Andrea Nierenberg is the author of “Nonstop Networking: How to Improve Your Life, Luck, and Career”. This is good pick for those just starting out and want an easy read about how to network with people. Personal networking is an important skill for anyone who owns a business, and there’s even a chapter for introverts who are uncomfortable in social situations.

Based on the principle that most people are more comfortable doing business with those they are familiar with and trust, it’s a nice guide on how to build and strengthen your personal and business relationships. Whether you’re looking for a job, or have a business and want to gain more clients this type of skill is an important one to develop. Reviews for Nonstop Networking on amazon were favorable, with the only real complaint that the 170 page book is printed in double space type and a large font, so you’ll notice it’s considerably smaller if it were printed normal size.
