Self-Help
With his more than forty years’ experience observing people
and politicians in our nation's capital–ten of those years
on Hardball, five nights a week–Chris Matthews has learned
from the pros what it takes to be a success. Now Matthews
shows us what we can learn from the world’s 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
areas–friendship, rivalry, reputation, and success–and 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 best–and
worst–behaviors of some of its most notable characters. Written in the assertive, good-natured style that is
Matthews’s trademark, each chapter has something to teach
us. Here are a few truths from The Hardball Handbook: • People would rather be listened to than listen. • People don’t mind being used; what they mind is being
discarded. • People are more loyal to the people they’ve helped than
the people they’ve helped are loyal to them. • Not everyone’s going to like you. • No matter what anybody says, nobody wants a level playing
field. Once you understand these and other universal truths–and how
to make them work for you–you’ll be ready to win at life.
