Kaplan, who has consulted for companies such as Pepsi, Revlon, and Proctor & Gamble, has written an outstanding book on how to take control of your business, personal, and social life. He provides helpful ideas on how to become a more influential person by treating people with kindness and respect. He offers step-by-step plans such as "Seven Ways To Make a Lasting Impression" and "Nine Ways To Free Yourself of Self-Defeating Habits." Along with these plans and numerous self-tests, the reader learns to control anger, initiate ideas, appear smarter, dress better, deal with difficult people, break bad habits, and change other behaviors that can negatively affect the impression one makes. Kaplan's entry into the crowded field of self-improvement stands out by its use of these step-by-step plans. It is a well-written, easy-to-understand text that should inspire readers to make at least some changes in their lives. Recommended for public libraries.?Joel Jones, Kansas City P.L., Mo.
