Synopsis

This book is for people who wish to become more assertive and more respected, and is full of exercises and tips to raise your social status. For example, in a conversation where you wish to impress, you probably agree a lot of the time which you know will generate rapport. If you disagree sometimes you will show that you have your own mind, and may stimulate more conversation. Agreement is compliance which generates rapport, disagreement generates status, careful balance is needed.

People may bully you, using presuppositions to lower your status. Presuppositions are nasty put-downs which are hard to respond to quickly. Examples,'You know you can't do it!' or 'Do you realize you're letting the team down?' This book examines presupposition patterns with many exercises and examples, enabling you to respond to them quickly and effectively.

If you wish to speak to a busy person you risk being nervous, speaking too quickly and losing status. You can make them WANT to hear your words, also you can use this 'being busy' phenomena to YOUR advantage!

This book is full of exercises, tips, eye openers and social dynamics to change your life for the better, for ever.

About this title

From the Author

Going through the self-improvement library, I realised that even though personal `status' was often discussed, what seemed to be missing was a book which addressed the issue head on. I decided to fill this gap, and here is the missing book. This book tells you, the reader, HOW you can raise your status, as well as revealing exactly what other people might be doing in an attempt to raise their own status by lowering yours. When you know what is happening and how best to respond, you can hold on to or even gain status. Often recognition of these situations in itself is enough to create immunity, and knowing how to respond if appropriate (sometimes it's more powerful not to respond!) will also give the reader more overall confidence. The reader might also recognise certain things they are doing without knowing which are giving away their status, and they will feel empowered as they learn how to hold and increase their status instead.

I feel a little embarrassed but obliged to tell you that the book isn't of the quality I had originally wished for, and in the process of publication some of the tables seem to have become a bit mixed up. Having said this, the text is more or less how it was intended, and I feel that the reader will find this book a great read, and will enjoy reading lots of useful and completely practical information from many sources. I hope that this knowledge will be used responsibly to good and life-enhancing effect by the reader to increase their `status', and to make them a more respected , more sought after and more popular person.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: I have now published a bigger and better item. Get it: Understand it: Get ahead includes most of the information inside this book, along with more information and more exercises.
