What I find most interesting about Using People is the layout. Typically, books will follow a certain layout and if they include pictures, it’ll be slightly altered. This book has a completely different layout that suits Aileen’s writing style completely. The pictures compliment and add meaning to her words.
Another thing I liked was the short “chapters.” She covered a lot of ground by keeping things short and concise. Her use of personal examples gave a warmth as if she was right in the room talking to you. This book felt very personal, rather than being a grandiose production, it felt intimate.
It’s a short read, and maybe that’s a good thing. Often times writers try to cram too much knowledge or storyline into one book and it becomes bloated. Using People has a nice rhythm and tone that I’m sure a wide range of people can appreciate.
All in all I enjoyed Using People and it’s definitely a book I would recommend to anyone that is trying to discover more about themselves and how they deal with people.
