This is a book from Real World Managers talking about Real World problems and their Real World Solutions.How convenient that the skills which actually get you ahead in life are all here in a succinct capsule form. A 6 month soft skills course can easily be built around the contentsThe illustrations on the silent language of success, namely Body Language are apt and telling. Overall a brilliant first effort. How about an encore, Ramesh square?

Seems to be an ideal book for people who do not understand what soft skills are all about. The TOC looks very appealing.

It is a very useful book.
