the moment you are born:

1. Be honest
2. Work hard
3. Set deadlines
4. Write it all down
5. Look confident
6. Act confident
7. Learn to say no (of course you are not told this; the opposite is what is forced down your throat, you're even beaten to it)
8. Get to know people (networking, very important)
9. Pick up the signals (of things going awry, or of when is the best time to ask what you want and get it)
10. Learn to listen properly, and
11. Be objective

The book provides insight into how people think, the psychology behind their behaviour, and if you want them to dance to your tune, it's good to get a copy of this book and read.

[Jens Rinnelt]

Simple, straightforward wisdom concealed in one-pager rules.

For most people that are on a journey to take more control in their lives and believe it is their power that creates the results they want instead of luck, this book will not provide fundamentally new knowledge. The main takeaway for me was, however, that preparing and thinking things through does more than half of the job. The rules are simple and easy to understand. Of course, the application always depends on your own context. The biggest value, however, that the book offers is basically an outline for getting what you want without having to ask. Sometimes it does not hurt to have a look-up at hand in a straightforward layout and language.

On top of that, you want people to see you as someone they'd like to help and support. If you present yourself as a positive, likeable person, why would anyone say no to you, without a really good reason? And if they do have a really good reason to say no - well, there are ways to deal with that, too. Ways of helping them say yes.

Clear and inspirational book. The "rules" given are short, memorable, and the explanatory notes equally concise. I liked the suggestion to "make a date" to discuss something when you want to discuss a topic - it's basically creating clear follow up timings.

I am so beginner in books and this is my first book, despite the rate that I gave it ( still deserved it unfortunately ) but I feel so happy at the day that I finished my first book in my life. After stalling of when will I begin my first book since almost 7 years, but I finally I can say I’m a reader from now on ! Thanks to me and mom and this book because of its cover that attracted me in the day that I bought it

Một quyển self-help khá ngắn gọn và chỉ các bước một cách cũng rõ ràng nhưng không có gì mới.

Mình khá suy nghĩ về vấn đề này và cũng là vấn đề mà mình đang mắc phải:
"Có câu nói: "nếu muốn giải quyết việc gì thì hãy nhờ những người bận rộn". Điều này đặc biệt đúng bởi những người bận rộn nhất thường là những người không biết cách từ chối nhất, vì vậy họ sẽ luôn chấp nhận. Nghe này: bạn không được trở thành một người như vậy".

[Michael Barakat]

I really like Richard Templar’s books as they are really easy and can give you a big insight on life. The advices are really practical and i’ve been implementing lots if them in my daily routines. You can keep the book as a quick reference.

[Jay Braown]

يعرض الكتاب اساليب واستراتيجيات و نصائح للطلب من الأخرين بلغة سهلة بسيطة .. أغلب النصائح بديهية أو المذكورة في كتب التنمية الذاتية .

[Helfren]

A book about the journey in wanting something but having no will to ask. Makes life so much easier for the silent.

[Darya]

Nice book with some practical advice. The only thing is that it sounds as not always applicable to business situations and won't be fit in any cultural environment.

[Zainab Al Hammadi]

الكتاب جميل ولكنه يحتاج الى ١٠٠ صفحه فقط .. لانه اغلب المواضيع مكرره و تدور نحو نفس الموضوع مما جعلني اكل بعد قراءه المنتصف ولكن اصريت على قراءته علي اقرا فكره جديده..

[KLari]

Very easy to read, full of obvious but always good to be remembered advices.
Good book to keep and re read every once in a while when in need of a confidence booster

[Yusuf Sabqi]

I would say this book should be titled “how to ask questions the right way” rather than its title.

[tojinomoto]

It's all about having the right attitude - knowing what you really want, believing in yourself and not giving up to make it happen.

If you want to waste your time on reading, read books like this.. it will help you to get better in life.

I am going to reread this soon...

[T.L. Cooper]

How to Get What You Want Without Having to Ask by Richard Templar is a simple examination of the techniques to get people give you what you want. I didn't learn anything new from this book, but that's probably not a fair way to judge the book. I tend to usually get what I want anyway. The techniques described are simple and easy to understand even if a few do seem to contradict others. He sometimes points this out and explains why there are two approaches listed. It may serve someone who struggles to get what they want with some simple techniques to make their desires known. Even though Templar stressses that manipulation isn't the way to get what you want, some of the techniques described certainly border on manipulation. Others though are simply about learning to express one's wants in a more effective way. How to Get What You Want Without Having to Ask is well written with a bit of humor thrown in from time to time.
