Read the book by Dale Carnegie (http://www.amazon.com/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/0671027034 http://www.amazon.com/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/06...). Joining events on http://www.meetup.com/ http://www.meetup.com/ can be helpful too.
- rullopat 11y agoI've red it. It's made of behavioral patterns for sellers mostly, I think you will not get any real friend following the teachings of that book. Meetup events are a much better way.
- kaybe 11y agoWhen you find yourself following the advice in the book without trying or thinking about it is when you have met potential friends, I think.
- rullopat 11y agoI tried the advice in the book, it's fine for superficial connections with people only. It mostly tells you to never contradict people to be more "likeable". It's OK for a first contact with people for sure, but not for establishing a real connection.
- solusglobus 11y agoTo the OP, if you do not have time to read or if you are not sure whether it is worth reading, you can read the summary at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Win_Friends_and_Influence_People https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Win_Friends_and_Influen... First impression is very important when you are meeting anyone. One of the most important takeaways from the book is "be genuinely interested in other people".
- Tomte 11y agoI've written another summary, focused only on a few points, but a bit more flesh, not just bullet points: http://www.2uo.de/how-to-win-friends/ http://www.2uo.de/how-to-win-friends/
