Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the culmination of decades of worldly experience. The author frankly and systematically draws from decades of personal insights to reveal the common pitfalls that await the unwary. The maxims include: human nature is much the same everywhere; the world is a mongrel, treat it like a wolf and it will back down, like a spaniel and it will turn on you; and to be sincere is not to say all you think, but merely those things you feel to be true. This book looks at the breadth of human nature, and how to navigate it while maintaining your own integrity and identity, offering wisdom that will prove invaluable to anyone from all walks of life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
