Marketing Pitch If you want to change your life, but think it is too much work, this book will help you change many things in your life, by changing the little thing's. Excerpt Tarry1978: We have to change the way that the leader of our group of friends sees us. Mike1991: That's me. I'd like to think, but I can see the one person who has the most impact on my group of friends would be, and it's not the leader. John2010: That's right, it's not always the leader that you need to change. It could be the one who has the most impact on that leader or the entire group. So you may need to take the group dynamic apart to see who you need to change. Anna1983: Yes, and my friends have subgroups also. Like the order that my friends choose to ask each other out to a show or something. Mike1991: Right, but that can change weekly. John2010: That's right, but why do they change? That is what you need to learn, so you can control when and how they change. Anna1983: That sounds hard to keep track of. John2010: That is why I asked you to write these posts down, so you can see the big picture. Amy1979: Yeah, and that should help make your friendships closer. Tarry1978: That's right, and the closer you are, the easier it is to control them. John2010: Yes, and what you want to control is how they see you, so that others see you as they see you. Now, I have had a rude wake-up call telling me that it does matter how a stranger sees me. You all should know why that matters, but if you don't, I'll tell you. Anna1983: I care what a stranger thinks of me, because it's bad karma to think that anyone has bad thoughts about you. Mike1991: Well, I have enough to worry about, let alone what someone I don't know thinks of me. John2010: It matters what the strangers you pass daily say about you, because people talk to each other. I know you've heard of it: gossip. Rumors spread fast, and you never want a bad rumor to get out no matter how small it may seem to you, even if it's not true. If you can start a rumor, then you can change the world, or at least yours… Tarry1978: Like the rumor that you're CCC. "Cool, Calm, and Collected." Amy1979: Aren't you??? Alex1986: Sorry I'm late, but I was reading these posts and I think I get it now. My post is too short, but I see that I should be looking for the little things in all of my relationships. I should see what I need to change about myself. John2010: I wasn't going to be that blunt, but yes. It's how you find it. You should want to change by seeing how you affect people.

In this book we have a fictional author, John, who is writing a book about changing the little things in life, to change the bigger things. With this idea he logs onto a blog and finds 11 people who was complaining about there lives (friends, work, family).


This being so, he invites them all to meet in a private blog to introduce his idea to them.They meet three nights a week to talk about things of interest to the groups, about changing the people around them to suit themselves.


This book was very interesting to me. The way the author (in the story) helps these 11 people by just changing small things in their lives. It's an idea that people probably do without knowing it or don't know they can do it. So I have to give the author kudos for that, I will definitely be trying some of these ideas out myself to see if they work for me.
One thing I didn't really like was how John, the fictional author, was telling them to use people. Maybe he didn't really mean it that way, it does say several times that he is teaching them to read people, but it is how I took it. Also, I do wonder why these people felt so comfortable to give out all this information to strangers, so I do think a good lesson (as the author of the book mentions) is not giving out too much information on the internet, a lesson we should all heed.
Altogether I do think it is a very interesting book, the whole concept caught me from the beginning as I think it will other readers. We do have character development, from the 11 people as well I think from John. I do recommend this book to readers of all kind, I think each will find their own lesson(s) in the book.
