About the Book
"You Can! – People Skills for Life, by Allan & Barbara Pease, is a self-help book for those who aspire to be recognized and appreciated as powerful individuals.
Summary of the Book
This book asserts that it is possible to acquire the charisma, which makes some people socialize in the most comfortable way even in an unfamiliar social situation. It says that it is possible for anyone to be that person, who not only positions himself or herself comfortably, but also strikes an engaging conversation with others and put them to ease. This talent, the authors claim, can be learned, enhanced and perfected with determination."
