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.
