Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time Overview

Do you want to get ahead in life?

Climb the ladder to personal success?

The secret, master networker Keith Ferrazzi claims, is in reaching out to other people. As Ferrazzi discovered early in life, what distinguishes highly successful people from everyone else is the way they use the power of relationships—so that everyone wins.

In Never Eat Alone, Ferrazzi lays out the specific steps—and inner mindset—he uses to reach out to connect with the thousands of colleagues, friends, and associates on his Rolodex, people he has helped and who have helped him.

The son of a small-town steelworker and a cleaning lady, Ferrazzi first used his remarkable ability to connect with others to pave the way to a scholarship at Yale, a Harvard MBA, and several top executive posts. Not yet out of his thirties, he developed a network of relationships that stretched from Washington’s corridors of power to Hollywood’s A-list, leading to him being named one of Crain’s 40 Under 40 and selected as a Global Leader for Tomorrow by the Davos World Economic Forum.

Ferrazzi's form of connecting to the world around him is based on generosity, helping friends connect with other friends. Ferrazzi distinguishes genuine relationship-building from the crude, desperate glad-handling usually associated with “networking.” He then distills his system of reaching out to people into practical, proven principles. Among them:

Don’t keep score: It’s never simply about getting what you want. It’s about getting what you want and making sure that the people who are important to you get what they want, too.

“Ping” constantly: The Ins and Outs of reaching out to those in your circle of contacts all the time—not just when you need something.

Never eat alone: The dynamics of status are the same whether you’re working at a corporation or attending a society event— “invisibility” is a fate worse than failure.

In the course of the book, Ferrazzi outlines the timeless strategies shared by the world’s most connected individuals, from Katherine Graham to Bill Clinton, Vernon Jordan to the Dalai Lama.

Chock full of specific advice on handling rejection, getting past gatekeepers, becoming a “conference commando,” and more, Never Eat Alone is destined to take its place alongside How to Win Friends and Influence People as an inspirational classic.

Customer Reviews

The book of the week was never eat alone by Keith Ferrazzi. I can not remember the last time that motivates a book, my lifestyle changed so much. This book was recommended by a friend of mine and gave me a new appreciation for the relationships in my life.

The basic idea of the book is to develop life long relationship so many possible. Outside the casual acquaintance and start real strong relationship with the depth and value. In addition, any relationship that is createdlove should be involved reciprocity and knowledge. There must be the person you are in a relationship with (this love is love is not romantic, but a genuine concern for the welfare of another person.) You must show reciprocity, because only what you give. And honestly, once you cease to be concerned about what they come back to us and start worrying about how to really give everything you want and more (you can also ask friends to get what you want, youshould be based not only on what your relationship) you arrive at the end. Finally, you need to share knowledge in every sense. This will be the basis for many good relationships in your life. You know what stuff I do not know, and you know that certain things do not know you, and share your expertise with others and advance mutual lives.

One idea I found incredibly useful in this book is that there are two sides to use the reports to achieve your goals. Thefirst part is what, as I said, you have to give everything they have people in your relationships. This will require a lot of time and energy, but will be worth it. Can also be a friend, an internship or mentoring someone, or is a regular listener. Can you imagine what you do for the person who introduces the work of dream, or your "hero"? They would probably go to the ends of the earth to give the person what they wanted from you. Andbrings me to the second part ... The people are in relationships, what you need. If you want something, and you know someone who then must ask. If any of you report has links to your hero, you ask them of you. Imagine Too often, people do not want to ask, feel embarrassed or feel as if they do not want "a person guilty." Well, this is meaningless unless it is actually in a relationship, then you should not have problemssomeone asks a favor. And if you need "someone?" Personally, I like helping people ... everything has to be my friend, I will do my best to reach them. In fact, this blog is all dedicated to people. I have a sincere desire to help people, more money and more success. I share my knowledge with the world and I am the reader for each of my questions could have been.

To quote the book struck me: "Love,Reciprocity and knowledge are not like bank accounts, which are lower than grow them. Creativity is the test of creativity, the money generates more money, more knowledge creates knowledge .... Products before and give it all "

I will try to turn so many of my acquaintances in stable relationships possible. I know I'm afraid if it starts too many people and many do not react, but the few who, in turn, reports of great success. MorePeople who have close relationships with the largest number of people helping in the position, in a personal way. I urge you to start your own community standing colleagues, contacts, friends and mentors. Pick-up in this book can take any suggestions and useful ideas to incorporate into their lives. It is very strong ideas on how they have relationships that must change. Results will be your eternal life with success and has an incredible story filled happiness.Ferrazziand will surely be another of his books here in a not too distant future! If you have questions about the book do not hesitate to ask. I'd be more than happy that someone wants to help.
