Thanks to the thoughtful person who recently sent me a copy of a new book called ‘The Power of Nice’ by Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval of The Kaplan Thaler Group. It’s subtitled ‘How to Conquer the Business World with Kindness’, but the many hints and tips it gives are applicable to all of us in our everyday lives. You might think that being nice is a fairly obvious way of doing well in life, but believe me, plenty of us could benefit from the lessons in this short book! I’m a firm believer that cynicism kills (dreams, ideas, people, you name it) and ‘The Power of Nice’ certainly affirms my belief. N.B. The Kaplan Thaler Group is ranked as one of the fastest-growing advertising agencies in the United States, with over a billion dollars in billings - so they are definitely worth listening to!
