Thank you.

Since I presume you have read the book, may I ask, how did it work for you?

I'm very interested in upping my social skills.

Cheers

Oddly enough, I decided to read the book after I had already optimized my social skills. It was basically a recap of most of what I already had stumbled upon! I realized it would only take me several more hours to summarize what I had read, so decided to do it to provide value for others.

Knowing the OP personally, I can attest to very high social skills at the point when I met him at NYC meetups. I don't know if this was always the case, but he came off as a natural.

Dear Cosmos

Thank you for you answer. I'm not too shabby, that is I can easily turn a stranger into an acquaintance or lover. It's from acquaintance to friend, and finding acquaintances I'd like to be friends with that I could improve (which translates to chapters 4 and 5 of your book, which sadly are not available). Please do update when they are.
