Query: A self-help book that reads like a fast-paced novel.

I was fortnuate enough to get an advance copy of this book before its release. I don't like self-help books and have never managed to complete reading one. WINNING WITH THE VELVET TOUCH took me on a ride with interesting stories and relevant anticdotes that made the point without preaching. The point of the book is simple, yet invaluable: If you get people on your side you will accomplish so much more than if you go it alone. Books like "Winning Through Intimidation" seem old fashioned and out-of-date compared to the dynamic principals of WINNING WITH THE VELVET TOUCH. I have followed the examples this book illustrates with great success and rewarding results.
