How to Get Along with Other People

By Janice Krasnow

And now to a book that exhorts us to turn off our televisions ... Practical and witty, written with a light touch but always deeply felt, Janice Krasnow's remarkable little book lays out a series of specific steps to help readers make meaningful connections with other human beings. The book combines invaluable suggestions and insights ("give up the comparison mode for good"; "life is disturbing, and it should be") with a series of specific exercises that lead to genuine communication and interaction. These include temporary withdrawal from the media and a program to break through the conversational cliches that allow us to maintain a destructive distance. With a list of things not to say (from "You look good " to "Take care of yourself ") to suggestions for getting along with people you know well (but ought to know better), this is a social survival guide for the 21st century.
