Self-Help
With his more than forty yearsโ experience observing people and politicians in our nation's capitalโten of those years on Hardball, five nights a weekโChris Matthews has learned from the pros what it takes to be a success. Now Matthews shows us what we can learn from the worldโs most accomplished people and, more important, how we can emulate their best habits to improve our own lives. In The Hardball Handbook, Chris Matthews focuses on four areasโfriendship, rivalry, reputation, and successโand shows how we can cull the best traits of others and use them ourselves. Matthews takes us on a raucous road trip through political history and points out the bestโand worstโbehaviors of some of its most notable characters. Written in the assertive, good-natured style that is Matthewsโs trademark, each chapter has something to teach us. Here are a few truths from The Hardball Handbook: โข People would rather be listened to than listen. โข People donโt mind being used; what they mind is being discarded. โข People are more loyal to the people theyโve helped than the people theyโve helped are loyal to them. โข Not everyoneโs going to like you. โข No matter what anybody says, nobody wants a level playing field. Once you understand these and other universal truthsโand how to make them work for youโyouโll be ready to win at life.
