Schmoozing for Mature Adults

Thourlby delivers a masterful exposition of what can be called the Truth of Human Relationships, whereas other authors may treat the subject simply as schmoozing. What sets Thourlby apart is that his context is respect for the self and respect for others and that a Higher Power has placed you together for a reason. Studying and executing on his program for social success is then simply an acknowledgement of reality. Whereas the prose meanders at times, this book's message is of imperative importance...a must-read.

Passport to Power

We have received Passport To Power -- Thank you. We have many self-improvement books in our collection and it is among the best, including those of Dale Carnegie, which we have a particularly high regard for. In fact, Passport to Power appears to us in many ways to be a contemporary and more comprehensive development of Dale Carnegie's approach to life.

I found this book to be an answer to all my shortcomings.

Like most people, I was always too embarrassed to ask anyone about all the social etiquettes that are so important in today's workplace and social life. This book focuses immediately on the situations you'll find yourself in today's business and social world; and explains in simple detail how you may instantly resolve them, before it damages your career. Trust me; you will find this book to be a growing experience, and you will refer back to it. Serge Barrantes

A Must-Have For The Corporate Wannabe

I must give this book my highest rating. When I started on the corporate ladder several years ago; a colleague recommended this reference book. Well, I can't recount the amount of times I have referred to this book and used it in my professional career. Passport to Power covers the manner in which a young professional should comport him or herself in a myriad of business and personal situations. This is a great guide to achieving success in the modern corporate world. Since reading the book, I attended a seminar conducted by Mr. Thourlby and found him to be as fascinating as his book is informative.

easy reference book for handling all social situations

This book holds your hand in describing how to dress, behave, act, eat, shave, comb, brush, mingle, scrub, laugh, converse, and wash yourself. Also, Mr. Thourlby, who I have seen in many movies ranging from AMC classics to today's Sabrina and Law and Order, is an authority on life experience. I use it as a handy reference guide.
