A personal code for getting the best from everyone. We all know someone who is a natural 'people person'.

These rules are the guiding principles that show you how to connect with strangers, build strong relationships with friends and colleagues, and even get the best out of difficult people. They will help you say the right thing, do the right thing, and know instinctively how to handle every situation. You'll have relaxed, easy relationships and you'll be that person who gets on with everyone.
