Grade- C+
Difficulty Level- Suitable for all
Be A People Person was quite a short book, easy to read & understand.
I liked how the book was unexpectedly one heavily based on what it means to be a good Christian, that was the main theme of the book, though there was no mention of this in its description, and not all readers would enjoy such a surprise.
There were only a few golden nuggets in this book for myself, which is largely due to my own journey of personal growth so far, and how many of the lessons I had learnt elsewhere
This book was written in 2007. Having read the author’s newer books developing the leader within you 2.0 and the 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth, his dedication to lifelong growth is evident, as some opinions & perspectives in the book he would’ve undoubtedbly revised & updated if it was written more recently.
Overall, the book was okay. Having read his newer ones I expected more, especially for an author of his calibre.
