Reseña del libro "Social Skills: The Top Essentials (en Inglés)"
Social skills are critical to getting along with others in life - both socially and at work. Having decent social skills makes all the difference in effective communicating, relationships going smoother and making life generally more successful. If for anyone these important 'soft' people skills did not develop naturally, or did not develop fully, they can be learned, which improves the quality of life. A SmartyPants Secret is that one piece of information that you need to know to make every job a little bit, or maybe a lot, easier. Almost everything we do in life has a SmartyPants secret that to it, that knowing the "secret" would help tremendously in shortening the learning curve. Experts, who have hours of experience doing what the novice is attempting to do, have intimate knowledge, which may not be so secret, but it is key information that the novice greatly needs. If you've ever struggled with something then learned the 'something' afterwards that caused you to say to yourself or say aloud, "Well, if I only known THAT before I did this, it would've made a world of difference!" then you just learned a SmartyPants secret - the hard way. The short SmartyPants Secrets books give you the secret that you need on a given topic, the most important piece of information that makes the greatest difference between easier success and hard-fought failure. Solving problems is not the SmartyPants concept; rather it is having that key knowledge piece that makes efforts easier and perhaps successful faster. Plus hopefully avoiding having the problem in the first place. We do anything in life because we have a goal to achieve. Reaching that goal successfully, quickly, and easier knowing the SmartPants secret is the SmartyPants concept in action. All SmartyPants secrets have a physiological root, grounded in shared human biology - making every SmartyPants secret valid for everyone. While we are all uniquely different, our common biology consists of inherited traits, stretching back to the Neanderthal era. Applying a SmartyPants secret will work for you no matter who you are.
