eServus Comments:
I bought this book for my daughter. After being so much inspired by The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (written by Sean’s father) I wished my teenager would absorb some of this social magic. Daughter read her paperback version while I listened to the audiobook in the car. We both liked it very much!
