The SQUEEZE: Getting ahead in life and climbing the ladder of success are both popular clichés. However, they gain significant traction when they are associated with the concept of networking. In other words, an individual can’t “get ahead” without help. In “Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time,” Keith Ferrazzi with Tahl Raz examine the power of relationships. Ferrazzi offers specific steps to help people recognize the network of friendships and associates that surrounds them. In the book, Ferrazzi remarks about how he used his own Rolodex to develop the relationship-building techniques he offers within the book. “Never Eat Alone” is a must-read for individuals who want to help others achieve their desires.
Notable Endorsement: “Keith’s insights on how to turn a conference, a meeting, or a casual contact into an extraordinary opportunity for mutual success make invaluable reading for people in all stages of their professional and personal lives. I strongly recommend it."—Jeffrey E. Garten, Dean, Yale School of Management
